So physical fitness is important. And when we talk physical fitness, when we talk readiness, you know, there's a lot of elements to physical fitness. You know, we're not saying you have to go run a marathon every weekend. But you do have to be physically fit. So our physical fitness is one of the things that we rely on best to be ready because it springboards into everything else. We talk medical readiness to, you know, make sure that we're up to date on our annual physicals, our immunizations, taking care of ourself properly if we are feeling ill one day and not just sloughing it off and saying, oh, I'll get over it. Intercept, take care. Spiritual readiness, when we talk about it, isn't necessarily tied to your religion or implying that you need to have a religion. It is your spiritual readiness within yourself. What are you using within yourself to, you know, relieve your stress, find your calm, and we draw from our warrior ethos, as you had mentioned, our warrior spirit, you know, that we're raised with from the beginning. That spiritual readiness must be with us at all times. And the tie to family readiness is your ombudsman or your key person or your branch services equivalent. The CO and the CMC will contact the ombudsman in open communication, and they'll give them the information that they need to help the families get through that period of non-communication. So do you have a contingency plan?  If you're TAD for three weeks or five days, and you get extended on that TAD, what's your backup plan for your home, for your family, your child care? It's very important, in fact, critically important, that you have an up-to-date at the ready family care plan. So we have to be ready 24-7 for the unexpected and not leave that to our families to have drop in their laps. Don't wait until that moment comes up unexpectedly. Have it ready now. Pre-planning is critical to family readiness. Professional readiness includes preparation for your advancement exams, for those who take them, for your professional qualification standards, or your PQS. By keeping up with your damage control, your 3M training, professional military education, or PME, that's available on NKO, and getting ahead of the game. And not struggling to keep up with the game in your professional arena. You have to stay in that learning mode. And I've found out through the last 31 years that by doing the GMT regularly and by doing, you know, courses that aren't related to my rate online, or you know, doing things that challenge my skill set or my brain to learn something new, whether it's learning chess, or it's learning at next level in damage control. It's keeping my mind active and in a learning mode. And that's what professional readiness is about. Knowing everything that you can about your rate at the pay grade level that's expected and in the next level expected, so that you're prepared to enter that next level. Don't wait for things to happen to you. Make them happen for you.


What's going on, everybody? Welcome back to the Power BI Tutorial series. Today, we're taking a look at all types of visualizations. Now, when you're working in Power BI, there are a lot of different options to create visualizations and you may not always be sure which one to use and so that's what this video is for. I'm gonna walk you through a lot of the visualizations that I like and I use a lot, as well as kind of point out some of the ones that I don't like as much so that you get kind of a feel for the ones that I think are really popular and that are used the most. So without further ado, let's jump into Power BI and start taking a look. All right, before we jump into it, there is a link in the description where you can get the data that we're gonna be using for these visualizations if you want to practice them yourself. Before we actually get into it, we do need to combine this and if you download that Excel and you see this, you'll have to do the same thing. All we have to say is that this product ID is the same as this product ID purchased and now we are good to go. Do one to many and it's okay if it's one way. So right over here under this visualizations tab, there are lots of different options and it can be a little bit overwhelming. You don't really know which one to choose. There are some in here that I have almost never used for my job ever. So I'll point those out as we go through but the main focus is gonna be focusing on the ones that I do use that I have used and showing you how to actually create that visualization, maybe spice it up just a little bit but we have a lot of them to go through so let's jump right into it and the very first one that we're gonna start with, probably the easiest one and the one that you'll recognize the most is a stacked bar chart and what we are going to do is go ahead right over here to the product name and we want this unit sold as well. So we're gonna click product name and it's gonna go straight into the y-axis for us and then we're gonna click unit sold and that will go into the x-axis. Automatically it just kind of intuitively knows but sometimes it will make a mistake and then you can just fix it or flip it and we do want this, let me make this much larger, we do want this to be a little bit more color coded, that is what this legend is down here so what we're going to do is drag this product name down to the legend and now we have each product as its own color and in previous videos we have gone through and looked at some of these visual and general options that you have when you're actually creating these visualizations but we're gonna do some of them while we're in here as well. So we're just gonna go down here, we're gonna choose data labels and we're going to shrink that and if you go higher, the higher you go the