Just a little bit over one week ago, I had the joy of teaching on the armor of God at the PSL Simulcast event. Ephesians chapter six blew our minds and helped us to gird ourselves with the equipment we need to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.
I loved every minute of it!
Those of us who gathered together in Huntsville, Alabama had an incredible time. And, if you were in one of the groups that participated from another location, I am praying that you sensed the Spirit of God just as much as we did. Because we most certainly did! We learned and laughed and dug in deeply to the Scriptures together.
(Please leave a post and tell me about your group . . . or were you alone? I want to know all about it!)
During one of the sessions, I very purposefully and intentionally took time to read a list of Scriptural promises about who we are in Christ – the inheritance package that came with our salvation. So many of you have asked if I could provide you with that list. I’m so happy to share it with you now.
While we don’t have the space for me to give it to you in its entirety on this page, you can expect to find the list in the Armor of God Bible Study that will be available in August!
Until then, please feel free to print and copy and duplicate this list! Repeat it and rehearse it and remember it. THIS is who you are in Christ!
