A girl, bound and gagged, was thrown into a deep pit. She was about to give up all hope when a rock climber propelled down to her, untied her ropes, and brought her back to the surface. "It's going to be OK," he said, carrying her to the safety of the waiting helicopter. "You're going to be OK. I've got you." Way too often we feel like the girl in this story. The things of this world have a way of oppressing us to such an extent that we only see the darkness (fear, hatred, loss and violence) instead of the light (love, hope and peace) that God offers. But God is like the rock climber – always ready to extend His saving grace toward us. We are more than conquerors, because we have been given everything needed to overcome all attacks of the enemy…

Armor of God
By putting on the Armor of God (Eph. 6), we direct ourselves to move out of the grasp of the enemy and into God's protection. Through this process, our human desires get switched for God's desires, so that we can declare the attacks of the enemy to be unlawful and are to be prohibited. Then we are positioned to pray in earnest for all who God has set apart for a purpose.
Belt of Truth
Unveil hidden truths that reveal the strength that comes with being a Son or Daughter of God. This renews the mind, allowing our creative capacity to be expanded.
Breastplate of Righteousness
Display God's healing power after getting attacked by the enemy. You cannot be destroyed because you are under God's protection, and that your inner man (mind, will and heart) has been cleansed.
Feet Shod With The Gospel Of Peace
Endure all situations under God's authority. This gives you the ability to stand for the good news of God's wholeness.
Shield of Faith
Enter the door of opportunity that opens during warfare so that you can be persuaded by God of all that is true and trustworthy. This will suppress the attacks of the enemy.
Helmet of Salvation
Put a higher value on God's rescue attempts. He is not just one who staves off destruction. He wants to deliver you out of destruction and into His safety.
Sword of Spirit
Gain retribution by allowing yourself to be moved by the considerable force of God's dynamic, living and spoken word, issued on the authority of the Creator and Owner of All Things.
This is not the time to dwell in darkness. Now is time to awaken to all that we, God's warriors, have been given to live, move and have our being in the light!

Mary knew it was time to teach her daughter a lesson. She instructed: "Throw your doll in the air and see what happens." Now this was a special doll. It had positive magnets on its hands and feet. As the girl threw the doll in the air, her mother lifted up a powerful negative magnet. "Why are they together now, Mommy?" asked the little girl. "Just like these magnets, you will be attracted to all the negative things in this world," she answered. "I want you to remember this lesson. Remember that God will always be there you, guiding and protecting you. There is no thing that will ever separate you from His love."

A bar owner brought "Randy," a sheet of shiny steel, in an alley to protect it from the fight causing thousands of dollars in damage inside. It glowed for many months when the sun hit, causing all to see that it was protected. "I am valued," he boasted that which was around him. But the bottles, cans, plastic bags, and other garbage didn't believe him, and kept telling him that he was trash. "You are no better than us," they said. "They threw you out here to decay, to wither away, until you are nothing." One day, in a raging thunderstorm with a torrential downpour, Randy gave up. He accepted the words of the trash around him. All the protective coating he had been given slowly disappeared, and he was left unguarded to face the elements of the world. Over time, he became riddled with holes, rusted and decayed beyond recognition.

Skylar, 16, was overwhelmed with the scattered papers she had to clean from the sewing machine table before her beau arrived to court her. Her grandmother handed her a piece of paper at the bottom of the stack and told her: "This is the secret to a long marriage." "But it is just a ripped page from your cookbook," Skylar said. Her grandmother bent down and whispered in her right ear: "Look closer." She did exactly that, and found one topic…Preserves. The two walked to the rose garden and the elderly woman got down on all fours and started to dig a hole – shallow, and long. Skylar watched and soon saw jars and jars of peach preserves.
