1 Thessalonians 4:14-18
NASB

‘For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.

For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep.

For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first

Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord.

Therefore comfort one another with these words.’

I've been to the Museum of the Bible, and it's an amazing place.

By faith, you are prepared to face the giants before you as you are equipped for this great Reformation now before us. You may not think you're ready, but the Holy Spirit is preparing you now as you hear Him, surrender, and boldly declare the Word of the Lord wrapped in His holy fear, running with the horses through the fire and trials you have come through to this day. Heb. 11:37-40

These things make sense; 1. Warfare prayer
From Watchman Nee, The Spiritual Man,
2. Acts Chapter 13, Antioch, certain prophets and teachers ministering to the Lord and teaching, fasting, and praying. Then they laid hands on Saul and Barnabas sending them. This was strategic action from the Holy Spirit. Note in verse 9, Saul called Paul after giving his testimony filled with the Holy Spirit. Then the Proconsul believed after seeing and being taught.

Do you see the difference between this and what we call church in the west? Fasting puts the flesh to death. Praying in the Spirit followed by God enlightened prayer leads to strategic action. I Peter 3:18

Psalm 121:1-8
NASB

‘I will lift up my eyes to the mountains;
From whence shall my help come?

My help comes from the LORD,
Who made heaven and earth.

He will not allow your foot to slip;
He who keeps you will not slumber.

Behold, He who keeps Israel
Will neither slumber nor sleep.

The LORD is your keeper;
The LORD is your shade on your right hand.

The sun will not smite you by day,
Nor the moon by night.

The LORD will protect you from all evil;
He will keep your soul.

The LORD will guard your going out and your coming in
From this time forth and forever.’

Romans 1-3

‘Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with incorruptible love.’

Ephesians 6:23-24
NASB

‘With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints, and pray on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chain; that in proclaiming it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.’

But that you also may know about my circumstances, how I am doing, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, will make everything known to you.

I have sent him to you for this very purpose, so that you may know about us, and that he may comfort your hearts.’

Ephesians 6:18-22
NASB

@RevDurrance36

‘For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm,

Stand firm therefore, HAVING GIRDED YOUR LOINS WITH TRUTH, and HAVING PUT ON THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS,

and having shod YOUR FEET WITH THE PREPARATION OF THE GOSPEL OF PEACE;

in addition addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

And take THE HELMET OF SALVATION, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.’

Ephesians 6:12-17
NASB

Here's our #Bible #apologetics answer to the skeptics: http://bit.ly/338iqVC

‘Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things?

And you know what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed.

For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way.

Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming;

that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders.

and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved.’

2 Thessalonians 2:5-10
NASB