less you see so if you want all of them all the way down to the green we're gonna go right about there and we're gonna make it smaller. So now we can go ahead and click anywhere outside of that visualization and now we can create a new one if we had just kept it like this where we were still interacting with this visualization and we clicked on a different one it would have then changed our visualization completely which we don't want. Let's hit control Z, click out of it and now we can create a new one. Let's go right over here to this 100% stacked column chart I'm gonna click on it, drag it over here and make it much larger and we're gonna come right over here to this customer information and we're gonna click on customer and then we're gonna go up to unit sold and click on unit sold and we wanna break these out and so basically what this is doing is it's breaking it out by each of these shops and we can see the total of what they're buying the units sold but we wanna see exactly what products make up this percentage or this 100% so we're gonna go right over here to product name we're gonna drag that down to the legend and as you can see now we have each of these products and each of the products is up here so this backpack we can see the backpack right here backpack right here and right here and we can see which customer is buying what percentage of their purchases so for this prep for anything prepping store they have a very large percentage 40% is duct tape so they're buying a lot of duct tape so really quickly we're able to see what clients are purchasing or which clients are purchasing what products the most so just like this Alex Analyst Apocalypse Preppers they're buying a lot of water purifiers we like drinking clean water that's just what my audience likes and so we can easily get a quick glance of that again we're gonna go in here I tend to like putting these data labels on here that's just what I preference so you know something like this it looks nice it looks clean we can always go back and change these names which we'll do for this one so we're gonna go over here we'll go to title we'll go down to the text and we'll do customer oops customer purchase oh geez breakdown pretend I'm really good at spelling and we're gonna do it just like that we'll get out of there so now we have customer purchase breakdown and that looks really nice it's a good visualization and we're gonna bring that right over here we're gonna have a lot on the screen so I may have to make them smaller or larger to fit everything alright so let's go on to our next one another really common visualization is this one right here which is the line chart and the line chart is great especially when you're using things like dates I have found this one to be the best and a lot of people use this as well so we're gonna go right over here and click on date purchased and then units sold and on the X axis you can see it's broken up by year quarter month and day so we don't wanna do it that high level we only have three months of data in here so we're gonna get rid of the year we're gonna get rid of the quarter and then we at least have this and let's break it out because right now we're looking at all of the units sold so we're gonna drag the product name right down here to the legend and now it breaks it out by the actual product and for each month in January, February or March you can follow these products and see how they did in each of those months and if we wanted to we can come right over here to the filter on the product name and we could filter it by maybe the top three so let's do multi-tool survival knife the nylon rope and the duct tape and we can have it just like this and you can do those for any product that you want but again we just wanna do it for those three just for an example and that really doesn't give us a ton of information we can even go down to the day and it might give us a little bit more information and so we'll keep it like that and we can go over here change the name as well we're not gonna do this for all of them again we're just looking at the different types of visualizations that I think are really good to know but we'll change this one as well to products purchased by date and we'll keep it just like that again nothing fancy we're just trying to look at a bunch of different stuff so let's put this over here down here now let's click out of there and there are other ones in here that are definitely useful and you absolutely can use like this one is a stacked bar chart this one is a stacked column chart basically the same thing just a different orientation like we went to here just a different orientation it's the same thing just like this clustered bar chart custom column chart it's just its orientation either horizontal or vertical then we have things like an area chart stacked area chart not really things that I've used too much in previous positions one that I have used though is a line and clustered column chart so it kind of combines a few of these with you know you have these bar charts as well as line charts into one visualization so let's look at this one because this is one that I have used several times in my actual job so for our x axis we'll use the product name then we'll look at something like the price and so let's make this a lot larger so you can actually see it so now we have the price and now we can look at something like the production cost and that can be our line y axis so now we're looking at the price of it how much someone is actually paying for it and then we're looking at how much it's costing us to actually produce that product and so really quickly at a glance you can kind of see that it's around the halfway to two thirds point on most of these you can see that the production cost