Fighting for the King - Easter Evangelism 1987 — George Verwer

Praise the Lord. Let's just pray once again. There are many many things on our hearts After the ministry of the word we're going to go right into a time of intercessory prayer and touch nations and people government Kinds of things around the world, but let's just pray once again now.

I know you have been praying you have already been worshiping. Let's just allow that sense of expectation and vision just to keep Going as we pray or there's so much that I love to share to this beautiful group of committed people.

You're just gonna have to help me Lord to just Leave aside things that are secondary. Though we know there's always a straw factor no matter what we do no matter what we say, but may there be minimum straw and Maximum wheat as we share together as we pray together as we seek your face together.

Thank you for what you're doing Around the world we thank you for what you're doing right now. It's spring harvest and thank you for what you're doing and Individual unnoticed local churches they carry on their witness.

Thank you for what you've been doing in Italy where I've just come from. Out in Pakistan and Bangladesh other parts of the world or grip us with greater vision. We may Have a world vision and be committed with action with life everything to world evangelism.

We thank you now for this time together in Jesus name. Amen. I really believe That somehow I'm in the Lord's purpose is being with you tonight. And I'm excited about what's happening here, and I just hope that somehow you can grasp Something of what is burning on my heart and has been burning there as far as I can remember every day now for 32 years as passion to Just obey the Lord Jesus Christ wherever he leave.

Whatever the cost to obey his word do his will. That self may be crucified that Christ may be magnified. No, that's nothing new and It's a joy to be in this church. I've heard about this church probably for 20 years and I think it's my first opportunity to share with you.

And I know some of you are from this church. You've already had a focus on operation world. So I'm not going to say much more about it except that I myself am praying through this systematically. Though I've been involved in mission 32 years.

Operation World and Prayer for the Nations

I learned something every time I practice. This is one of the most Significant Christian books that has ever been produced in his there is almost nothing like it and I just commend it to you 500 pages not to put it in your library, but to pray through it.

We're going to be using it tonight. The prayer cards are taken from the maps of the world go with it probably at a special price and. But this whole batch for 730. That's a 450. Wow all those things for 450.

Tremendous and now we've arranged to give this free with it as well. You know, I just talked to. I Am still praising God for what happened the last time Billy Graham and Luis Palau were in this country.

You know some people say well, you know, this is program evangelism. What we need is power evangelism. I tell you the last time Billy Graham and Luis Palau came here. It was program and power because only the power of the Holy Ghost can save people and Sanctify them and fill them and change their lives.

I of course have a little bit of a bias as I was saved in a Billy Graham meeting 32 years ago and have never been the same one day since and I got a hold of some of these recently and and was just looking through it.

And it was just a reminder of what God has done over the years. Through the visits of this servant. There's so many people thought would backslide or be off the rails years ago. He's still on the move and you can have that as a gift if you purchase Operation world or some of the other books.

Oswald J. Smith and the Sacrifice of Missions

Let me mention the writing of Oswald J Smith. On Saturday, I head off to Canada to speak at this man's church that he found. He's the Jesus. I Was with him just a little over a year ago before he died 96 years of age still going strong.

Very weak physically. The only thing he could do is pray that church committed equivalent to 700 ,000 pounds foreign missions world missions last year. This is in the States with a big box. This is Canada with a little box.

Very ordinary people who believe the Word of God. That's all it takes, you know. Who believe the Word of God men are lost need to be reached and it's worth sacrifice. It's giving it trusting God for the impossible.

This is the book that probably as a young Christian made the greatest impact on my life. Different title at that time. Challenge of missions. Oswald J Smith introduction by Malcolm Whitacombe. Take my life by mouth by Michael Griffiths.

Is really my favorite book on discipleship very old now, but in my mind, it's a classic on commit. And how we would love to have him he often speaks at our OM conferences. How we love to have him for a week.

Well, we can't get him. These people aren't easy to get. But we can get his best theory. I've heard a lot of his other material doesn't get near what he put it. Take my life if you get only one book because maybe you're broke get this book take my life by Michael Griffiths.

A New author on the British scene is Gordon MacDonald a new president of I these or in a varsity ordering your private world and Restoring your spiritual passion without a question will be probably two of the leading books of this century.

They are making an enormous impact in North America. The British editions have only just come. These are books that Christian leaders pick up who have read two three hundred books. They pick them up and read them and they say they're in a class of their own.

