How to FORTIFY

 

Matthew 23:38

King James Version

38 Behold, 

your house is left unto you 

desolate.

How can we leave our souls unattended?

How can we be careless with it?

We need to repair.

To fortify.

To strengthen.

To secure.

How?

Through JESUS.

John 15:5

King James Version

5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: 

He that abideth in me, and I in him, 

the same bringeth forth much fruit:

 for without me ye can do nothing.

Through Scripture.

Ephesians 6:11-18

King James Version

11 Put on the whole armour of God, 

that ye may be able to stand 

against the wiles of the devil.

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, 

but against principalities, 

against powers, 

against the rulers of the darkness of this world, 

against spiritual wickedness in high places.

13 Wherefore take unto you 

the whole armour of God, 

that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, 

and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, 

having your loins girt about with truth, 

and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

15 And your feet shod 

with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, 

wherewith ye shall be able to quench 

all the fiery darts of the wicked.

17 And take the helmet of salvation, 

and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

18 Praying always with all prayer 

and supplication in the Spirit, 

and watching thereunto with all perseverance 

and supplication for all saints;

Through humility.

Mark 1:15

King James Version

15 And saying, 

The time is fulfilled, 

and the kingdom of God is at hand: 

repent ye, 

and believe the gospel.

Never again are we left open to the enemy of CHRIST.

Our forts are strong, spiritual, saved.

Now, we look to the significance of the inner courtyard.
