The planting of God is what makes you grow up. It’s what gets you the nutriments. It’s what gives you stability. It’s what gives you a substance and you get fruit! Some people have no fruit in their life because they never took time to get planted into a local church.

“Stand therefore (hold your ground) having tightened the belt of truth around your loins and having put on the breastplate of integrity and moral rectitude and right standing with God, and having your feet shod with the preparation (to face the enemy with a firm-footed stability, the promptness, and the readiness produced by the good news) of the Gospel of peace.”

I want you to know something. The shoes they wore had six-inch spikes on them. When they got into a war, what they did… It was only a certain kind of the soldiers. They had a certain kind of armor made out of leather and their shields were oiled and they had a clip and they locked them up and you couldn’t get through them. They took their feet and they wedged them in till they got them down in the ground. You could hit them and they’d just bend back and come right back up. You couldn’t move them. God says, “Always be unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord.” Some of you need to get your feet down and say, “Come on! Bring it on! I can’t be moved! No emotion! No feeling! No disappointment! No frustration! None of that junk moves me. I’m locked in!”

You better hear me! We’re in a battle. “Lift up over the covering shield of saving faith, upon which you can quench all the flaming missiles of the wicked one.” Does this sound like war to you? Let me jump over, because if you keep reading it… You’ve got to have that sword. It’s the Word of God. You’ve got to have all those pieces. I want to get you where you can hear me.

This is very important! As we identify the personality of these different spirits, the one I want to talk to you about, today, and where I’m going to finish, is that I’m going to talk to you about Absalom. I’ve talked to you about five major demonic spirits that are loosed on the earth. A lot of churches, today, refuse to talk about these spiritual things. They won’t talk about Hell. They treat it like it’s a fairy land. They won’t talk about these demons because they live with them. We’re more worried about offending the devil than we are offending God’s people or offending the Lord.
