Are Your Tools Sharpened?

Pro 27:17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

1Sa 13:20-21 But all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, and his colter, and his axe, and his mattock. (21) Yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the colters, and for the forks, and for the axes, and to sharpen the goads.

How Important is it to Sharpen our Tools and Know How to Use Them?

Eph 6:10-18 Finally, my brethren, be strong in YHWH, and in the power of his might. (11) Put on the whole armor of YHWH, 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 armor of YHWH, 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 YHWH: (18) Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

2Co 10:3-6 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (4) (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through YHWH to the pulling down of strongholds; ) (5) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of YHWH, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Messiah; (6) And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

Luk 21:26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

Mk 11:22-23 And YHWSHUA answering saith unto them, Have faith in Elohim. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

Luk 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Truth

2Co 6:7 By the word of truth, by the power of YHWH, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

1Pe 1:13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of YHWSHUA Messiah (In us)

Righteousness (Manifest the Nature of YHWH)

Isa 59:17 For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak.

1Th 5:8-9 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation. (9) For YHWH hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Master YHWSHUA Messiah,

Rev 19:7-9 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. (8) And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. (9) And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of YHWH.

Peace

Psa 4:8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, YHWH, only makest me dwell in safety.

Psa 37:37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.

Isa 52:6-8 Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I. (7) How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy Elohim reigneth! (8) Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when YHWH shall bring again Zion.

2Co 5:18-19 And all things are of YHWH, who hath reconciled us to himself by YHWSHUA Messiah, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; (19) To wit, that YHWH was in Messiah, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

Faith

Heb 11:1,6 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (6) But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to YHWH must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Psa 56:3-4 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. (4) In Elohim I will praise his word, in Elohim I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.

1Jn 5:4-5 For whatsoever is born of YHWH overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. (5) Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that YHWSHUA is the Son of YHWH?

Salvation (Deliverance & Overcoming Power in every situation)

Luk 3:6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of YHWH.

Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Messiah: for it is the power of YHWH unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Rom 10:9-10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth The Master YHWSHUA, and shalt believe in thine heart that YHWH hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. (10) For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Php 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

Rom 13:11-14 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. (12) The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. (13) Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. (14) But put ye on The Master YHWSHUA Messiah, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof.

Word of YHWH

Mat 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of YHWH.

Eze 11:19-20 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh: (20) That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their Elohim.

Rev 17:17 For YHWH hath put in their hearts to fulfill his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of YHWH shall be fulfilled.

Heb 8:7-10 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. (8) For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith YHWH, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: (9) Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith YHWH. (10) For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith YHWH; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them an Elohim, and they shall be to me a people:

Prayer & Meditation

Luk 18:1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

Psa 6:9 YHWH hath heard my supplication; YHWH will receive my prayer.

Php 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto YHWH.

Col 4:2 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;

Psa 19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O YHWH, my strength, and my redeemer.

1Ti 4:12-15 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. (13) Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. (14) Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. (15) Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
