Episode notes
Put On Specific Pieces Of God's Armor
- Focus on putting on specific pieces of God's armor: belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, shield of faith.
- The speaker announces he will unpack the breastplate and shield to help listeners apply them practically.
Devil Converts Guilt Into Shame
- The devil functions as accuser in Revelation, turning helpful guilt into immobilizing shame.
- Recognizing that distinction helps believers resist condemnation and maintain relationship with God.
Use Direction Toward God To Test Conviction
- Holy Spirit conviction draws you to God while the devil's condemnation drives you away.
- Use this test: if a voice pushes you away from God, it's not from God.