is always lower than the actual price because of course we're out here to make a profit on these products let's minimize this one we're gonna put this one right down here let's make it even smaller let's click out of that and the next one that we're gonna take a look at is a scatter chart so let's click on that and make it much larger there we go so let's use the price and the production cost again and so our x axis is the price our y axis is the production cost but now we need to fill in this values right here so let's go over here and click on the product name and drag that into values and so now we have our values we just don't know what they are but we can see it so let's drag this down to legend as well and it breaks it out and we kind of have this scatter plot and for this fake data that we're using it doesn't really show a lot but if you're using real data you can definitely find outliers and trends and patterns using this type of visualization let's go ahead and make that one small as well I get right down into the corner now let's go right over here and we have the dreaded pie charts and donut chart now look I think it's kind of a joke in the data analyst community about pie charts and donut charts but at the same time people use them and they request them and so sometimes you're going to use it whether you like it or not so let's click on the donut chart and let's make this one a lot larger and let's go over here and let's click on state and we're also gonna click on total purchased and that's really all you have to do these ones are pretty straightforward you can change a few different things like where these labels are if you want them inside you can also do that and that would look totally fine again I'm just not a super huge fan but you will get this one requested people like this and want to see it and the reason a lot of analysts don't like using this is because when you start glancing at these it's really hard to tell the difference between these sizes if you look at something like this you can easily see that this is larger like if you're looking at this one the multi-tool survival knife is obviously the longest and it gets shorter, shorter, shorter, shorter but when you start getting in here it's really hard to approximate the size I would not be able to tell the difference between this 5.63, 5.78, 7.72 I would not be able to tell really the difference between these or kind of the difference between them very easily that's why a lot of people don't want to use them in general so again I want to show you this one because I think it's worth noting and worth knowing how to use but I don't really push people towards this because I don't think it's the best visualization available most of the time All right, the next two are super easy but are used all the time maybe more than some of these even but they're just so easy to use so I'm kind of saved them for last this one is the card and all the card is is it displays one number or multiple numbers if you want to use a multi-row card but we'll just look at the card for now all we're going to look at is the total purchased and it's just going to display it just like this and you can make it as large or as small as you'd like and normally it goes on like the top and you'll put a card here, a card here just for example, I'll kind of show you how this might look so it looks something like this right and at the top it'll have different usually high overarching information and this is super common to see and I'm sure if you've looked at other people's visualizations you'll see something like this this is usually totals or averages or something like that in here where it's super easy to look at so like right here this is total purchased and we can go in and look at the minimum and then we can go over here and this one can be a count and so it gives us a lot of information just at a really quick glance and then we have all of our more in-depth colorful visualizations that kind of have more information than just a single piece like the card does and then the very last one that I'm going to show you is this one right here which is the table and this one is obviously extremely popular it's like in a little Excel table and we can go in here and we can get the customer wherever that is and then we'll also get the unit sold and this is what it looks like and it's super easy and oftentimes you'll have it like on the side as well and all the other visualizations over here and so if we're gonna take all these visualizations and pretend they were like a real thing there's a lot in here but we'll just kind of really quickly do this and we might have something like this and we'll make this larger and make this wider and we have a lot of information just in here and this is not a project so don't go put this on your portfolio I'm just through a ton of random visualizations on this dashboard but you can already see a lot of these you most likely have seen in other people's work and other people's visualizations on LinkedIn or on YouTube these are very common, very, very popular and again we did not go through all of the ones over here there are maps that you can use but I haven't used maps ever in my job there are things like gauges and decomposition trees and waterfall charts and tree maps and all these different things but I really have never used those in my actual job and I don't see them a lot in others people's work either otherwise I would be telling you to learn these and use these but again, try them out, see which ones you like if you like this video be sure to like and

