Pastor Richard "Buddy" Wimberly "Be Strong" Ephesians 6:10-13

• Our strength doesn't come through us, it comes from Christ.
• We should be strong in the Lord.
• We can do nothing without the Lord.
• We become strong by putting on the whole armor of God.
• When we become saved, our life is not our own. We will move into the Spirit which dwells inside us. Our identity is in the blood of Christ. 
• Wiles-tricks
• Satan is a liar, this is his known attribute. 
• Our fight isn't against other humans, but against the spiritual realm.
• The change will come when our hearts become changed.
• The only way a life can change is when Jesus is implanted in the heart.
• When we go on our strength, we'll fail; however, if we go on God's strength, we will remain true.
• Real Christianity is not a half-hearted commitment--it's all or nothing. You have to have absolute surrender. You can't have complacency.
• If we're going to be a warrior for Christ, we have to start training now.
• After we put on the whole armor, our responsibility now is to trust God. 
• When you've done all you can do, just stand and trust God.
• Our confidence should be in Christ.
