This is the message (not exact words) that Pastor Brad shared New Years Eve, just thought I would share it. Its very good so I feel I should share it with yall. 
Your in a battle with satan everyday, no matter what you do. Don't repeat '06. Satan is going to come at you even more this year, he's going to attack you with the same things as last year and even some new things. Are you brave enough to stop sitting back like so many Christians do? Are you brave enough to be the one to stand up for God? Are you ready to move to the front line of the battle and fight for God?!?
These are the keys you will need if you are going to move to the front line and start showing more people the way to God.
1. Have a plan. You have to have a plan of attack! You can't just run up there without a plan, you'll be slaughtered. "Without a vision my people will parish." (Don't remember where it says that! I could write fast enough! lol)
2. Be equipped. Put on full armor. Ephesians 6:10 talks about the armor of God. The belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation. You must have full armor. When getting ready for any battle you have to put on your armor, no different with a spiritual battle.
3. Have a weapon. Your Bible is your weapon! Do not go unarmed!! The sword of the Spirit! The word of God! You can not go into a battle without a weapon. You must read your Bible, learn the word of God. If you run into a battle without a weapon what are you going to do to attack? Pick up a rock and throw it at em??? You'd get laughed at! If your out there tryin to get people saved and you don't know the word what are you going to say when they are asking questions like "Why do you believe that stuff? What makes you so sure Gods real? You can't see him!" You can just say "Oh, I go to (enter your church name here, i.e) New Life Worship Center, you should come! My youth pastor will answer all your questions!" No, you have to know the word!
Get on the front line people! God is tired of searching for people to fight for him! He looks in a classroom goes "who's going to fight for me? Who will stand up for me?" Be that somebody!
Don't be a chicken! Your youth pastor can't go to school with you goes "Oh, you need to witness to her. Ohhh, he really needs your help." No, they can't do that! We have to do it! Its to big of a job for one person. "The theif comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." John 10:10.
Last night (Wednesday night) there was another one that was similier but it was about goals, and setting your goals but I'm tired of typing right now so if yall want to hear that one, let me know!
Front Line
Your in a battle with satan everyday, no matter what you do. Don't repeat '06.
