A Tested Warrior

August 30, 2020

Rev. Dennis R. Hartman

We are in the midst of a battle. The lines have been drawn. We belong to the Lord Jesus Christ who saved us by His blood shed on the cross and we need to stand as warriors for the Lord! We need to stand up for what is right. What is right, we find this in God’s Word. Jesus is our Leader; He is the Warrior in our midst. Zephaniah 3:17. We are told to follow Him. When He came to die for our sin, He did not come in fear of what He had to go through or the enemy that was against Him. When Peter cut off the ear of the High Priest servant in the garden of Gethsemane, He told him, 53 "do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels? (Matt. 26:53 NAU) We should be a tested warrior, but instead we have laid our weapons down. There is a song called “The Army of the Lord” So, we want to look at Ephesians 6:10-13 this morning and see what we need to do if we are going to win this war that is going on today.
