D. The weapons of our warfare, 2 Corinthians 10.3-5.

(2 Corinthians 10:3-5, ESV) For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. [4] For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments [5] and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ.

1. The Whole Armor of God, Ephesians 6.11.

2. Authority (by identification and organic unity with Christ), Ephesians 1.13.

3. The Word of God, Ephesians 6.17.

4. The Shield of Faith, Ephesians 6.16.

5. The Blood of Christ and the word of their testimony, Revelation 12.10-11.

E. Soon, God’s rule will consummate in the Age to Come at the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, Romans 16.20.

IV. Implications for Church Plant Team Leaders.

A. You must be a submitted disciple under the authority of Christ in order to represent his rule.

1. Others will follow you as you follow Christ.

(1 Corinthians 11:1, ESV) Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.

2. When disciples are fully trained they will be like the one who trained them.

(Luke 6:40, ESV) A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher.
