Claiming God’s ArmorEph 6:11-18

“Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle 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.

Page 8: Issachar Coaching Cluster

Claiming God’s ArmorTherefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, 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 breastplate of righteousness in place,

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.

Key Principle

The Cost of Change

Page 18: Issachar Coaching Cluster

What are some implications of being transformed into the image

and likeness of Jesus (Rom 8:29ff) and people’s overall

resistance to change?

Is it possible to remain the same and grow in Christ-likeness?

Page 19: Issachar Coaching Cluster

Key Principle:

The Cost of Remaining the Same (Slow Death) must be greater

than the Cost of the Change plus the First Steps of Change or

change will not occur!!!

Medical Illustration:

Doctor: “Loose 40 pounds or you’ll have a heart attack w/in 12 to 18 monthsMan: “I’ll start tomorrow, NOT”

Page 22: Issachar Coaching Cluster

18 Months Later- Man is in ER with a mild heart attack Doctor: “Loose the 40 lbs or this time next year I’ll be dating your lovely wife!!! Not really, but someone will be!”Man: “So my choices are stay the same and die or loose weight and live?

Page 23: Issachar Coaching Cluster

Statistically- At this point, the average American male changes his diet and begins exercising.

Cost of remaining the same, slow death, outweighs the Cost of Change!!!

Page 24: Issachar Coaching Cluster

THE REST OF THE STORY

Statistically- Within two years, 85% of men revert back to former

patterns of behavior and leave a widow for someone to date!

Change is Hard!!

Page 25: Issachar Coaching Cluster

Biblical Illustration

The Children of Israel faced genocide in Egypt. Yet, when God delivers them out of Egypt, what

you they say when faced with challenges in the desert?

Change is Hard!!
