"Full Armor of God"

The High School kids had a great time as they headed out to Camp Bethel for their summer retreat. The Lord did an awesome job of speaking directly to their hearts about Spiritual Readiness...The Lord did a neat work in each of the High School kids...many rededicated their lives back to God.

"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 strength 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 you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breast plate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God, And pray in the spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints." Ephesians 6:10-18
