Dianne Thornton doc Standing Firm in Christ: Biblical Principles for Fighting Spiritual Battles

God has given each Christian access to His Holy Armory—a storehouse of body armor and divine weapons that equip us to STAND FIRM against attacks from Satan. Understanding how to fully utilize this gear is essential for every believer’s protection in a world where our battles are not against flesh and blood. STANDING FIRM IN CHRIST: Biblical Principles for Fighting Spiritual Battles, by Dianne Thornton, explores the armor of God and the weapons of spiritual warfare through the person and character of Jesus Christ. This 8-week study offers a fresh perspective on the armor of God. For each piece, we examine how it relates to a Name of God from the Old Testament, and how it is fulfilled in Jesus Christ. Wearing the armor of God is not so much about “praying it on,” although prayer is an essential weapon in our arsenal, but about how we live! When we stand firm in who Christ is, and who we are in Him, we can stand firm against our enemy and experience victory.
