First aid kit being ready to help someone in time of need

Often times we can share our testimony but find it hard to help others come to the decision we've made to follow Jesus. Corrie ten Boom in Tramp for God, gives advice to use the Word of God, our job is to share it, not convince people.

What's in the first aid kit? First, we have protective gear for ourselves and others. Like a hazmat suit or sunscreen. Radiation is unseen but will kill us or create mutations/cancer. "I'm here to help you, put this on" Matt 25:36

• Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. (Eph 6:10)
• We know the gospel is the power of God unto salvation (Romans 1:16-17). Know 1 Cor 15 (resurrection power!)
• Illustrations for Power of God: riding the current, biking downhill, catching the wind in the sail, bird hovering in the updraft
• Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. (Eph 6:11)
• "I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me." Matt 25:36
• Rags to Riches, how the Holy Spirit changes us everyday
• But let us who live in the light be clearheaded, protected by the armor of faith and love, and wearing as our helmet the confidence of our salvation. 1 Thes 5:8
• Fighting against evil rulers, authorities unseen, mighty evil spirits in heavenly places (Eph 6:12)
• Faithful with gifts, fruitfully abiding and filled with the Holy Spirit
• understand the Lord's will, filled with the Holy Spirit (Eph 5:16-19)

 Sword of the spirit

For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, 2 Cor 10:4-5