I want every single OM leader to read both of these books and I was just so thrilled to find them here on the book table. Lastly what I call the greatest book of this Century as far as an overall spiritual book covers a wide range of spiritual emphasis.

Dr. Lloyd-jones Spiritual depression and you're not going to agree with every line. You're not of the his same theological persuasion. Don't worry about that. This is an encyclopedia on Spirit controlled spirit filled discipline with it's deep you'll need a year to absorb.

But I commend you Dr. Lloyd-jones his book spiritual depression people thought he would never come to minister on OM because he was so strong in certain ways and OM is such a you know mixed multitude Pentecostals and Brethren and Baptists and Anglicans and Those who put the hands in the air and those who sit on the keep warm and all different types gather together.

Lloyd-jones surely would never you know mix with a crowd like this, but you know God led him to come and minister on our ship when it was in London. And he gave a message that you can get from things that matter our OM tape library.

May even be able to get it from STL, but that's a tape of the message he gave when he came to the ship and it was a message of balance emphasizing doctrine and need for revival and a great work of the Holy Spirit.

Absolutely what? The Lord has put on our hearts all of these years now. I hope you've written a few of those titles down. Because they are outstanding and I mean that with all my heart if you get any of those books.

You don't feel absolute Challenged and that's Just greatest book bargain you ever had you write to me. I mean this I will apologize and I will send you 25 free books with my apology because we don't want to lead any money to spray.

We don't want anybody to take any merchandise that they're going to be dissatisfied. Let's now turn to the book of books. This is in a total blast of its own. These are just sermons in print and if they're not based on the Word of God, we're not interested.

Fighting for the Kingdom Through Culturally Sensitive Evangelism

But we're here to look at the Word of God. It's interesting without knowing it. FFA has asked me to speak on the same subject that they assigned me to speak on at Spring Harvest. And it's the subject of the fight.

I'm not going to give the same message. Because there is so much material maybe a slight overlap if anybody was there in mind head. But I do believe God has called us To be fighters for the kingdom. Now we need to understand what that means.

Doesn't mean we go out in the road meet somebody of another religion. Boom. We punch him in the nose, and you know one of our goals during this week is that you may develop Cultural sensitivity. I would love to talk on that subject.

I'm sure someone else's. I've just come from Italy and When you're in Italy you do it the Italian way. Last summer I was in Poland. When you're in Poland you do it the Polish way of course as foreigners.

We'll always make some mistakes. People will be willing To forgive us. But as much as possible you need to take the gospel to people. In a way that will be culturally sensitive. Why one of the first things we learn those of us working among Muslims is that we treat our Bibles.

Our actual Bible in a little bit of a special way never allow it near our feet. Muslim would never allow the Quran to go below generally his waist. They carry them wrapped in a nice beautiful cloth. They treat the Quran with far greater respect and we treat our Bibles.

Respecting Scripture While Avoiding Bibliolatry

Of course we may know we may want to avoid bibliology and we don't worship the actual book. They're a little bit into that I'm afraid so we're not interested in that extreme, but we can certainly avoid in a meeting Where there might be any Muslim, you know having the Bible on the floor that is just a horrendous thing and I share that just in in way of example.

That there is incredible complexity in the work that God has called it to reaching our friends from abroad here there are tremendous obstacles tremendous problems and. And I just pray that you will understand we need to have our L plates on this.

Maybe this isn't the week when we're gonna turn Manchester upside down for Jesus. We want to do that. We don't want you to feel Inhibited or intimidated with your big prayers. We always get little people on OM with big prayers, but it may be That this week God's big event is for laying a foundation.

That's gonna last 20 30 40 years in your life. That may lead you into a lifetime in-depth series of relationships with People from other countries people of other races people of other background. It was a great joy in my seminar at Spring Harvest to have an English woman ministering with me a very gifted woman and a dear West Indian preacher.

Ministering with me or I within the three of us in that same seminar one English woman. Another man from the West Indies and one sort of migrant immigrant American speaking together on very very hot issues and The Lord just gave us a team spirit as we did that.

Learning Humility and Team Spirit in Ministry

We hope you will feel welcome to the team here. We in OM are just Learners. We are strugglers. We are failing every day in some area. We hope little areas some days big areas. We have our L plates on do not think you know you have arrived.

