Built 👷‍♂️🧱

 Hebrews 6:1 (KJV) Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, 

The “foundation of repentance” has been laid.  

1 Corinthians 3:11 (KJV) For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

After the foundation is laid what comes next?

1 Corinthians 3:12 (KJV) Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;

It’s to be built upon. Back in Hebrews chapter 5 we read about milk and meat and the dangers of not building upon what we know to be true “For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.” The foundation is laid “Jesus Christ” Now built on that foundation. Remember not long ago we wrote of having a quiet time? That is building on the foundation “Jesus Christ” that’s learning more about the sin that so easily surrounds you, inclose you, presses in on you, perplexes you and entangles you. That quiet time is the place where you build on a strong relationship with “Jesus Christ” who becomes your strength, His word hidden in your heart becomes your weapon. 

2 Corinthians 10:4 (KJV) (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)  

That my friend, that is how one overcomes the strong holds in their life. Strongholds don’t just go away on their own. Enemies don’t just leave, they have to be beaten. Land mines are everywhere, rockets are coming in on a daily basis and from time to time you come face to face with your enemy itself. What do you have to combat this spiritual battle? A one hour Church service? If that’s it you my friend are in a great deal of trouble. Why? Because even with the best the battle rages and if all you have is a small amount of ammo; a one hour Church service, it’s soon gone. Then What? 

Identify the enemy! 

1 Peter 5:8 (KJV) Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

Identify the Armour!

Ephesians 6:13 (KJV) Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Ephesians 6:13 (KJV) Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth 

Identify the truth!

John 1:14 (KJV) And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

John 17:17 (KJV) Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

How much ammo do you have today? The enemy is coming. Will you have enough to stand?
