The most important strength you can have is spiritual strength. External strength is not as strong as the spiritual strength.

Eph 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

Eph 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

You have an enemy that wants to take you out whose name is Satan, but you have a greater power. You will have to take up your armour.

Eph 6:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

One of the most important pieces of armour, your feet shod with the Gospel

1. Sharing the Gospel takes preperation
   
   You may not ever feel that you are to be a Billy Ghram, but you can lead people to the Gospel. You need to prepare yourself to do that. You need to have a plan.


2. God is telling us not to wait for a sinner to come to us, we go to them. That is why we have the shoes. Jesus approached sinners, why cannot we. The righteous should be as bold as a lion. We are not to be ashamed.


3. Remember that where ever you go you are walking with the testimony of Christ. You are a testimony in all actions that you do. You need to carry your integratity wherever you go. You need to be truly living so that your walk may match your talk.
