Welcome to City Reach Cumberland's weekly podcast. We hope this message blesses you for more information about us You can check us out on the web at cityreachcomberland.com Well, we're gonna we're gonna continue. I don't know if this will be the last week or not two weeks ago I did a teaching on what we've been in a series called the helper Which is taken out of John 16 where Jesus says and I will pray the Father and he will send you another Comforter now some translations say comforter some translations say helper some say one who stands beside you It's an all-encompassing word got a little bit too much feedback here on the on the mic It's an all-encompassing word that means counselor comforter stand by helper Ador one who comes to your assistance one who stands beside you it means a lot of things and as Jesus is going through this last Nights before he goes to the cross he's talking about the coming Holy Spirit four different times He refers to the comforter the Holy Spirit is the comforter three those times He calls him the spirit of truth So you have this in John 16 versus or John 14 verses 16 through 17 and he says and I will pray the Father And he will give you another helper that he may abide with you forever the spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive because it neither Sees him or knows him, but you know him for he dwells with you and will be in you and we've been over this verse So many times, but I've just really spent a lot of time meditating on these verses lately and I just just got He'd show me different things So two weeks ago We looked at that the Holy Spirit from John chapter 16 verse 13 says the Holy Spirit or the Spirit of truth will guide you into all truth That he doesn't guide you just into some truth He doesn't guide you into partial truth. He guides you into all truth And if you remember that when the Holy Spirit comes Jesus says I will send another comforter the word another it means just like me It means a duplicate a replica Jesus literally could be saying I'm gonna send you my twin brother So that everything that Jesus is everything that Jesus was the Holy Spirit is gonna come and represent that perfectly So we know that Jesus one of the things Jesus said he said earlier John 14 He said I am the way the truth and the life so we know that Jesus is truth We know that God the Father is truth and we know that the word is truth when Jesus is praying to the Father in John 17 verse 17 He says Father Sanctify them by your truth, which means the Father's truth Sanctify them set them apart make them holy by your truth and then he says your word is truth So that God's word is truth the Father's truth Jesus is truth and now we have the Holy Spirit coming who is the Spirit of truth John 15 26 says that the Spirit of truth Will testify of Jesus so everything the Spirit is doing is pointing us to Jesus everything that Jesus did everything that he was All that the truth that he was the Holy Spirit points to that and testifies and bears witness of that So something about truth is truth doesn't change Right when something is a truth.
It's eternal. He says I'm sending the Spirit of truth who will abide with you Forever he's gonna be in you you're gonna have truth in you that never changes and And so a lot of times we think see things in the world and we think their facts or we think their truth But then they change See there's some things about God God says if I know that God's truth and I know that God's word is truth I know that Jesus is truth. That should mean they never change God says in Malachi three six. He says I am the Lord your God.
I change not We know that Jesus says in Hebrew chapter 13 verse 80 verse 80 says Jesus Christ the same Actually Jesus says right here Jesus Christ the same yesterday Today and forever and we know that God's word never changes Psalm 119 verse 89 says forever hello forever. Oh Lord your word is settled in heaven now I do hear people sometimes they'll say if you said this for please don't let me offend you because I used to say this They'll say God said it. I believe it and that settles it see God said that before Me believing it doesn't settle it see God's word says forever. Oh Lord your word is settled in heaven It's settled whether I believe it or not the truth is the truth I don't have to believe it in order to settle it's settled so that when God's word says something when Jesus said something when God Says something and when the Holy Spirit bears witness of it I can have confidence in it because it doesn't vacillate.
It's not yesterday. No tomorrow. Maybe maybe next week It's yes in a man, right? So all the promises of God are yes and amen So when the Holy Spirit start convincing you of something he starts teaching you something he starts leading you you can trust him Because he doesn't change because Jesus doesn't change because God's word doesn't change and because God does not change See too often we know we have we have trouble trusting people we have trouble trusting people because they let us down Because they lie to us Right because we sometimes we don't want the truth, right?
If I asked you to Well, that was the thousand dollar iPad all right like I said that was prophecy earlier. I need a thousand dollar iPad I'm just kidding. We're all good. That's still had the no one on it.
All right. I got room to move here, right? Where was I? So too often sometimes we Don't want to deal with the truth Sometimes we avoid the truth.
