IN THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE KING

A Study in 2nd and 3rd John
In the epistles of John we see a common theme of a fellowship shared by believers and the Lord. This fellowship is forged in conflict, against dark and sinister forces, as faith is tested and refined. The touchstone of the fellowship is found in the truth, and that truth centers in the glorious person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ. To hold to this truth against all odds, all deception, and all temptation is to win a place among the ranks of those who value the fellowship of the King. It is an old story.

This compilation of notes represents the truths found in the Epistles of Second and Third John.

Ephesians #47

Ephesians #47

God has provided everything we need; we have the same resources as every person in the Bible. Spiritual combat briefing: Armor of God Eph 6:10-20. Call to action for believers: "Be strong in the Lord" -- strength/ability that only God can give (Eph 6:10-13). What He gives in fellowship is through His Word (Eph 1:16-20, Eph 3:14-21). "Put on" means to clothe; putting on the armor means putting on Jesus Christ (Rom 13:11-14). Jesus Christ entered the world as an armed soldier (Isa 59:16-20). "Wiles of the Devil" means deceitful plotting (Eph 6:11, Eph 4:14). Have you possessed your possessions (Oba 1:17)? Our war is against the hierarchy of the Satanic hosts (Eph 6:12). "Stand" is the battle cry of the Roman soldiers (Eph 6:13-14). Removing the imagery of the armor, to put on and stand in Jesus Christ means essentially: truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and the Spirit. Christ responded to enemy with the Sword of the Spirit (Luk 4:1-14) -- the recall ministry of the Spirit.