And OM is gonna show me exactly everything I should do in my life. But I'm witnessing in cross-cultural evangelism. We may actually show you some things not to do. But one thing is for sure if we are going to do this kind of work.

The rest of our life we are going to have to develop spiritual fight. We are going to have to develop stickability. Turn with me now in your Bibles to Timothy chapter 4. 2nd Timothy chapter 4. Paul was able to say I have fought a good fight.

I Have finished my course. I Have kept the faith. That beautiful. I once gave a message comparing Saul and Paul similarities in their life up until a point and totally different. Saul chose Live for himself.

Paul chose to live for his sake. Paul was able to say I am crucified with Christ. Nevertheless, I live yet not I but Christ liveth within me and so at the end of his life Paul could say I have fought a good fight.

I have finished my course. I have kept the faith. Saul had to say I have played the fool. I Have played fool. You can make an interesting comparative study. Look at first Timothy 1 12. First Timothy 1 12 further word from the mouth of Paul.

I thank Christ Jesus our Lord. Who hath enabled me in that he counted me faithful putting me into the ministry God Has put us into this. I believe God has led us to be. Maybe after a few days you may even wonder why am I here?

Maybe you'll feel your motives aren't 100 pure. Total purity of motive is something we work for all of our life. That's something we just pick up as a baby Christian in a meeting somewhere and So if there's any motives that are not a hundred percent Pleasing to God just deal with it and leave it and get on with obeying him.

The Lord knows that sometimes as we go into the streets, we don't have a great emotional love for these people. I've just been reading John Haggai's brilliant new book on leadership. He talks about the vision.

He talks about the mission. He then talks about the goal to make the mission a reality to fulfill the vision. And He shared how you know, so often he doesn't have that emotional love and what real agape love is and It's agape love that we're going to have to demonstrate to this community and to this city.

In going the extra mile and reaching out when we don't maybe feel like it and going to that one more door and talking to That one more person. I will tell you I Believe we are going to see lasting fruit as a result of coming.

Faithfulness, Fruitfulness, and the Power of the Holy Spirit

God wants us to go forward with a spirit of expectation in OM. We strongly believe in faithfulness. We emphasize perhaps faithfulness as much as we do fruitfulness. But we must have a spirit of faith.

We must have a spirit of expectation that we are going to see fruit. God has called us into this ministry. God has led us to this place. We come in weakness. We come as learners, but we come in the authority and power of the Holy Spirit.

Let's not forget that Paul also mentions the word fight. In a different phraseology in chapter 2 verse 4 No man that wareth entangles entangleth himself for the affairs of this life that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.

That of course is tied in with verse 3 Thou therefore endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. Sometimes this week it's gonna be hard. You know as I haven't been to Italy for a number of years.

It was a great joy to go back there this weekend. It's a very special meeting. It was a very great privilege to be invited there. That's why I traveled so far to be there. But I will tell you I met so many young people Who got their training on an OM team.

That I came back convinced and I am constantly need reconvince. I've got this deep cynical skeptical streak that I battle with and I just became convinced. What OM is doing in Italy though? It's one of our weakest smallest deal.

We had a spontaneous meeting of XOMers and you know 30 people came out of the trees. I don't mean literally, but they came to the meeting. I don't want to give you any wrong ideas about Italy and you know a number of those XOMers are long-term.

Anointed church planters and church workers. Some of them are elders. The other visiting speaker. The Italian speaker we're ministering together. Two main speakers. He was on OM for a number of years and here we were two of us minister together.

I Believe God wants to lay foundation in your life this week. I know some of you already have foundation. But I'm speaking especially to those of you who are younger those of you who may be somewhat new to intercessory ministry to moving out in evangelism.

To becoming a fighter in God's army enduring hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. I Know that in my life. I'm still learning and I'm relearning. What a privilege to be in God's one of the things that really concerns me about people in ministry.

Spiritual Climate, Self-Pity, and Endurance

And I'm often ministering to Christian leaders and to pastors missionaries. I've just come back from Bangladesh and Pakistan and Nepal. A lot of the meetings were Christian Leaders and pastors and missionaries.

You know what really disturbs me is When those of us in the ministry we start to groan we get the murmurs we get the groan. People aren't loving us enough. People aren't sending us enough money. People aren't caring for us enough people aren't encouraging us enough.

This person doesn't appreciate my ministry. This person that person. Pretty soon we get into a a sort of mud puddle of self-pity. We are chosen people. Whether anybody is showing you enough love or not Should not determine your spiritual climate.

Your spiritual climate must be and should be determined by your fellowship with God himself. That is what produces fighters. That is what produces spiritual runners. That's what gets people to the end of God's marathon as I'll do all J. Smith at 96 years of age or Keith Beckman.

Was the first British director of OM in his mid-twenties? Paul said later on In the book of Philippians that he ran the race. He wanted to finish the course. I'm sure you're aware of other similar verses of other phrases like fight the good fight.

I love Chapter 4 verse 12 in 1st Timothy. That no man despised I youth but be thou an example of the believer in word in Conduct in love in spirit in faith in purity. OM. Very very criticized movement when it was born in Europe.

Or reborn in Europe didn't have that name when it was first born in Mexico. Just this summer celebrating the 30th anniversary of birth of the work in Mexico, but it was really very tiny until. That great fiasco I had in the Soviet Union.

Failure as a Springboard for Missionary Calling

When I went there in 61 many of you know my friend brother Andrew God smuggler and I have brother George God bungler. I also You know went into the Soviet Union and was gonna give out Bibles and I got arrested by the secret police due to my own stupidity and They accused me of being a CIA agent in the Soviet Union.

Spied it really I look like it's fine. You're the first audience that's ever done that. Usually they just look at me. And sort of a skeptical look. But I came back From that failure and it's good to face up to failure, especially since so often.

It's a springboard to success. And I spent a day in prayer. I Was during that day of prayer that these two words came to me for the first time in a spiritual context. Operation mobilization before that my main burden was the communist world closed countries.

I was living in Spain under Franco and the Muslim world, but through that Fiasco, I realized something had to happen in Western Europe something had to happen in Britain in France among God's people. We couldn't just import a few Americans.

But something had to happen in Europe and that would spill over into the communist world into the Muslim world and the end the rest of the world and As you know that has happened to some degree since those days.

400 million people have been given the Word of God face to face in preaching or personal work or literature. 400 million have been faced Through these armies of people that God has raised up who had this great this great passion to be a disciple is a disciplined one a Disciple is a soldier a disciple is a fighter.

Persevering Through Temptation and Failure

The terminology we wanted to stress this evening. That no man despised I you you see one of the reasons we were criticized was because we were so young. And maybe you will feel criticized or maybe when you get back home from this week.

Someone will intimidate you or maybe you will be intimidated by the fact that. Maybe the week hasn't been all that you expected and maybe you didn't win anyone personally to Christ. Or maybe you even had some struggle or failure.

How many of you young men I want to be honest ever have Serious struggle with pornography just raise your hand. No one's gonna remember just put your hand up. Is there anyone have a struggle with pornography occasionally raise your hand?

Well, I can relate to you. Because I have battled pornography all of my life at 16. I was a porno. Started to peddle it. I was saved. I was able to put a match to those magazines. My mother didn't even know I had them.

They're nothing compared to the magazines today. They're just mild back in the 50s. And God gave victory but the temptation can come just like an alcoholic that temptation can come back at any time. Some of you know the story of how I bumped into one of these magazines in the woods and didn't exactly win the battle.

So let me give a positive story that Yesterday morning running as I go out running in the morning as I came back to this conference center where I was ministering. There was a piece of Pornography just right in the in the tracks because of God's Grace and because he's taught me how to fight against this how to resist it when it comes on.

Even though the temptation was there. It was small compared to the grace of God. I just grabbed it thought my arm was gonna ignite and put it in a rubbish tin without giving a second hardly any look whatsoever.

How do you do when you get that temptation young man. Interesting how ignorant women are of what men back is that the record straight? Of course men are ignorant what women battle? So it would be good if we could all have a little more sympathy one for the other and realize we are weak and not presume and understand.

That you may have a crisis in your life. I've had many crisis. I believe in deliverance. I believe in prayer. But if that crisis is not followed by a process it will become an abscess. I know I probably say it every year too bad.

Lot of you are new week. I hear of another major Christian leader Who gets his marriage blown up his ministry blown up and decides to go out and fornicate. I'm just being blunt again. I'm talking about Christian leaders.

I'm not talking about young people on an FFA Ministry week up in Manchester. I'm talking about the big boys. Now the Apostle Paul said I buff it my body that's Paul. I don't hear too many people talking about this buffeting of the body and Sounds a bit aesthetic.

You know, do you really think asceticism is the big problem in the English Church? Asceticism is the big problem in the English Church asceticism. Or maybe you feel the big problem is Enthusiasm. People are too enthusiastic too much love too much faith too much prayer too much excitement for God maybe in this church.

But it's not the problem of the average church. A W Tozer another one of my favorite quotes I'd get like to give every year probably missed last year, but Tozer said to think that too much enthusiasm or anything along that line was the greatest problem in the average church was like sending a Squadron of squadron of policemen out to the nearby cemetery to guard against a major demonstration by the residents.

I Love that quote. If it gets you upset. Then you can talk to Tozer when you get to heaven if you're allowed even in his presence when you get there. You'll be so close to God. I'm sure you will too by the blood of Jesus Christ.

We are called to fight. No matter what blessing you get no matter how many scriptures you memorize no matter how many OM summer campaigns you go on. No matter what experience you have. Conversion the fullness of the Spirit different people give different names to different experiences.

Whatever if you don't follow it up by developing the ability to be a fighter for God. You will probably end up a casualty. Because we are in total war. Satan is out to destroy us. Even today I've heard of another white man God who has been wiped out in the country.

I Might just say to bring that into balance that for everyone I hear that does get knocked out. First of all, some of them do recuperate and repent and get back and there's a brilliant book on that subject now by Erwin Lutzer.

We don't have it here. But you can write down the title called when a good man falls and if you know anybody that's fallen into moral sin. You get that book into their hands when a good man falls. So some of these people who fall they experience God's cleansing and they get up and they run the race again.

And God uses them at least to some degree. Here's the exciting news as far as I'm concerned for everyone that falls in my feeble evaluation. There are 10 there are 20 there are 30 or going up in our own movement now in the marathon race for 30 years we've had very little of this kind of thing and It is a testimony of God's keeping power.

It is a testimony to the fact that discipleship works if you will get into a program and In which you are trained in your body in your mind in your whole being. You will become stronger in Jesus Christ you will learn how to resist temptation and God is no respecter of person.

So even though you may be young God can do a deep work. Let no man despise our youth and I hope that will be true here this week. That we will be spiritually sensitive. That our goal as we go out in everything we do will be to do it 100 for God if it's to wash the dishes if it's Organize the books sweep the floor or give out tracks or go door-to-door or drive a vehicle.

It's not just the personal work that we want to be quality. We want everything to be quality. Six of us who represent the whole OM world as OM is divided into areas. Six of us meet for the next three days 10 15 hours of 10 12 hours a day with One great passion to make OM a work of greater quality to bring more glory to God.

To deal with any sin with any error. We'll spend much time Praying looking over memos and letters that come to us from our leaders. Keep hitting this mic. I'm sorry about that. Not the right place for me.

Who Who write to us all over the world saying look this needs discussion and OM this needs improving. This is an area where sin may be getting in. So we meet. Because we want this work to be quality work.

We want you to be a quality disciple. We want you to be a demonstration of the love of God we want you to be a marathon runner in God's race. We want you to be that first Timothy 4 12 young person an Example you can be an example back in your own church and one of the most important things as We in a few days, we'll leave here and go back to our home churches some of course go to college first.

One of the most important things is to be able to contextualize What you receive here to adjust it or adapted it on our simple To contextualize it back into your home situation. That's gonna take a lot of this.

You don't run home and say well, no and we did it this way. Why don't we do it this way in our church? No, that is being completely foolish. That's how not to communicate and I will tell you if we would learn more about communication.

If we would learn more of when to speak and when not. If we would realize more that it's our example. That's going to make the difference in our own church or a fellowship or Christian Union or wherever it may be.

Then we could see a greater Foundation, you know this part of me that's actually opposed these big events like this. You know, this is big for an evangelistic effort in which everybody is out witnessing.

It's big. And it's part of me that opposes this but I believe that the good outweighs the problems. Everything in life has the straw factor a Campaign like this will have its straw back. That's like when you get married.

They'll be the straw back if you think you're marrying an old wheat wheat woman. You're crazy. They don't exist. I got the last one. Somebody doesn't believe it. She doesn't actually but the reason I say it is because our burden is Not evangelism as a campaign our first burden in OM is evangelism as a lifestyle.

You write it down Evangelism as a lifestyle that means it's seven days a week. It means it's 365 days a year. It means it cannot be separated from your life. Love joy peace long-suffering gentleness.