We know the truth, but we don't want to receive the truth Probably if I had you get out your driver's license right now and I put a scale up here. I could prove that to you My wife goes a She live in a lie every day, right? Well, that's what I waited when I was 22. Well, baby you ain't 22 anymore Now in all fairness She would say to me Fred your license says you're six feet, but he ain't six feet My wife says that I'm five foot eleven and three quarters But I say hey, you got to use all you got so if you need to hair to get that six feet and as I get older and continue to go down My hair is gonna go higher so I can maintain the truth of six feet But sometimes we don't want to deal with the truth See if you look up the definition of the word truth in the mirror This was a Cambridge dictionary It says the quality of being true and if you look up the Greek word that means truth or in the Bible That's the same definition the quality or nature of being true But I want you to notice the digression here as as definitions enter the English language look look out Go so the second thing says the actual fact or facts about a matter Have you ever heard a fact and then a week later that fact changes?
Right so then if it changed and truth doesn't change then it really wasn't the truth or More yet It says a belief or principle that's thought to be true by most people So there's things today that are culturally acceptable or maybe the majority believes it But just because it's the majority just because it's acceptable That changes every year there's things acceptable today that weren't acceptable ten years ago 20 years ago 100 years ago That doesn't make them truth. It just makes them acceptable to the majority See God's word truth doesn't change you have to establish something that's a standard in your life So too many people say well truth is whatever you think it is or it's whatever you feel it is or whatever right for you It's subjective. It's not all Facts all beliefs all principles must be subjected to the standard of God's word because it doesn't change It's always true So a lot of times you know and I think I talked two weeks ago But the difference between facts and the truth so you might have a doctor's report Let's say you go get an x-ray and you get an x-ray and the doctor says you have a mass You have a growth whatever it is you have a broken bone doesn't matter what it is. That is a fact That's a fact you have an x-ray to prove it.
I go to God's word first Peter 2 24 and it says by his stripes I was healed so now I have a fact that says I have a growth I have a truth that says I was healed 2000 years ago And if I was healed I am healed Which one do I believe go to next slide? This is a good point because some people fear facing the facts see some people say I don't have a tumor Well, I don't have a cold. I don't have covid. I don't have cancer.
Well, yeah, you do you do it's a fact Oh, don't say it don't say cancer don't take covid. You might get it if you say it come on Really? Maybe the mask is to keep your mouth shut. I don't know see faith faith is not denying the facts It's a fact Faith does not deny the reality of the fact faith denies the fact from having influence in my life See I'm gonna allow God's word the truth, which is a superior reality to carry the weight of what's true in my life I'm not denying I have an issue.
I got an issue, but I'm gonna renew my mind I'm gonna put my faith in what the superior reality is the superiority says I've been delivered the spirituality is I've been forgiven The spirituality is I've been healed not what I see not what I feel not what I experience not what my mother told me My mother-in-law or my wife Doesn't matter what God's word said. That's what matters Alright, next slide. So how do I know how do I know what truth is? So here's a good verse in 1 John chapter 2 same writer of the book John says the anointing now some translations do a difference to Translation instead of anointing it'll say holy spirit the anointing which you've received from him abides where?
Where does the anointing abide in me say the anointing abides in me in me and you do not need that anyone teach you But the same anointing teaches you concerning all things and is True some translations say and is truth and is no lie You have the capacity to know all truth because all truth resides in you if you made Jesus Lord your life If the Holy Spirit lives in you which happens the day you get saved You have truth residing in you do you listen to it? Do you listen to it? You let him leave you do let him teach you do you let him guide you see It's super important that we learn to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit that's in us Because there's another voice in the world if all truth is in the Holy Spirit We have another one out there trying to buy for our attention to the devil and he doesn't have just a little bit of truth next slide He got no truth See the Holy Spirit you can trust him because all truth is in him Now Jesus is talking to you says you're of your father The desires of your father you want to do he was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth because there is No truth in him None no truth nothing the enemy will ever tell you is true see Once he was rendered powerless at the cross. He has no authority over you He has no power over you the only the authority the only authority he has in your life is what you give him See people have no power all they can do is lie That's all he can do because if he can get he can lie to you and convince you other than the truth and deceive you He can get you first Peter 5 7 says that the devil like a roaring lion walks about seeking Whom he may devour he doesn't have the ability to devour anybody that he wants to he's got to find somebody that will Partner up with the lie that he's telling because if he can get you to embrace a lie he can steal he can kill and he can destroy you But he's got to do it through deception because his power is gone.