In Ephesians chapter 6 verse 14, Paul writes, Stand therefore having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness. We're gonna be looking at the first portion of verse 14 as we're continuing our series that we've just begun here in chapter six related to the weapons of our warfare and or spiritual warfare. So last time when we were together, we spent time developing a closer look at the enemy that we have the devil and Paul had made it clear that we wrestle, we're in a wrestling match if you will and we wrestle, he said, against spiritual forces. He said in verse 12, we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. And so Paul made it very clear that we wrestle against spiritual forces. That word wrestle, as I mentioned to you last time, speaks of struggling in hand-to-hand combat. It speaks of a face-to-face personal combat. So we're not in a battle with human beings. We're in a battle against demonic forces. The battle obviously is spiritual. And so Paul wants us to understand that our weapons are also spiritual. That's why in verse 10, he had said, be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might. You see, by telling believers to be strong in the Lord, he's reminding us that we're saved. We are no longer taking our cues from the enemy. We are now what we'd be called kingdom citizens. Colossians 1.13 says that he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his dear son. In Philippians 3, 20 and 21, he said our citizenship is in heaven and we eagerly await a savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ who by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body. So we're kingdom citizens, but we still live on planet earth. And so because of that, Paul was pointing out that we encounter spiritual obstacles. We have an enemy, we all are familiar with this enemy. He constantly works in opposition to God. Jesus spoke of him as the father of lies. He's described in scripture as a destroyer and he has pointed out as one who seeks to ruin us in every way. When the apostle Peter was writing in 1 Peter 5, 8 and 9, this is what he said. He said, be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy, the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour, resist him, standing firm in the faith because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings. He's powerful this enemy, but Paul exhorted believers not to fear, but to trust in God. Like it says in the Old Testament in the book of Deuteronomy chapter 20, verse four, where it reads the Lord your God is he who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you the victory. In Joshua 1 9, have I not commanded you be strong and courageous, do not be frightened, do not be dismayed for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. So we need to understand that God hasn't left us defenseless. God has provided spiritual armor for us and we are to put on as Paul says, the whole armor and we're to stand against the wiles of the devil.  We don't just coast through the battles, we fully participate. But in the end, the battle is the Lord's and we enjoy the fruits of victory. That's why in 1 Corinthians 15 and verse 57, Paul said, thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Now sometimes the battles we find ourselves in are what we would call like a brief skirmish, but other times it seems as if the battle is never going to let up. When you desire to serve the Lord, often the enemy does what he can to stop you. Paul said in 1 Thessalonians 2 18, we wanted to come to you, certainly I, Paul did, again and again, but Satan blocked our way. And so the enemy is in opposition to you. Even Paul himself spoke of how Satan blocked his way to see the Thessalonians. What do we do when this happens? Well, we hold fast and we persevere. Isaiah 40 verse 31, those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles. They shall run and not be weary. They shall walk and not faint. Now, I don't want to spook you or anything, but might as well try, here we go.  Even right now I see those ankle bracelets. Every one of us has been closely monitored over our entire lives. And the enemy of our soul is aware of our strengths but he's also taken note of our weaknesses. And what he's done as he's strategized, as he's watched, as he's observed, he's devised plans and he's devised methods that he uses against us. And we see this in scripture when God spoke to Satan about Job. Remember how God had asked him a question that's found in Job chapter one, verses seven through 11. The Lord said to Satan, where have you come from? And Satan answered the Lord from roaming throughout the earth, going back and forth on it. Then the Lord said to Satan, have you considered my servant Job? There's no one on earth like him. He is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil. Well, does Job fear God for nothing? Satan replied, have you not put a hedge around him and his household and everything he has? You have blessed the work of his hands so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land.  Have you considered, was the question, that word considered, have you set your heart upon Job? Have you given him your attention? Have you scrutinized him seeking a weakness in him? And so God asked him, God is calling him to account. And God says to him, given account, have you done this? Have you set your heart on him? Are you watching him?  And to this Satan made it clear that he had but he couldn't touch him. You see Satan thought Job's wealth and status was a weakness that could be exploited. He also thought his good health could be used against him. He thought by taking his family, his holdings, his servants, his health that he could turn him against God. He watched him. Have you considered him? Have you weighed him? Have you strategized against him? Yes, I have. And he had a strategy.  