Welcome!

Isn't it true that all of us are "Walking It Out" day by day with the Lord? We are in this journey together—perhaps in different stages and circumstances, but certainly not alone. Let us help each other by lifting one another up and being encouraged to continue on this marvelous journey. In the end, this journey will lead us to the face of God.

"Walking It Out" is a Sunday school class offered at Praise Assembly in Springfield, Missouri, and taught by Doug and Nancy Thomas. We are glad you came to visit us here at this site and hope that you find something helpful in your own faith as you are "Walking It Out."

Fighting the Battle

Ephesians 6:10-11 tells us how to fight a spiritual battle. When we fight a spiritual battle, we must leave the worldly ways of warfare behind. Those methods will fail in a spiritual battle. And when we do fail, having used our own strength and our own weapons of warfare, we tend to blame God.

If you try to battle sin with human strength and human logic, you will fail. But it won't be God's fault! It wasn't that God abandoned you...it was because you abandoned what He has given you. He has provided spiritual tools for a spiritual battle, yet you chose earthly tools.

Think of it this way... You can't fix a diesel engine with a jeweler's tiny screwdriver.

So pick up God's tools He's given you the armor (described in Ephesians 6) and He's given you the strength. Once you put on the full armor of God, you will be strong, and you can win!