I like what the passion translation says Let's look at this next slide Just a part of it says he's full of nothing but lies Lying is his native tongue lying is his native tongue when he speaks that's all he comes out He doesn't he wouldn't know the truth of it hit him in the head. He just talks and lies come out He's a master of deception and the father of lives So you got to have a choice am I gonna listen to the spirit of truth? I'm gonna listen to the father of lives. So if he's the master of deception.
He's very cunning very sneaky He does things with trickery. You know sometimes you might think well, I might need to be afraid of him I like there's a thing you don't have to be scared of the devil you do not need to be scared of him You have authority over him. You have the name of Jesus. You have the blood of Jesus.
You have the power of the Holy Spirit He's powerless. You don't need to be scared of the enemy, but you need to be prepared not scared prepare There's a tax on look at today, but not maybe the way that we normally would look at it next slide So I'm gonna look here at Ephesians or look at the I want to talk for a minute We're gonna look at the the armor of God I'm not gonna go through each piece in the way that maybe you've thought about it before but a little bit different So let me just say a couple things here When we read this a lot of times people read this passage Ephesians chapter 6 and verses 10 through 18 And you read only three verse 17 and then you find six pieces of armor Of six is the number of man. There's really seven and you have to include verse 18 I just want to point that out to you seven is a perfect number the God number and There's a very very powerful weapon that's listed seventh a lot of people don't realize it's part of the armor God so I've numbered them as we go through here I've got the new living translation up here and I've numbered them so if you see numbers throughout there you'll understand why so I also want to point out that I don't think it's a coincidence It's not because God doesn't work on coincidences that he lists what he lists first I want you to think about that. Why did God list first what he listed first because God's a God of order not a God of chaos He's not a God of confusion.
He puts things in a certain order for a reason All right, so Paul says to the Ephesians chapter 6 verse 10 He says the final word be strong in the Lord and in the power and his mighty power put on all of God's armor So that you will be able to everybody say stand firm Stand firm and talk in a minute what that means you put on all of the armor So you're able to stand firm against what the strategies of the devil network strategies means cunning devices trickery's Deceptions he schemes all the time. So he's scheming. He's not what you know knows is the devil is not equal to God He's not he's not God's opposite. He's not the antithesis of God.
He was a created being he's not he's not equal to God He's not omnipresent. He's not everywhere at any time like God is he's not omnipotent. He's not all powerful He's not even omniscient. He doesn't know everything So you've already got an advantage because you've got the one that is omnipotent that is omniscient that is omnipresent right here You're the only winning team But you got to put on the arm So he says I want you to put on the armor so that you can stand firm against the strategies of the devil We're not fighting against flesh and blood enemies But against rulers and authorities of the unseen world against mighty powers in the dark world and against evil spirits and heavily places Okay, next time there's a lot in here We can spend a lot of time on him skipping over to stand firm So the reason I'm putting this on is so I can stand firm against what he's trying to do Stand firm means to be immovable think of a foundation So a building when it's built if it has no foundation It's gonna sink it's gonna crack.
It's actually gonna fall down This is the armor is what gives you a solid foundation a solid footing when you're taking on the enemy to continue to be safe and sound to stand Unhorned to stand ready or prepared to be of a steadfast mind one who does not hesitate and one who does not waver So if the enemy's coming at me and I'm not ready. Okay, let's see if he's coming at me with a left Do I leave with the left or do I throw right? I put my shield up? Do I step forward?
I don't know what to do So putting on the armor of God and specifically the whole armor of God will help you to have a firm foundation It'll help you to stay in a winning position It's gonna help you to know what to do when to do it what to say where to say how to say Oh, it's gonna let you know what to do You're not gonna be wondering so you can't get into a battle and in the middle of battle wonder what to do In the battle is not when you practice So you don't see football teams going on the field and practicing against their opponent You don't see boxers getting in the ring and just sitting around for three months and then going to the title fight So I think I'll I'll get a little box in tonight against my opponent I think it was Joe Frazier. There was a boxer that said this he said champions aren't made in the ring or merely recognized there And if you cheat in the early hours of the morning, it'll be found out under the lights at night See if you if you don't practice if you don't prepare and you're now that you're in a battle That's not the time to practice. You've got to be in the words. You've got to be in the spirits You've got to be renewing your mind.
You've got to be talking to the Holy Spirit talking to Jesus spending time in his presence So that when it happens, you're ready Because he's looking he's lurking he's scheming. That's not the time to say oh my goodness. Oh, the devil. Okay, Lord Whoo, what I do and he went out and hung himself, right?
That's not the time to flip it through your Bible. Oh I don't know what to do Genesis 20 20 And a lot got drunk and slept with his daughter No, you don't pull verses out of the Bible when you're in a you're in a pissy now I'm not saying God can't use it. He does I've heard testimony of it. Don't rely on that strategy All right, next slide getting off topic.
All right, here we go Therefore now what's that tell you what's looking number one? Therefore put on every piece of God's armor So you'll be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil Which tells me that there will be a time when this will happen So he says put it on so that you will be able to resist He doesn't say put it on when the evil day comes. He says put it on so when the day comes now you're able to stand This is something you do in advance. This is something you do in preparation for the battle then after the battle You'll still be standing firm stand your ground putting on number one what the belt say it the belt of truth and The body of armor of God's righteousness for shoes But on the piece that comes from the good news so that you'll be able to be fully prepared in addition to all of these hold up Next slide the shield of faith to stop the fiery errors of the devil put on number five salvation Is your helmet take the sword of the spirit number six?
Which is the word of God praying the spirit at all times and on every occasion number seven praying in the spirit big weapon? All right, let's go back to the previous slide. I want to go to number one the belt truth So at the time this was written the belt If you have it if you have maybe a King James translation They'll say have your loins girded about with the belt truth and we don't really speak like or have your loins girded about truth We don't really talk like that today But if you read Matthew Henry's commentary on this passage Matthew Henry says and he was a Really a great the illusion he said that the the belt At that time or what the soldier girded himself around the waist with is the very thing that secured all the other pieces of armor It's what held all the other armor together and on the belt would also be the scabbard what we would call the sheath and without the belt There's nowhere to put the sword There was also little daggers that they would keep in that belt See you talk about a belt today and I'm not gonna pull with Jerry Falwell Jr. Here if you were if you watch Instagram lately But belts today, I'm about where right?
I'm not gonna address. I know I just did that I was gonna take my belt off but I've got my pack on the back It's about sort that comment You talk to somebody about wearing a belt today to look at you like you got three heads I say I know what sagging is but I don't know what about is you guys know what sagging is Walking around with your pants down halfway down your butt cheek showing off five inches of through the loom Calvin Clines pains Brown streaks, yeah, that's why I wear a belt. Yeah, let me just tell you nobody cares that you got through the loom Your hands are cack nobody cares jockey get them out of here See think about this if I got my pants hanging down around my waist down around my rear end and I go to get in a fight Guess what I got to do with one hand. I got to take one hand just to hold my pants up.
I only got one hand left Forget them underwear get your belt on Get your belt on. I don't need to see them boxers. You got to be prepared You don't want the enemy coming up and you got to use one hand to run and you can jive and punch you need both You need both hands He says I want you to put a belt of truth around your waist Truth is what holds everything else together Truth is our standard truth is secure truth doesn't change. I want to go to the next slide I want you to see this actually to slide next one It's not a coincidence God chose to mention the battle truth first because without truth in your life the other pieces of armor will not be secure Without truth in your life the other pieces of armor will not be secure.
I want to show you this next slide a little graph Where you can see that if not a read to you think about this So on the left I've got the belt of truth that secures the other piece of armor on the right the lies of the enemy Right. He's a deceiver. He's strategizing. So I apologize I put down the King James version on the left so they don't really look like they're doing the new living But the first one the breastplate of righteousness The enemy comes along and says you're such a hypocrite.
