Our young people are being targeted like never before in history. They are facing challenges & are exposed to more evils than any generation before them. GOD’S ARMOR & ARSENAL is for this specific time in history. With GOD’S ARMOR & ARSENAL, there is no need for our young people to feel scared, anxious or confused. Never again will they feel inadequate or not enough. They will march boldly into each day knowing they belong to God & have the entire Kingdom of Heaven backing them. They are heirs of God, friends of God, kings & queens, mighty warriors & God’s Ambassadors! They are more than enough!

Through a dynamic, twelve-week adventure, each young person will discover that they are children of the most high God, loved beyond measure & made beautifully in the likeness of a mighty God. They will realize the power, protection & countless blessings that are available to them through learning & obeying God’s word.

GOD’S ARMOR & ARSENAL will cultivate a love for God’s word through demonstrating how the Bible isn’t just a set of rules, but the Living Word of God that can be used to bless them & win every spiritual battle so they can occupy every good & wonderful thing God has prepared for them.

HOW TO USE THIS BOOK: The next twelve weeks are divided into twelve phases based on Ephesians 6:10-20. Each phase is divided into the following fun, easy to use, challenging & exciting elements:

• BATTLE PREP: A special element just for you, the leader of young warriors, which will help prepare your heart & mind for each service.
• WEAPONS ASSIGNMENT: This is our Bible verse & each new Bible verse that we learn is another weapon added to our arsenal.
• COMBAT TRAINING: A powerful message from the Bible that illustrates how spiritual battles are won with God’s word.
• RECONNAISSANCE: A deeper look inside the message that will initiate engaging conversation & thought.
