The Armor of God10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12For 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. 13Therefore 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. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. |

 Gentlemen and ladies called to serve, I’m excited to be the Young Men’s Tampa Bay Vida Nueva 7 Director for fall 2006, Nov. 17-19. Why? Because I’ve seen great things happen on the Vida Nueva weekend and I’ve seen the results of the Holy Spirit filling the campground with God’s love. I invite you to be a part of this spiritual (pre-Thanksgiving) weekend and understand why Ephesians 6:10-18 is an important part of my daily prayer life. You need to know, gentlemen and ladies, if you don’t already, that like it or not, we are in a war – a cultural war, a war on Christianity, a war on our beliefs. The Enemy’s message runs counter to God’s message for our lives: to be righteous and holy. And when we do stand up for God, we quickly realize are in the minority and are under enormous peer pressure to conform to the world, not the Word. This is a time in young men’s development where understanding the world and God’s plan for their lives is so critical – because they are so vulnerable at this transition stage in their lives. So it seems appropriate that the theme for the Young Men’s Vida Nueva 7 weekend is Stand Strong. Ephesians 6: 10-18 tells us emphatically that “Our fight is not against people on earth but against the rulers and authorities and powers of this world’s darkness, against the spiritual powers of evil in the heavenly world. That is why you need to put on God’s full armor. Then…you will be able to stand strong, and when you have finished the whole fight, you will still be standing. So stand strong...To do this you must always be ready.” (New Century Version) I am calling on you to join us as we equip ourselves with God’s shield of faith and His sword of the spirit. The spring 2006 VN theme was “Godside” and the young men took up that battle cry. The Tres Dias men’s fall theme is “Battle Ready.” Do you see a pattern here? There must be a reason why the Lord is telling us to equip ourselves spiritually. So let’s Stand Strong together and make this a powerful weekend for the Lord, the candidates and the team. As I said at the beginning, I’m already excited, and I look forward to serving with you this weekend. I can’t wait to see who will join God’s army for VN 7. Your servant in Christ, Dan Casseday, Director, Young Men’s VN #7 |
