Have You Put On Your Armor Today

I would like to explain to you how we as Christians should protect our families, our marriages, homes, and churches by putting on the whole armor of God in a practical way. If what I'm going to explain to you can keep you out of a divorce court and stop the anger, strife, and evil in your house and church, will you put on the whole armor of God in a real and practical way? Well, of course! Who wouldn't want to put on the armor of God, right? Well, it's no use having the armor in your house if you don't have a workable plan for putting it on and using it. That's obvious. So let's learn to do it in a practical way that you can perform every day. In this book, I intend to explain the practical application of the armor of God.

The Armor of God, more than merely a biblical description of the believer's inventory, is an action plan for putting it on and developing a personalized strategy to secure victory.

This book offers a critique of common spiritual warfare practices including binding Satan, renouncing curses, spiritual mapping and exorcisms. Using Scripture, and Scripture alone, Pastor Jim Osman shows that true spiritual warfare is not a battle over territory, but a battle for the truth. The book is divided into four sections: Establishing Biblical Principles, Exposing Unbiblical Practices, Explaining Biblical Perspectives and Examining a Biblical Passage. A biblical approach to spiritual warfare recognizes the Bible as the sole authority, rejects unbiblical and man-made methods, and rests in Christ and His finished work for victory. Many in the modern spiritual warfare movement teach a methodology of spiritual warfare that is more akin to something you would find in a Harry Potter novel (renouncing curses and using prayer mantras to seize territory) than anything described in Scripture. Many of these practices reflect a theology built on anecdotes, experience, and interviews with demons rather than a sound exegesis of Scripture. Footnoted quotations of authors like Mark Bubeck, Neil T. Anderson, and others are compared against Scripture to show that modern spiritual warfare "experts" have abandoned the authority of Scripture and opted for man-made methods to wage spiritual battle. The chapters include a study of the three enemies that every Christian faces: the world, the flesh, and the devil. Pastor Osman answers from Scripture the questions: Can a Christian be demon-possessed? Is Christ's authority ours? and, What about exorcisms? One chapter includes a helpful discussion of the link between spiritual warfare and a believer's sanctification. The foreword is written by international conference speaker Justin Peters (justinpeters.org). This book is being published as an e-book as a fundraiser to finish the new church building of Kootenai Community Church (www.kootenaichurch.org) of which Jim is one of the pastors. All the proceeds go the building fund for the completion of that project. You can see regular updates at http: //www.truthorterritory.com .

The letter to the Ephesian believers is largely misunderstood these days. While everyone loves Ephesians 2:8 and 9, few are aware of the far-reaching implications to be found in the context surrounding that pair of verses. Ephesians is about kingdoms, community, and warfare. It is about the culmination of the Messianic Kingdom and the blending of Jews and Gentiles into one new community, never before dreamed of by either. This little letter is almost a chapter-for-chapter exposition of Isaiah 55-59. The parallels are fascinating, and carry great significance when considering the meaning conveyed by Rabbi Sha'ul (AKA Paul the Apostle). Readers won't want to miss out on this study, with its insightful approach to the Scriptures! "EPHESIANS" can serve as an excellent tool for personal study, devotional reading, or group discussion. It contains well-researched material, but is written in a style that is easily accessible to all readers, young and old. Regardless of age or experience, this work will open the reader's eyes to new ideas that will make a tremendous impact on his or her life. Relevant and eye-opening, "EPHESIANS" is a must-read for everyone interested in the message of the Bible-Jews and Gentiles, Christians and Messianics, congregational leaders and "just plain members". At the core of this book lies a call for unity among followers of Messiah Yeshua, regardless of ethnic background. The author has been part of the Messianic Jewish community for over thirty years, and brings to the discussion a great deal of information relating to the Jewish background of Rabbi Paul. So, prepare to dig into Ephesians from a perspective you've probably never heard before!
