H. Do I pray always? You should try to always be in an attitude of prayer. Always keep that line of communication with God open. You can whisper a prayer for help in every decision you make every day of your life. You must also set aside a time every day specifically for prayer and nothing else. This will help you to put on all the armor mentioned in this lesson most effectively. II. Understand the Battle Plan There have been different battle plans for different ages but the battle plan for the Church Age has been clearly spelled out in the New Testament. Our Lord gave a set of final instructions to His disciples, and by association to His church, before He ascended. They are neatly summarized in the following passages. And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And ye are witnesses of these things (Luke 24:4648). But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth (Acts 1:8). Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen (Matthew 28:1920). We can glean several important principles from these instructions.
