Family Time

We are not in this battle alone! All of us need the Lord and we need one another. Discover the marks of a good fellow soldier and determine to be a good soldier of Jesus Christ who looks out for others in this fight.

Yes, we have an adversary. Yes, we have the victory. In this study we look at both the deceit and the defeat of Satan. Take heart! The war will be over soon and all of the soldiers will be at the victory celebration.

Satan will take any place you give him, but he deserves no place in the life of the believer. One stronghold in your life will become a beachhead from which he launches his attacks. Refuse to give any ground to the enemy.

If you are going to win the battle you have to know your enemy. The Devil is real and his chief desire is to destroy man and hurt God. Be aware and be alert!

Three times in Ephesians 6 we find the little word "all" as it relates to prayer. Each is a special encouragement and instruction to keep on praying. The answer is on the way.

Front lines warriors must receive constant reinforcement and replenishment from headquarters. The Lord has established a prayer line that is always open to supply every need. Learn to pray and you will be ready to fight.

From head to toe God gives us what we need to conquer. We are to be armed with the Word - the Word in our minds, in our hands, and on our feet. Arm yourself with the Word of God!

The only way to stand strong and the only way to advance steadily is with good shoes. For the good soldier of Jesus Christ this means the gospel must have its proper place in our lives. Prepare yourself to carry the good news to others!

What is the most important principle for victorious Christian living? It is identified by God in today's Scripture by the expression "above all." Don't miss this truth!

If you lose heart you lose the battle. The heart of the matter is the heart! Today we examine the piece of armor that guards the inner man in the fiercest battles of life.

While there are many things that we need to be a good soldier of Jesus Christ, there is one essentiel that holds it all together - truth. Find out how to "gird up" your mind today in God's truth.

Just as we dress ourselves in prepararation for our daily work, we must put on the armor of God in preparation for daily warfare. Each piece is a picture of Jesus Christ. As you begin your day, put on Jesus!

The soldiers one task is to obey the Captain! The duty of every good soldier of Jesus Christ is to simply do the one thing He has called us to do: STAND. God will give you His strength and you must take your stand.

Spiritual people understand that our enemy is the Devil - not those around them! The battle is being fought in the responsibilities and relationships of life, but the conflict is spiritual. Learn to see the war through God's eyes.

It is easy to get battle weary and forget why we got in the fight to start with! In this study we discover three truths every soldier must remember. This will help you to stay in the battle!

Ask the old warrior and he can tell you what to expect...and how to endure! Today we hear Paul's personal testimony and receive training for the battle ahead.

The mark of good soldiers is both hardness and tenderness - strength against the enemy but mercy for the wounded. In a world of casualties God's people must arm themselves with mercy and truth to help the hurting.

It will cost you something to be a good soldier of Jesus Christ. Discipline and desire are required if you want your life to please Christ. We are all on active duty for the Lord and it is time to get back in the fight!

No one can stand against spiritual opposition in their own power. We need grace! But the first step to enduring hardness is to learn to be hard on yourself. Our hardest battle is against our own flesh.
