The Armour of God is described in Ephesians 6:14-17. The GOSPEL SHOES: "having shod your feet with the (shoes of) preparation (readiness) of the Gospel of Peace (another aspect of God's Word)” (v15). To be ready for battle, you need the right shoes to give you a firm footing, so you can stand your ground on God's Word and the completed victory of Christ. These are the shoes of the Gospel, which declares His finished work over sin and every enemy, thereby bringing us into peace with God (peace comes after victory). We put on the Shoes by knowing and embracing the Good News that He has won the victory and we stand firm in that truth, ready for action. We standing in His victory, rather than trying to get the victory. Then v16 says: “above (covering) all, taking (up) the SHIELD of (the) FAITH, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts (arrows) of the wicked one (God's Word is powerful).” The Shield that protects us is not our faith, but God's Word (the Faith), we need to trust in God's Word rather than our faith, but it is by faith that we take up the Shield and put it in front of us. The Word must not just wrapped around our heart, but lifted up in front of us, where it can cover every area of our life, by confessing His Word and thanking God for His promises and who He is to us (Heb 13:5-6). The roman shield was like a door covering the whole body, made of 6 layers of animal hide, anointed with oil (the Spirit) and drenched with water (Eph 5:26), able to protect even against fiery arrows filled with combustible liquid designed to explode on impact. Likewise, the anointed Word of God is empowered to protect us, even against the worst weapons of the enemy. These fiery arrows are words (thoughts) set on fire by hell (Jam 3:6), with spiritual power to penetrate our soul and set it on fire (with bitterness, anger, fear, discouragement etc) if our Shield is not up. But if we activate our Shield, by declaring: "The Lord is my Strength, Stronghold, Light, Peace, Provider Shield, Victory..." then the fiery darts will not be able to penetrate our heart and mind and emotions. Derek concludes by giving a classic example of how to put up the Shield of Faith as demonstrated by Paul in Romans 8:28-39, where he says we must not be passive in the face of the things (attacks) of life, but we must declare God's truths (Christ's love for us and His finished work) in response to these things. he asks: "what shall we say to these things?" (v31), and then tells us what we should say (v31-39). In this way, we activate our Shield of God's Word, which quench the evil thoughts (words), sent from the enemy to hurt and destroy us.

In this episode, Pastor Dom continues to explore the biblical meaning of fearing God. Psalm 33:88 Let all the earth fear the Lord; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.Isaiah 66:22 ….“I will bless those who have humble and contrite hearts, who tremble at my word.Isaiah 66:55 Hear the word of the Lord, You who tremble at His word:1 Corinthians 6:1919 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?Mark 4:1919 and the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.1 Peter 5:77 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.Luke 9:5757 Now it happened as they journeyed on the road, that someone said to Him, “Lord, I will follow You wherever You go.”Luke 9:59-6159 Then He said to another, “Follow Me.” But he said, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.” 60 Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and preach the kingdom of God.” 61 And another also said, “Lord, I will follow You, but let me first go and bid them farewell who are at my house.”John 14:1515 “If you love Me, keep My commandments.Romans 8:3131 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?1 John 4:88 …for God is love.Romans 8:3535 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?Psalm 36:77 How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!…Romans 5:88 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.1 John 4:1010 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.Romans 8:18 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus,…Psalm 34:88 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!John 3:16-1716 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

Harvest Bible Fellowship's weekly Message.
Our guest speakers from Motion College in Kamloops, deliver a beautiful message about "Faith that can act as the foundation for your life" and "Faith in Adversity." This message will help build and strengthen your faith in Jesus Christ.
How should we respond to all the things that happen to us in life, especially the bad things. One of the great promises of God is that: "God all things work together for good to those who are loving God, the called according to His purpose" (Romans 8:28). So as long as we keep loving God through the trial, we can thank God that He will work all things (including evil things) together for our ultimate good, the fulfilment of His wonderful eternal plan and purpose for us, which is described in Romans 8:29-30. God does not cause evil things but He can work them all for our good, because on the Cross He paid the change any curse into blessing (Galatians 3:13-14). In view of this truth, that God is greater than all these things that we face in life, Paul asks how should we respond to these things, or more precisely: "What, then, shall we SAY to these THINGS?" (v31a). It is clear that we are not to be a passive doormat, when bad things happen. These things speak to us and try to create negative thoughts in us, which satan will amplify if we let him, saying things like: "you are a guilty failure, under condemnation, God does not love you anymore, you are separated from His love and He will not fulfil His promises to you. We are meant to actively respond by SPEAKING God's Word back to these THINGS (v31a). The famous climactic verses of Romans 8:31b-39 actually describe the things God wants us to proclaim in the face of all these things that come against us. For example, we should say: "God is for me, who can be against Me?" (v31b), "God gave Me His own Son, surely He will also freely give us all things" (v32), He will work all things together for my good" (v28), "Who shall bring a charge against me for I am God's elect. It is God who has justified me. There is no condemnation for me in Christ, for Christ has died for me and paid the penalty for my sins, and now represents me before God" (v1,33-34), "nothing shall separate me from the love of Christ?" (v35-36,38-39), for: "in all these things I am more than a conqueror through Christ, who loved me by dying for me on the Cross, and who loves me now and forever" (v37).

In today's sermon, we learn that we are suppose to life a victorious life. But a lot of times we are still holding onto things that are preventing us from getting freedom.

Family Faith Friendship Series - Part 3
We are excited to welcome Justus Edwards to Cornerstone Church this Sunday. A little over two years ago, Justus, a football player with the Berry College Vikings walked back onto the field a year after he suffered a devastating spinal cord injury during a game. Justus continues to improve physically as he works toward fulfilling God's plan for his life. We look forward to hearing his story of how faith in God, along with transforming his soul (mind, will, and emotions), turns a seemingly impossible situation into reality.
When God is for you, no one, not even you can be against you! A daily devotional by Vince Miller.
Today, Pastor Marc Sharp continues with part two of the new series looking at 15 Psalms (Psalm 120-134) designated as “Songs of Ascents”. The Psalms are God’s guidebook for right worship in the church. In the Old Covenant, Psalms 120-134 were hymns sung to remind actual pilgrims of the Lord’s beauty and faithfulness as they travelled to Jerusalem to worship and sacrifice. Our Journey is real, yet understood spiritually. We are sojourners, traveling to a place far away with the sole purpose of meeting with and seeing God. Our ultimate destination is heaven, and subsequently to reign with Christ. This is the hope of all believers. These Psalms give us guidance for this journey.

As the believers' eyes are opened to spiritual things, we begin to see the Word of God coming to pass in our generation. It is an hour when Jesus is standing at the door of our heart, saying that He desires to "sup" with us! Rev. 3:20 The word "sup" is more than just sipping coffee with us, it means He desires to sit down with us, commune with us. But the final thought in the message today is "Greater is He that is in us then he that is in the world."
