I. Check Your Equipment
God has a battle plan to wrest this earth away from Satan and bring it back under His complete jurisdiction. You have become a soldier in His army. These discipleship lessons have been an important part of your training and you are now ready to enter the battle. But first you must check your equipment. The Lord has provided the following checklist for your protection.

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints” (Ephesians 6:10–18).

You should also notice that you have only one offensive weapon, the Word of God. You need to be very familiar with your Bible and to memorize many helpful verses.

Now ask yourself the following questions:
