stand for truth or live in righteousness.

Jesus came to make us the
righteousness of God. For he hath
made him to be sin for us, who
knew no sin; that we might be
made the righteousness of God
in him (II Corinthians 5:21). To be
righteous, there can’t be one sin in
you.
Jesus never sinned, and He is our
example. Christ also suffered for
us, leaving us an example, that ye
should follow his steps: Who did
no sin, neither was guile found
in his mouth (I Peter 2:21,22).
The Bible also says, The soul that
sinneth, it shall die (Ezekiel 18:20).
Yet many people and even preachers
say everybody sins. Well, that means
they are sinning, or they wouldn’t say
that.
Seek Divine Peace
Going back to the armor of God,
your feet must be shod with the
Gospel of peace. That is divine peace,
and the world does not understand it
because they have feet of clay. And
the peace of God, which passeth
all understanding, shall keep your
hearts and minds through Christ
Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Paul said,
Follow peace with all men, and
holiness, without which no man
shall see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14).
To have that peace every day, you
must receive all of Jesus; but very few
Christians ever do that. They may get
saved, but they don’t go on to deny
themselves and take up their cross and
follow Jesus all the way. You have to
follow hard after the Lord with feet of
iron, not clay; and He will always draw
on you to go deeper.
Jesus is at your door every day,
and He wants you to let Him in.
Behold, I stand at the door, and
knock: if any man hear my voice,
and open the door, I will come in to
him, and will sup with him, and he
with me (Revelation 3:20). If you have
feet of clay, you won’t open the door to
Jesus. You need feet of divine strength,
grace, power, love and faith to be able
to let Jesus in, wear His shoes and walk
with Him.
Use Divine Faith and Love
When you have feet of iron, you
will carry and use the shield of divine
faith. That faith moves mountains of
sickness, disease, sin, sorrow, heartache,
despair, depression, oppression and so
much more. That is the faith the Bible
describes in Hebrews 11. When you
read about all the things faith did in
that chapter and then claim that faith
as yours, you will be able to stand with
feet of iron.
You must have divine love to go
with that faith, and that eternal love
will draw you closer and closer to Jesus
and give you the heartbeat of God. God
gave His whole heart and all of His love
when Jesus died on the Cross. If people
won’t accept that love, the Lord has
nothing more to give them.
The love and power in the divine
blood will last for eternity; and when
you are covered with that blood, nothing
can defeat you. However, if you have
feet of clay, you will be defeated day
after day. Your name may be on a
church roster, and you may have been
baptized in water. You may even have
said the sinner’s prayer; but if you
didn’t really mean it, you still walked
away with weak feet of clay that won’t
keep up with the Word or the holiness of
God.
Peter Carried the Wrong Sword
When you have feet of iron, you will
carry the sword of the Spirit, the Word
of God. That Word is stronger than any
