Ekklesia, God’s Dwelling Place

I get so tired of watching people that just run around all the time and they’re complaining about how tired they are. If you get a hold of the Holy Ghost and you get a hold of the power of God, and you begin to pray in tongues and speak to the heavenly things that aren’t, as though they are, you’ll find yourself getting renewed and strength comes to you. You’ll find yourself full of joy and not always sad and depressed and negatively thinking. You’ll find that there’s life! That’s why I can go into a hardware store and turn the hardware store around! That’s why I can get on an airplane and have the entire airplane come to get prayer.

Ekklesia is not this thing that operates in here. It is this thing that you get when you come in here, so that when you go out of here… greater is He that is in you than he that’s in the world. You become a powerhouse!

Verse 10 and 11 says to “draw your strength from Him. Put on God’s whole armor, the armor of a heavy armed soldier which God supplies.” What were you buying here this morning when you gave your offering? You were buying weapons! You were purchasing spiritual weapons. The weapons of our warfare are not carnal! You didn’t buy a bazooka. You didn’t buy an AK47. What you were buying was a spiritual download of God in grace. You were exchanging your hard work, giving, so that you would get an increase of some spiritual fortitude and weapon.

It says to put on the whole armor. Put it all on. Some of you go to church about once a month and you come in and only have one piece on, because you wear the same piece all the time. You come in with your helmet on all the time. But, you’ve got no shield. You’ve got no breastplate. You never got a sword. And, you’ve got no shoes on, so you’ve got no peace. You come in here half fortified and we have to spend most of the time pulling out arrows and getting you healed because the enemy has beat the Hell out of you all week long.
