Eph-80-81 - Lesson 37 Pt 4 (VPW) - Athletes of The Spirit
Very different today. We' re not employed of God to kill the enemy. Romans 13:12 says: The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Our armour is an armour of light, kids. The Bible says God is light. So whenever we put on God in the renewed mind, we are light. And that' s the armour. We' re the light of the Lord. The spirit in us makes us light. This is our armour.

Those are all of them in the Word. The battlefield today, Corps, is nothing else but your mind. That's the battlefield. It' s not a geographical area unless you got a small brain and you want to put that in a geography department. Now, be renewed in the spirit or the life of your mind. You put on the new man in the mind. And the new man is God' s gift, it' s Christ in you the hope of glory. God is light, who is Christ in you, God in Christ in you. So you put on the new man which is the armour or the clothing with the light. So you put on everything. Operate the nine manifestations, produce the nine fruit of the spirit that ye may b

Also, as we cover Ephesians 4:28 tonight, I had all the information in front of me from another article that Walter Cummins has in the... has had in the Magazine. The first article on Ephesians 4:25 is entitled "The Spoken Word." The one on Ephesians 4:28 is "Workers for God." Both of these pieces of work by Walter are absolutely superb. And I believe that they should appear and will appear in our research journal GMIR whenever we begin publishing that. {GMIR Aramaic word meaning ' to perfect, accomplish , mature, complete, arithmetically to be divisible without any remainder.} And I noticed again that some of the things
