Put On the Whole Armor of God: Brother Jim Shaw on Spiritual Warfare and the Narrow Gate

Brother Jim Shaw preaches a short broadcast urging listeners to return to their first love and to put on the whole armor of God against spiritual warfare. He draws on Ephesians 6, the Captain of our salvation, Lot's wife, and the narrow gate, closing with warnings about judgment and the last days.

Returning to Our First Love

Brother Jim Shaw opens the broadcast by urging listeners to get back to basics, reminding them of the instruction in scripture not to forget their first love.

He cites a passage he places in the last book of John, saying the miracles would fill more books than the world could hold, yet asks where the witnesses were, and suggests it was probably one Roman soldier who drove the nails. The host describes Jesus as a stranger and a pilgrim in the land he created. From this he tells listeners never to let a spirit of depression take hold of them in these times.

Put On the Whole Armor of God

Shaw calls on believers to be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might, which he defines as God's Word and trusting what God has said. He urges listeners not to be a spaghetti spine, not to be fearful, make excuses, or procra
