About our Guest:


Luanne Botta is an author, Bible teacher and speaker who brings
the gospel to life through the Word and personal testimony. 
Her high energy and joyful spirit of encouragement bring an
authentic transparency, making her an endearing and powerful
speaker. As a high school teacher at a private Christian academy
for almost 20 years, well-liked by her students, Luanne found
herself in a unique role, guiding hundreds of young people
through God’s Word with her uncompromising, take-no-prisoners way
of speaking the truth while still showing them unconditional
love. Her passion was igniting them to live their lives with a
higher standard than the culture around them. From these years of
ministry and the heartache experienced by her students in their
teen years, Luanne authored two books to equip young people with
the truth, Young Hearts. Pure Lives (for girls), and The Warrior
Within (for guys). She served on the team for national singer,
speaker and author, Kathy Troccoli, traveling the country as part
of a ministry that has ushered thousands of women to the throne
of God’s grace. The release of Luanne’s  newest book,
Spiritual Warfare and the Armor of God, will be out May 2021!


Scripture: 


Armor of God


Ephesians 6:10-17 (NASB)- Finally, be strong in the Lord and
in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God,
so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes
of the devil. For our struggle is not
against flesh and blood, but against the rulers,
against the powers, against the world forces of
this darkness, against
the spiritual forces of wickedness in the
heavenly places.Therefore, take up the full armor of
God, so that you will be able to resist on the evil
day, and having done everything, to stand firm. Stand firm
therefore, having belted your waist with truth, and
having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and
having strapped on your feet the preparation of the gospel
of peace; in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith
with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming
arrows of the evil one.  And
take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the
Spirit, which is the word of God.


Gird your loins with the Gospel of Truth –


John 14:6 (NASB) Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth,
and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.”


Breast Plate of Righteous –


2Corinthians 5:21(NASB) He made Him who knew no sin to
be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the
righteousness of God in Him.


Shod your feet with the Gospel of Peace –


John 14:27 (NASB) "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to
you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your
heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.



Take up the Shield of Faith –


Romans 4:20-21 (NASB)  yet, with respect to
the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong
in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully
assured that what God had promised, He was able
also to perform.


 


The Helmet of Salvation


2Corinthians 10:3-6 (NASB)- For though we walk in the flesh, we
do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare
are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction
of fortresses.  We are destroying speculations and
every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God,
and we are taking every thought captive to the
obedience of Christ, 


 


The Sword of the Spirit which is the Living Word of God


1John 4:4 (NASB)- You are from God, little children,
and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in
you than he who is in the world.


Isaiah 54:17 (NASB)- No weapon that is formed against you will
succeed;
And you will condemn every tongue that accuses you in
judgment.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
And their vindication is from Me,” declares the Lord.


Hebrews 4:12a (NASB)-  For the word of
God is living and active, and sharper than any
two-edged sword.
