II Timothy 2:4
4No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
• We must understand we are at war.
• We cannot let stuff pull us away from what God has for us.

I Thessalonians 5:8
8But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
• Sober means having a clear mind.
• Even when you are saved, it is necessary to put on some things.
• You must put on love. You must watch what you say and what you hear.
• The key words are: sober, putting on, breastplate of faith, and helmet.
Ephesians 6:16-17
16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
• Taking the shield means that we have to take it if we are going to get it.
• We must take on a conquering spirit. We have to want to be victorious.
• We have to fight fear, anxiety, lust, and stupidity.
• The biggest thing the enemy tries to attack is our mind.
• Salvation means: health, healing, deliverance, preservation, soundness, safety, and prosperity.
Hebrews 4:12
12For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
• We have to keep the Word preeminent in our lives. We have to be in the Word each day.
• If you don’t stay in the Word, the enemy will use deception in your life.
• One of biggest deceptions is self-deception (no one can tell you anything).

Proverbs 18:19
19A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.
• The enemy will try to get you offended.
• The enemy wants us to make wrong choices.
• The Word of God is our defense.

II Corinthians 6:7
7By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
• We have to arm ourselves by the Word of truth, which is the Word of God.
• In order to walk in victory, we must understand how to use the armor provided through God’s Word.
NOTE: Pastor asked that we study all of the scriptures noted and see how they tie together.
