Ephesians 6 tells us put on the armor of God as we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against spirits in wicked places. This couldn’t be more true than now as we are in a real battle for our souls. Some of you have reached out to me behind the scenes and told me of sins you are struggling with and this is what gave me the idea to share this decree though it has been long up on the ‘resources’ page. On this episode of the Innocence Redeemed podcast I will be sharing the Romans 8 Decree & Prayer and explaining how and why it applies both now and in the future. I will also be giving a stern warning to the mainstream church and body at large who appear to be continuing to walk contrary to the Word in many ways in this late hour. As a wicked nation is called to repent so is an apostate (lukewarm) church.

What Is A Refining & Why? (Note this was initially going to be a two part series. There is not a second part to it as I got wrapped up in other projects that took precedence at the time.)
Please note at this time there is a problem with the news letter. I performed a site upgrade and it is not working correctly at the moment. I am in the process of getting this sorted out and hope to have it resolved by the next episode. Thank you.
Applicable verses related to this podcast:
Ephesians 6:10-18 (NKJV)
10 A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. 12 For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.
13 Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. 14 Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness.
15 For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. 16 In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. 17 Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.

3 For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith. 4 For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function
Romans 15:1-3 (NKJV)
We then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves. 2 Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, leading to edification. 3 For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me.”

Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”

14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works?
