Truth of the Spirit with Patti Brunner welcomes Ken Hunter for this episode of Praying the Scriptures as the series on Prayer-Reaching Out to God continues. Praying scripture is not new – it dates back to the early Church, and even back to the Jews. Scripture is sacred, significant. “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” Colossians 3:16.
Truth of the Spirit welcomes Ken Hunter as he completes part 2 of his talk “Winning the Battle” as we wrap up the series on the Armor of God with a closing by Lissa Applewhite.
Advance your spiritual journey. That which does not grow, stagnates. Lots of people complain, say “somebody should do something” – well, be part of it! Recognize the battles in our lives. Morals are not defined by us. They are inherent – but can fool ourselves. Luke 6:46 “Why do you call me Lord, Lord, but don’t do as I say?” We say “Lord AND Savior” and just focus on the Savior part. Is He your Lord or not? Live as we want the world to be, as we want eternity to be, as Christ instructed us to be. Trust in the Lord – stand on firm ground. Don’t believe the lies. Allow the Lord to fight for us. Realize our role; we are all in the fight for salvation – everyone, whether they think it or not, want it or not. Change the world by changing our country; change our country by changing your state. Change your town by changing your family. Change your family by allowing the Lord to change you.
Truth of the Spirit welcomes Ken Hunter as he discusses Winning the Battle as we wrap up the series on the Armor of God. This episode is the first part of his talk. We talk about Spiritual Warfare, but what really is the War? Simply: Good vs Evil, God’s plan vs Satan’s attempting thwarting of that plan. What’s at stake: Salvation & eternal life, uniting with God in Heaven or being isolated in the despair of Hell – it’s just that straightforward. Think of this: Jesus mentions hell and Satan more than any other part of Bible. THE GOOD NEWS is that we’ve won the war – Satan is defeated. The power is Good is vastly more powerful than that of Evil. By why then is there still a battle? Sin keeps us from our salvation – we choose or reject our participation in the victory. People say sin doesn’t impact the world, that’s just such a blatant lie. More of the dark victories are in the subtler aspects, hidden in the undercurrents.
