In this message from 1 Peter 4:1-6, Pastor Byron teaches persecuted believers how to arm themselves for spiritual warfare as soldiers in enemy territory, explaining that Christ’s suffering provides the pattern for ceasing from sin and living victoriously. He emphasizes that true spiritual armor cannot be activated through human effort or trying to live by the Ten Commandments (the Romans 7 struggle), but only through spiritual breathing—exhaling by confessing sin and inhaling by yielding to the Holy Spirit’s control—warning believers not to let others’ judgments rob them of joy since they will be vindicated by God even if martyred.
