Eric Ludy Sermons

The Christian man or woman represents the greatest threat to Satan's agenda and thusly they are the brunt of his most cruel energies and most cunning stratagems. But we are not left without a defense. The book of Nehemiah showcases how this battle works. Those opposed to Nehemiah were determined to stop the building of the walls of Jerusalem, and in their opposition, they attempted to cajole Nehemiah with nine distinct lies. These lies are the very same ones used against you and me today. First, we must recognize them as lies, and then we must learn how to respond to each of them with the Word of God as our primary weapon.

To pray “in the name of Jesus,” is not merely spiritually sounding verbiage implemented by dutiful Christians to properly conclude their prayers at the dinner table. Rather, it’s life, it’s power, and it’s spiritual authority granted the believing man to move forward God’s agenda on this earth. When a Christian man or woman properly leverages the Name of Jesus, the world changes, mountains are moved, demons are stripped of their power, and darkness is overcome by light.

The Apostle Paul startles the modern-day believer with his enunciations in Romans chapter six. He declares that our “old man” was crucified with Christ two thousand years ago at Calvary. If that were true, then why do so many of us feel that our “old man” is still very much alive within us? Paul declares that we are now dead to sin - but why is it that so many of us are still so alive to it? These are critical questions in need of a strong answer today. And the answer is life-altering. NOTE: please forgive us for the audio quality of this sermon. We had a microphone failure and were only able to pick Eric’s voice up through a room mic - so, though his voice is discernible and understandable, the quality is definitely less than desirable.

The Blood of Christ is efficacious, which means it is able to perform on our behalf - it is downright, supernaturally effective - it can and will accomplish everything God promises that it will. And God’s promises regarding the Blood of Jesus Christ are rather amazing - even startling.

God has promised, but is He trustworthy to back up His promises? Many today, even within the realm of Christianity, question whether He is. But as it proclaims in Numbers 23:19, “God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. Hath he said, and shall he not do it? Or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?” The promises of God (which are replete throughout Scripture) are not merely given to us: we must come to them and obtain them. There is a Promised Land (also known as real Christianity) flowing with the milk and honey of God’s goodness, but it is only those who believe their God that will find it.

Faith is not a heavenly recommendation, but a heavenly requirement. In fact, it’s impossible to function as a real Christian in this earth without it. We’re not talking about the sort of pseudo-faith that crumbles at the first sign of resistance, but rather the intrepid stuff that refuses to back down even when the mountains are crumbling to the sea. As Christians, we need to have this mighty substance packed within our souls—it’s our armor, it’s our strength, it’s our real-world currency in all spiritual matters. So, how does one acquire such a thing as “real faith?” How is this sort of faith built? And how do you know if you have the real thing?

The Fatherly nature of God is the touchstone for our confidence. Our God is unchanging, and if it is true that He is who He says He is, then we can place the entirety of our trust in His amazing nature. And He is legally bound never to fail us when we place our hope in Him.

The basis of our faith is in the nature of our God. And the basis of God's nature is found in the fact that He is first and foremost a father. The word "Ab" (Father) is the first word in the Hebrew language; similarly, the first words in our new birth are to be "Abba."