How do you even call yourself a Christian? You're a sinner That's what he wants to tell you He's the accuser of the brethren. He's the one that condemns See the Holy Spirit's the one that convicts and convinces you of your righteousness If I don't know the truth that says that Jesus became sin for me so that I could become the righteousness of God in him That it doesn't have anything to do with what I did and doing or will do I am righteous because I put my faith in Jesus not about what I did It's about what he did devil get out of here the gospel of peace So a lot of times when people say you know Go back to Romans 10 and I get it because Romans 10 is about somebody taking the gospel It says how beautiful or the feet of those who take the gospel gospel of peace I'm talking about sharing the gospel, but this is about doing battle with the devil So I think it's a little different. He says God knows what you did.
He's angry at you God's not mad at you Isaiah said that the covenant of peace there will be no end God said that he all said that God was in Christ Jesus Reconciling the world unto himself That God died for you that God loved you when you were a sinner God's not mad at you God's not even in a bad mood about you It's peace when the angel came to the shepherds. He said on earth peace goodwill toward man Jesus was bringing peace from God to man Don't buy that lie the shield of faith. You're gonna fail. You're gonna die.
You're gonna go broke He might as well throw in the towel Devil I'm an overcomer. Maybe you didn't read the bible, but I'm an overcomer God's word says I'm overcomer First John five says that whoever is born of God overcomes the world And this is the victory that overcomes the world even my faith Get out of here The helmet of salvation Huh, you're lucky to be forgiven a sin forget about getting healed and delivered You don't deserve any more than what you already got Devil I know that when Jesus died salvation isn't just about the forgiveness of sins But it's all encompassing he died for my healing he died for my deliverance He died for my restoration salvation means healing deliverance forgiveness all of it And he wants it for me The sword of the spirit which is also what the word of God How about when he came to eve? Did God really say Did God really say that? Well You know there's lots of errors in the bible because all the years of translations how do we even know if it's true Does God really say that Well, God really sent somebody to hell won't everybody go to heaven See the devil will even use scripture What about when he tempted Jesus?
Said the angels will catch you so you won't dash your foot against the stone See you got to be really careful if you don't understand scripture in the context of scripture people Now remember it's the devil but he usually works through people people can take scripture to make it untrue That's what the devil does See I had to really rebuke my wife about a week ago two weeks ago Christen got some poison on her back And so you know like a good husband I would take a pad and I put some calamon on there and after about a week The poison's still there and we prayed for it somewhere in bed one night and she goes Oh, baby would you scratch my back? I was like, thank you for that poison crazy. She goes. Oh, come on.
Just rub rub that spot I'm like I'm not touching that poison. I'm going to bed She goes, well, baby. You know what the bible said the two shall be one flesh So technically my poison's your poison She says, you know what the apostle paul says it says we're all members one of another when one one member suffers We all suffer Now, how can you refuse God's word? I'm like because I don't want poison He goes, oh come on scratch me back.
You know with the two or one. I was like, oh, I finally gave in And guess what I woke up well my next morning on my hand poison That'd just be funny But the devil will use scripture in the wrong context and it becomes untrue You got to watch Prayer in the spirit If you've been not only saved the Holy Spirit lives in you, but you've been filled and baptized in the Spirit You have the ability to pray in the Spirit. It's a phenomenal weapon against the enemy When you start operating in that I can tell you from personal experience the devil will be like he big faker You're making those words up. You don't even know how to speak that language That's a lie It's a lie.
He wants he knows how powerful it is and he'll try to tell you you're making it up You're faking it. It's just a bunch of gibberish And you can send that one packing too So do you see how knowing the truth had all these other things hang on the truth? Because if I don't know the truth about each piece Delighs going to seem reasonable Next slide Let's do this in here truth is synonymous with victory See truth brings about victory and I want to show you two quick passage I don't want to teach on this because there's a lot here too But there's a verse in Matthew chapter 12 20 talking about Jesus And Matthew is recounting a story and you have to read all things But says a bruise read he will not break and a smoking flax he will not quench till he sends forth justice to victory Now, that's how the holy spirit translated that verse in the new testament But when Isaiah wrote it in Isaiah 42 three it says a bruise read he will not break a smoking flax I'm not quench he will bring forth truth justice for truth The point is is that when the holy spirit interpreted what Isaiah wrote that says he'll bring forth justice for truth He translates truth as victory See when you get the truth about each of the pieces of armor when you get the truth of the holy spirit leading you You're going to win You're going to win You're going to win over every circumstance in life over everything that enemy sends at you You're a winner. He's already defeated And if you allow the holy spirit to start leading you he's going to lead you into truth Which leads to victory But you got to let him lead you got to let him teach you got to be willing to receive it Next slide corona cough let the water went down the wrong pipe cough Sorry The more truth That you receive The more victory that will manifest in your life The opposite is true too The more deception that you embrace the more defeat that will manifest in your life Think of it like this is you've got truth on one side And you've got deception on the other You're if you're pursuing and embracing and receiving truth You're automatically rejecting a lie If you can't walk east and west at the same time If i'm embracing a lie What am I rejecting the truth the more lies i embrace the more deception i embrace the more defeat the more failure Will manifest in my life as i embrace the truth as i receive the truth as i put my faith in the truth Victory be the result All right, i'm gonna close with this next slide.
