Don’t blame everything

Choose the right gear

Starts from inside out

belt - truth , breast plate - righteousness - 14

sandals - gospel - 15, shield - faith - vs 16

helmet - salvation/testimony, sword - word of God -vs 17

Prayer holds it all together - vs 18

Take it all - don't pick and choose

This is why you must take up the full armor of God, so that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having prepared everything, to take your stand.

Team Up

Don’t go it alone

And let us be concerned about one another in order to promote love and good works, not staying away from our worship meetings, as some habitually do, but encouraging each other, and all the more as you see the day drawing near.

Stand Up

Get into the fight

We have one who goes before us

The victory is won already

What then are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us?

Stand Up

More than conquerors

We win because He won

Romans 8:37 HCSB

No, in all these things we are more than victorious through Him who loved us.

"Outside of Christ, I am only a sinner, but in Christ, I am saved. Outside of Christ, I am empty; in Christ, I am full. Outside of Christ, I am weak; in Christ, I am strong. Outside of Christ, I cannot; in Christ, I am more than able. Outside of Christ, I have been defeated; in Christ, I am already victorious. How meaningful are the words, "in Christ.""