Any group That can combine dynamic strategy as Mickey will be teaching as others will be teaching any group that can combine dynamic strategy with dynamic lifestyle is going to win in this decade in terms of God's.

And we are committed to that. Even though I'm sure it's a long road. That's why if we are willing to walk out in the streets and talk to somebody about Jesus Christ and bang on their door. When they may not want someone to bang on their door.

They may be making their chips. Or wiping their little taking care of a little baby or something and you bang on the door. It's gonna slip. We'll cut that out of the tape but If you're willing to do that and go out in that kind of evangelism, but you're unwilling to invite anyone into your home.

Oh. Someone of another another culture in my home. What if they forget to wipe their feet at my little mat on the door you ever seen these little mats to have them in America. It says welcome. It's a joke.

But uh, you know if we're not willing to open our home to people of other backgrounds and other races. And and something rings foul my ears. I Know that needs wisdom. I know that needs balance. I know getting involved with people is Something which you must understand your own limitations.

I'm not asking you go down to the pub and bring in a whole crowd. You know 50 people bring them all in make your first Indian carry probably destroy them. You may want to start with one person That wouldn't be too big a challenge and I stand guilty because I have a Hindu man who runs a little shop around the corner from my house and I have Thought of asking him in for tea so many times.

I hardly I'm hardly ever there and I haven't got around to it yet. I've talked to him Not my other neighbor in. I haven't got that dear Hindu man come in yet cup. And I'm without excuse I Fail. Let's not just be those young people who are willing to run off to a foreign city and go down the streets with a few tracks and Bang on a few doors as much as I believe in that but let's be those people who make this week a week of laying foundations in our lives.

Getting something sorted out getting our priorities sorted out and determining that for us Evangelism will be a lifestyle. Now to do that to be involved in that you're gonna have to have a lot of spiritual but quite a few people ask me How can I pray for you.

Persevering in Ministry Amid Discouragement

This may sound strange, but I would ask you to pray That I may not in my 40s where I am now. It's supposed to be mid-life Christ. I never felt it because to me all of life is one horrendous Christ. But I just would ask you to pray that somehow.

In my 40s OM has become so big so complex so many that I As far as I know I've never lost it for a day a few hours. I Battle a lot of discouragement. I'm way too idealistic. I need spiritual balance pray for that.

I don't Like to speak on that so much anymore because my daughter Told me some years ago that I'm extreme now in this whole area of balance. I'm trying to get the balance and not speak about balance. It's getting more confusing by the week.

But pray for me pray my wife Very well right now that we may not lose Spiritual. I tell you sometimes if someone had asked me this morning how I felt I would have said rocky in round 14. Obviously you don't go to films.

I Don't recommend that film, but it was a great challenge when I went to it because I Will tell you in my Christian life trying to evangelize the communist world the Muslim world the Hindu world trying to work for renewal within the church trying to see 1600 full-time workers fed and clothed and given the tools to do the job across the world while simultaneously Recruiting another 2 ,000 to join in the summer and a few other problems on top sometimes I feel a little bit like rocky in 13th, but he got up and he won fight and My Savior has already won my fight and so though I may get knocked down and I may feel miserable and I may feel discouraged and I may sense enemy intimidation and I may be mystified how God can ever use such a worm as I.

I am going to get up and Get back into the battle. And if there's any of you that are on the mat or you're out of the ring or you're in the grandstands. Even though you're sitting right there. You're running.

Emotionally mentally spiritually you're running just like Jonah. And I pray you would renew your commitment to God to God's Word and to battle. He has called us to here this week and for the rest of our lives.

Spiritual Warfare and the Armor of God

It's a battle in prayer. It's a battle in evangelism. It's a battle against lust. It's a battle against discouragement. It's a battle against all the all sin. We haven't got time tonight to give you a Bible course on the theology of spiritual warfare.

You're going to have to do that on your own in the months and years to come meditating and memorizing passages like Ephesians chapter 6 and many many other Very important passages on this subject Corinthians 15 58 be steadfast unmovable always abounding in the work of the Lord.

Knowing that your labor is not in vain in Satan is going to counter-attack. What takes place here? Be ready people. Get back home maybe even during Satan is gonna counter-attack anyone who professes faith in Jesus Christ, and you know, we have a little policy I know em I'd like to mention it to you is that when people make a decision for Christ We do not consider that a conversion.