Let's skip. Let's skip this go next slide So Remember the story when Jesus fed the 5000 So when that was over it says that Jesus puts his disciples in the boat and he says i want you to go to the other side And it says all night this great storm came up Obviously from the enemy because it was impeding them from doing what god had told them to do So much so that they were still struggling against the waves it was it was the fourth watch of the night which is around three o'clock in the morning And so here they are all night struggling against the waves that it's the wind the waves beating against the boat They've only made it about halfway across the sea a Galilee which about a few miles in And jesus is up on the mountain praying and he sees them and he goes down and says he's walking on the water And in the midst of this storm they look out and they see jesus but they think it's a ghost or a spirit Kind of funny thing was it was the holy spirit, but they think it's like a bad ghost And it says they're instantly afraid They think it's a ghost and they're afraid and jesus says hey hey guys fellas. It's me. It's me jesus It's okay and he's standing on the water And peter says lord if it be you bid me to walk to you on the water And what's jesus say?
Come What's peter looking for peter's looking for truth Peter's looking for truth Jesus if it's you bid me to walk to you on the water And when jesus says come what's he saying? It's me Says peter answers says lord's view commanding to come to you on the water So he said come And when peter had come down out of the boat he walked on the water to go to jesus Now a lot of times we read this and I saw this new this week Says but when he saw It doesn't say when he saw the wind actually some translations say that I I think this gives the antenna It says but when he saw that the wind was boisterous So it's not like he didn't see the wind yes, I get people say well you're looking at jesus He took his eyes off jesus I get all that But in the midst of this these are this is wind and waves that they've been dealing with for six hours So it's not like he wasn't seeing the waves in the wind the whole time Even when jesus was there even when jesus had come he's still seeing the wind and waves But it says when he saw that the wind was boisterous that word actually means mighty er or strong er It's used when john the baptist says there is one coming who is mightier Than I Think about what just happened here six hours. Whatever it is. He's seeing the wind.
He's seeing the waves He says he's looking for truth. He says god jesus if it's you bid me to come on the water and jesus says come And he stood on the water and he walked on the water Until he saw that the wind was mightier stronger More boisterous than what? than the word Seeing the wind and waves the whole time But when he looked and elevated the facts of the situation above the truth of the word He sunk Here's what i'll tell you today last live Just one word of truth Carries in it the power and potential to walk on water One word of truth But you got to step into it You got to receive it You got to believe what the holy spirit's telling you See one word is so pregnant That one word of truth can supersede 4,000 years of history 4,000 years nobody did that But one word of truth was a higher reality than the truth that you can't walk on water I think about when I think about this and I hear about one word. Do you remember when the angel came to mary Luke chapter one And he says the holy she said you're gonna have a you're gonna conceive a child In your womb and she says How's that gonna happen because I don't I don't know man I've known a man.
I've had intercourse. How's it gonna happen? He says the the holy spirit will come upon you and the power of the Almighty will overshadow you And he said oh yeah by the way your cousin Elizabeth is six months pregnant who was also called barren And he says with God nothing shall be Impossible the word nothing is three Greek words that are uppos rema which means no things spoken No things spoken is impossible. No spoken word of God is without power in itself to accomplish the thing it commands What mary say be it unto me according to your rema word You don't need a 10-minute prophecy They're great.
I've had them. You just need a word from God Peter walked on water with one word Come But you got to be willing to listen To the truth and that truth is in you Let's stand and pray for your day. We're gonna go I'm not gonna have a typical order call today But if you're here today and don't know Jesus All you need to say is Jesus.
