Eph 6: 10-13 A Strong Man Fully Armed

                               
Luk 11:21 ASV - When the strong man fully armed guardeth his own court, his goods are in peace:            I will tell you this satan knows who is under the blood of the lamb ,  less we forget the power of that blood and the Passover of that blood.  The court and the goods here are in his promises and his protection from the evil one.  Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you.  The only power satan has over Gods children is the power we give him .  If we sin and repent not we bring a curse upon us ,  Jhn 5:14 ASV - Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing befall thee.     Jesus delivered us from the Law of sin and of death we have power over sin ,  James 1  but each man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.     Then the lust, when it hath conceived, beareth sin: and the sin, when it is fullgrown, bringeth forth death.  Be not deceived, my beloved brethren.  
Jesus has spoke many times in the gospels of you and I having power over all the power of the enemy .   That is why we have armor and the sword of the word of God       Jesus said it is written satan and that is what will defeat the enemy in your lifes.   Rom 10:10 ASV - for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.     Your father has put faith into your heart through your faith and righteous living and with the confession of you mouth through your faith you stop the mouths of lions .   Heb 11:33      who by faith [that is, with an enduring trust in God and His promises] subdued kingdoms, administered justice, obtained promised blessings, closed the mouths of lions,
  Exo 12:23 KJV - For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.    House Heb  bah'·yith house, dwelling habitation , human bodies 
  This verse is speaking of your Passover ,  the Egyptians are the enemy of today as to the world and its lusting and perversion of everything righteous and pure .  You must have the blood of Christ applied upon your hearts ,  the blood being the life of Jesus manifesting in you.   His flesh is his word feeding your spiritual man the whole word of God and drinking the blood of the lamb which is to take on his very nature seeing Christ in the mirror .    2Co 3:18 ASV - But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit.
Rev 12:11 ASV - And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony; and they loved not their life even unto death.  Your unwavering faith and standing fast upon the promises of God will be your salvation in the days to come.   The word of God in these last days is coming with great revelation God is reveling his word to whom ever desires to know his will in their life.   Religion is an enemy to the cross of Christ  Jesus said you cannot serve God and man you must choose whom you will follow .    Good people do not go to heaven .   Redeemed people go to be with the Lord ,  serving God is a life time of sacrifice and repentance .  Do you know we all have a cross to bear many times Jesus said to pick up you cross and follow him .   The church has  submitted to a feel good religion  man has another gospel they follow.   Jesus made a whip and drove them out of the temple he said they make merchandise of you  .        Jhn 2:16 ASV - and to them that sold the doves he said, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house a house of merchandise.  
Exploitation the church as a whole has fallen into a carnal business ,  Church to some men is to make money and by fear and condemnation they exploit the sheep .   The reason for this is that Gods people do not read or know what the word says about them . You have the words of Jesus the gospel he was anointed with by his father to set the people free from this very thing.    And those that believe on his name gave he the right to become children of God .        Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.     But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.    To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.   Jesus therefore said unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.   All that came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.    I am the door; by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and go out, and shall find pasture.
2Pe 2:3 ASV - And in covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose sentence now from of old lingereth not, and their destruction slumbereth not.
Mar 11:11 ASV - And he entered into Jerusalem, into the temple; and when he had looked round about upon all things, it being now eventide, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.     The money changers were prepairing for the sabbath and bringing in the animals and sacrifices for sale .   And Jesus saw this and he left out of the temple until the sabbath day .    Please see this Jesus was walking this earth at that very moment realizing he was the only sacrifice for the people,  the only blood that would atone for their sins of the world.   And he was seeing the cup of indignation of his father for him .            Psa 69:9 ASV - For the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up; And the reproaches of them that reproach thee are fallen upon me.     salvation will cost you nothing  only to believe and repent and be baptized in his name ! the name of Jesus and than you shall receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost .    Yes the book of Acts is the beginning of the New Testament church ,   and Jesus spoke many times of this very day . He said I must go away Jhn 14:3 ASV - And if I go and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.    
Act 1:4 ASV - and, being assembled together with them, he charged them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, said he, ye heard from me:
Luk 24:49 ASV - And behold, I send forth the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city, until ye be clothed with power from on high.         My friend this scripture never died or went away , the money changes will tell you that you have the perfect word now you do not need this any longer.     Rom 11:29 ASV - For the gifts and the calling of God are not repented of.
    Act 19:1 ASV - And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper country came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples: 
  Act 19:2 ASV - and he said unto them, Did ye receive the Holy Spirit when ye believed? And they said unto him, Nay, we did not so much as hear whether the Holy Spirit was given.
Act 19:3 ASV - And he said, Into what then were ye baptized? And they said, Into John's baptism.
Act 19:4 ASV - And Paul said, John baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people that they should believe on him that should come after him, that is, on Jesus.
Act 19:5 ASV - And when they heard this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
Act 19:6 ASV - And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
Act 19:7 ASV - And they were in all about twelve men.       These men believed in Christ Jesus as their savior .   What did Jesus tell Nicodemus  when he said you must be from God for no man can do these things .    Nicodemus believed but there was more ,  he needed to be born again .       But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on his name:     Who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.   Adam was cursed because of his disobedience he fail God in the garden .   And every one born after Adam was of his blood and from the will of his flesh born out of his will.  Adam was the progenitor of the flesh of man we are of his flesh .
Jesus is saying to Nicodemus  If any man cometh unto me, and hateth not his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.    Jesus is love and we must love one another , he is speaking of our carnal man and to lose our identity to this world . We must pick up our cross and follow Jesus he died a physical death on his cross for the sins of the world , and to have our sins remitted on the earth while we yet live is to lose our life for the sake of Christ .  Jesus said any man that will not take up his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.   Salvation is a life's journey my friend and Jesus told his disciples , And if I go and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.   And whither I go, ye know the way.    Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; how know we the way?   Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.   Gal 3 For ye are all sons of God, through faith, in Christ Jesus.    For ye are all sons of God, through faith, in Christ Jesus.  We walk this journey with his grace and mercy , from children in the beginning to Sons in the end .   Rom 12  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.      And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.   I asked the Lord one day as I read these verses , I said Lord how do I renew my mind how can my mind be renewed . He spoke to my spirit and said by my word , my word through obedience will transform my life .    So we see when Jesus said to eat his flesh and drink his blood his flesh is his word and his blood is his very nature .  So also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

Jhn 3:2 ASV - the same came unto him by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that thou doest, except God be with him.    But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on his name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.      Repentance is being sorry for your sins having a change of mind turning from your past life and following Jesus ,   John came to make the paths level and straight for Jesus to come into your heart .        For godly sorrow worketh repentance unto salvation, a repentance which bringeth no regret: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.    For Godly sorrow worketh repentance unto salvation a man cannot come unto Jesus and be saved with out repentance  ! .

Mar 11:22 ASV - And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
