“Stand firm … having put on the breastplate of righteousness”. – Ephesians 6:14

old school Holiness y’all

you’re gonna have to make a decision to

live right

to choose to live holy

because you can be in your War Room

praying until you’re blue in the face

but if you come out of that prayer

closet and you live in a raggedy Wayward

lifestyle that is out of alignment with

the truth of God

then your prayers will have been wasted

you gotta be holy

if I were your enemy more than anything

else I would want you going into battle

without a breastplate

[Applause]

because if a Roman soldier had Brawn and

had muscle if a Roman soldier had

previous Victory so he had great

experience in battle if the Roman

soldier had great knowledge and and knew

the formations for the Battle of Rey but

he went into battle with all of that

stuff

but without a breastplate

one shock to the heart would take him

out

so if I were your enemy I would

constantly be dangling the right carrots

to try to get you to live without a

breastplate on if I were your enemy I

would be dangling the carrot not the one

that would bother her or bother him it

ain’t they carrot I would dangle the one

that I have studied and I have seen true

that will Allure you away from walking

and Holiness have you ever noticed that

that carrot is always dangled when you

are most vulnerable

when you’re most lonely when you feel

most isolated when you’re most hungry

when you’re most frustrated when you’re

most in a season of longing yo that’s

because it’s not coincidence it’s a

scheme

the enemy wants us bound living in every

kind of wayward lifestyle and habit he

wants us addicted he wants us walking in

sin and walking in Rebellion he don’t

mind if you’re a church goer he don’t

mind if you’re a thong singer he doesn’t

mind if you’re a hand waiver he doesn’t

mind if you come to the conference once

a year what he doesn’t want is you

walking in Holiness on Monday and on a

regular Tuesday and in your decision

making on Wednesday and then on Thursday

and Friday and Saturday he don’t want

you choosing Holiness because Holiness

means you have brought him out from a

full frontal attack on your life

oh I’m telling you to be holy I’m

telling you to lay aside every weight

and every sin which so easily entangles

you

there’s a race to be run you’re running

a race we have a Finish Line to cross

aren’t you tired of carrying all that

baggage

[Applause]
