Let's bow our heads in prayer. Father, we, we are a weak and a needy people. We must have your strengthening. We must have your armor, and we thank you, God.
What a, What a wonderful act of mercy that you, the greatest warrior, the great one, the mighty one, the Lord of armies. That you would take your own armor. And give it to us and say, try this on. And get out there and fight.
Lord, I know that for myself and for everyone in this room who knows you, that there are, there are hundreds if not thousands of battles that await us. There are demonic intelligences that have heard every word that's been spoken this morning. And are already conspiring from my own defeat and the defeat of everyone sitting under the sound of my voice. They're good at what they do and they're strong.
We dare not walk out of this building, Lord, in our own strength. We dare not walk out of this building. Clothed in any way, but in your armor. Help us, God, to fight the fight, to keep the faith....
