DO YOU KNOW THE WORD?
by Lewis E. Thomas DO YOU KNOW THE WORD?
"THE WORD" I am referring to is the Holy Bible, that has the power to transform a sinner into a vessel "BRAND-NEW"!
Multitudes around the world would answer my question with: "Not me! I don't have a clue!
Sad to say, many Christians in our Churches today are in the "SAME BOAT"!
Most professing Christians don't even know what Jesus meant when He referred to the "SHEEP" and the "GOATS"!
Many go to Church as a weekly religious ritual that makes them feel saved and born again!
When in reality many are "NEITHER" because they continue to "LIVE IN WILFUL SIN"!
Knowing "THE WORD" will keep us from blindly following a lying minister like JIM JONES who got 900+ members of his Church to commit "MASS SUICIDE"!
Knowing "THE WORD" will keep us from taking a "GREAT FALL" brought about by the "Sin of Pride"!
Knowing "THE WORD" is "CRUCIAL" to doing battle within the "SPIRITUAL REALM"!
Jesus "SPOKE THE WORD" to defeat Satan "EVERY TIME" ole Satan "TEMPTED HIM"!
A Christian who doesn't know "THE WORD" is like a "NAKED SOLDIER" who has no "ARMOR," no WEAPON, and no "SHIELD"!
All that kind of Christian can do when they face ole Satan is to "SURRENDER and KNEEL"!
Knowing "THE WORD" is the only way to win the many "BATTLES" we "MUST WIN" to get to that Heavenly Kingdom above!
Knowing "THE WORD" shows God that He truly has our "TOTAL DEVOTION" and "ALL" of our LOVE!
Do you know the word...?

Ephesians 6:10-17
New Living Translation
The Whole Armor of God10 A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. 12 For we[a] are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. 14 Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. 15 For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared.[b] 16 In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil.[c] 17 Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. ...
