Series: Armed

Be Strong

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
- Ephesians 6:10–13 (NIV)

Strength for the battle comes from the Lord as we put on His armor and stand.

As followers of Christ, we are not fighting for victory we are FIGHTING FROM VICTORY! Jesus said, “It is FINISHED”.

Access God’s Power

“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

Acknowledge the Battle

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.”
- ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭10‬-‭12‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Advance with Assurance

“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.”
- ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭13‬ ‭NIV‬‬

We are not just survivors or defenders but MORE THAN CONQUERORS! (Romans 8:37)

Title: BORN TO WIN

All Scriptures are the New Living Translation (NLT) version

1 Samuel 17:48 As Goliath moved closer to attack, David quickly ran out to meet him.

1 Samuel 17:49 Reaching into his shepherd’s bag and taking out a stone, he hurled it
with his sling and hit the Philistine in the forehead. The stone sank in, and Goliath
stumbled and fell face down on the ground.

1 Samuel 17:50 So David triumphed over the Philistine with only a sling and a stone, for
he had no sword.

1 Samuel 17:51 Then David ran over and pulled Goliath’s sword from its sheath. David
used it to kill him and cut off his head.

GOD HAS BEEN PREPARING YOU

1 Samuel 16:6 When they arrived, Samuel took one look at Eliab and thought, “Surely
this is the lord’s anointed!”

1 Samuel 16:7 But the lord said to Samuel, “Don’t judge by his appearance or height, for I
have rejected him. The lord doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by
outward appearance, but the lord looks at the heart.”

1 Samuel 16:11 Then Samuel asked, “Are these all the sons you have?”“There is still the
youngest,” Jesse replied. “But he’s out in the fields watching the sheep and
goats.”“Send for him at once,” Samuel said. “We will not sit down to eat until he arrives.”

Hidden Places Produce Visible Results

Forgotten Does Not Mean Abandoned

Timing is Everything

GOD's PLAN MAKES SENSE LATER

1 Samuel 17:34 But David persisted. “I have been taking care of my father’s sheep and
goats,” he said. “When a lion or a bear comes to steal a lamb from the flock,

1 Samuel 17:35 I go after it with a club and rescue the lamb from its mouth. If the animal
turns on me, I catch it by the jaw and club it to death.

1 Samuel 17:36 I have done this to both lions and bears, and I’ll do it to this pagan
Philistine, too, for he has defied the armies of the living God!

Never Underestimate Your History with God

Take Every Past Lesson into the Fight

GOD WILL DIRECT YOUR PATHS

1. BE WHO YOU ARE
2. USE WEAPONS YOU'VE PERFECTED
3. MAKE A BOLD DECLARATION
4. TAKE A STEP OF FAITH

Series: Chiseled: Built by Jesus...

Series Scripture: Ephesians 2:10

“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”

Sermon: Chiseled by the Spirit

Scripture: Acts 1:8; Acts 2:4; Acts 2:14

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.””

‭‭Acts‬ ‭1‬:‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.”

‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭4‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd..."

‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭14‬ ‭NIV‬‬

INTRODUCTION: Jesus never told the church to be clever enough, strong enough, or persuasive enough. He told us to wait for power, because the mission ahead would require more than human ability.

Movements start with movement:

• Pentecost turns weakness into boldness.

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.””

‭‭Acts‬ ‭1‬:‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

• Peter preaches with clarity and conviction.

“And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’”

‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭21‬ ‭NIV‬‬

• God uses Peter to build the church.

“Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.”

‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭41‬ ‭NIV‬‬

CONCLUSION: God does not only heal us for private comfort; He builds us for public usefulness and kingdom impact.
