    Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.             Ephesians 6:10-18   For our struggle is not against flesh and blood...        Ephesians 6:12   Stand Strong In The Lord’s Strength Suit Up With God’s Armor Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the life."       John 14:6 Get Proficient In The Offensive Weapons God Has Given You If you only open your Bible on Sunday, your sword is already rusted by Tuesday.   Finally, pray in the Spirit on all occasions     Tactical Briefing for the Week (Weekly Challenge)          The battle is real but the enemy is defeated! We don’t fight for victory we fight from victory! • Suit up before you sync up - Shield yourself before you expose yourself to the noise of the world.• Sharpen your scriptural machaira (dagger) – Identify Your Biggest Battle and attack it with a verse.• Send the SOS text – Lock shields with a Christian friend.

    Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.     Luke 11:1 Prayer Is a Habit You Cultivate Not a Skill You Pick Up Overnight Once Jesus was in a certain place praying. As he finished, one of his disciples came to him and said, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.” 2 Jesus said, “This is how you should pray: “Father, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come soon. 3 Give us each day the food we need, 4 and forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us. And don’t let us yield to temptation.”         Luke 11:1-4 Lord's Prayer   First, God Second, Alignment Third, Dependence Fourth, Forgiveness Fifth, Guidance   Persistence in Prayer Unlocks Power 5 Then, teaching them more about prayer, he used this story: “Suppose you went to a friend’s house at midnight, wanting to borrow three loaves of bread. You say to him, 6 ‘A friend of mine has just arrived for a visit, and I have nothing for him to eat.’ 7 And suppose he calls out from his bedroom, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is locked for the night, and my family and I are all in bed. I can’t help you.’ 8 But I tell you this—though he won’t do it for friendship’s sake, if you keep knocking long enough, he will get up and give you whatever you need because of your shameless persistence."        Luke 11:5-8 9 “And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.         Luke 11:9-10 13 So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.        Luke 11:13 Prayer Transforms the Prayed For and the One Who Prays So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.      Luke 11:9 A. Prayer teaches dependence on God B. Prayer shapes perspective and wisdom C. Prayer connects you to God’s Kingdom work For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.      Luke 11:10 D. Prayer builds resilience and joy in the journey E. Prayer transforms doubt into faith Prayer Invites God Into the Impossible So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.      Luke 11:13   Kingdom Level Challenge Challenge #1: Carve out a daily prayer time. Challenge #2: Pray with bold persistence.

    11  There is much more we would like to say about this, but it is difficult to explain, especially since you are spiritually dull and don’t seem to listen. Hebrews 5:1112  For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food. Hebrews 5:1213  For everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is achild. 14 But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernmenttrained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil. Hebrews 5:13-14Spiritual Immaturity Is Dangerous14 But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves todistinguish good from evil. Hebrews 5:14Put Your Excuses to Death22  Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. James 1:22Doing the Word Is Just As Important As Knowing the Word22  But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are onlyfooling yourselves.  23  For if you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror.  24  You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like.  25  But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it. James 1:22-2523  For if you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in amirror.  24  You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like. James 1:23-2425  But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it.

    God Wants To Interrupt Your Life Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the Lord’s disciples. He went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any there who belonged to the Way, whether men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem.         Acts 9:1-2  Jesus Wants You To See Him for Who He Really Is As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?’ “Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked. “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” he replied. “Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.” - Acts 9:3-6 The Resurrection Changes Your Perspective The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless; they heard the sound but did not see anyone. Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes, he could see nothing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus. For three days he was blind, and did not eat or drink anything.         Acts 9:7-9  Jesus Calls You To Surrender Go, for he is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before the Gentiles… Acts  9:15 Come to me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.   Matthew 11:28   Behold, I stand at the door and I knock, and if you'll hear my voice and open the door, I will come in.       Revelation 3:20