You know what? He's quite aware of who God's children are. That's why we put on God's armor and that's why we're to be aware of his strategies. Well, someone says, how did I get into this battle in the first place? I don't remember enlisting. Well, we entered in through salvation. When we were saved, we immediately entered into spiritual war. You see, prior to being saved, Paul made it clear in chapter two verse three here in Ephesians that we were by nature children of wrath. And all we had waiting for us before we got saved was judgment. In the Old Testament book of Ecclesiastes 12 verse 14, it simply says God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil. If you haven't given your heart to the Lord, if you haven't gotten saved, even the things you think are best hidden are what God is well aware of. And you will come to judgment and you'll give account of those things. But when we heard the gospel and when we desired Christ by faith, we received salvation, we entered into warfare. We came into a relationship with God by a decision of the will. In John 11 and 12, it says this, he speaking of Jesus came to his own and his own didn't receive him. But as many as received him to them, he gave the right to become children of God to those who believe in his name. So when we heard that gospel, when we said God be merciful to me, I'm a sinner, I have sinned in thought. I have sinned in word, I have sinned in activity. God, I'm a sinner. When he said that God forgive me a sinner, I received the forgiveness, I received the washing, I received the new life. By faith, I received Christ. Well, we were instantly brought into the family of God. We became his children. We became members of his kingdom. And at that point, God's enemy was revealed to be our enemy. We are now in spiritual conflict and we need to be armed for the battle. And because of this policy instructing his readers that we have weapons. You see, we don't war against flesh and blood. So our weapons have to be spiritual. In second Corinthians 10, three and four, it says, though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. And so God has equipped us and Paul is speaking of the war that we're in and now he's beginning to identify the weapons of our warfare. Now again, in verse 11, notice how Paul had said, put on the whole armor of God. I mentioned to you that the words put on spoke of sinking into, sink into the entire armor of God and do not leave one weapon out. And this armor is to be worn at all times. And at all times, be on the alert. But in verse 13, he said, therefore take up whole armor of God. That means to pick up or take on. So the command to put on our armor is like what he had written to the Romans in chapter 13 when he said at verse 12, that the night is far spent. The day is at hand. Let us therefore cast off the works of darkness. Let us put on the armor of light. So putting on the armor of light can be a reference to putting on the Lord Jesus Christ. Because in Romans 13, 14, he said, put on the Lord Jesus Christ, make no provision for the flesh to fulfill its last. So the various pieces of armor that we're gonna be looking at are aspects of the person of Christ that we have received when we got saved. They are essentially his qualities that he has clothed us with. We're putting on Christ. So we take up this whole armor because we're attacked in various areas. And each piece of the armor that we'll be looking at reveals something that we've received from Jesus as we'll see in a moment. Now, as Paul is writing, remember, Paul spent time under observation of the Roman guards. He was in jail. He's a jail bird. And he was aware of the Romans and he was aware of their soldiers and he used their armor as a model. You see, he'd seen Roman soldiers in their armor enough to know. One commentator pointed out, and you'll see this as we go through this, the order in which the armor is enumerated is the order in which the armor of a Roman soldier was put on. So he begins to identify for us piece by piece what he refers to as the whole armor of God. And he identifies each weapon, assuming that believers would understand that they're engaging in combat. Now, let me develop that with you for just a moment. I know I have military vets in this room, perhaps I have some combat vets. I know I have them in my, in our church, combat vets and all, but military vets will understand what I'm about to say. One thing, one of the things that a soldier needs to decide is whether he's gonna fight or not. You have to decide that. It's something you have to decide. Am I going to fight or not? You go through training, et cetera, but you really need to know, will I fight? Am I ready to fight? Do I really care to fight? You have to understand that as a soldier, you're trained to do that. But you have to make the decision to actually engage. That's something you decide to do. Am I ready to fight? I was sharing with John the other day something about when I was in the Army. And I served in Fort Bragg and Fort Bragg. The division I was in was the 82nd Airborne and we had boxing, people were boxing and they represented the division in this and that. And one of the guys was, he weighed 104 pounds. And I mean, he was just a little guy. He weighed 104 pounds and he was something like 12 and 0. He was undefeated. Undefeated is a little Filipino guy and he was undefeated. Well, the reason he was undefeated is there was nobody small enough to fight him. And so we'd go to the boxing matches and he would go out into the center of the ring. He'd lift up his little gloves and he'd bounce around like that, and they'd say in this corner and then he'd get a, he won every fight. 12 and 0, 12 times he did that. But on his 13th fight, they found someone small enough to fight him. So he stayed inside the locker room and cried. And he retired 12 and 1. Now, you know, all these years later, he sits around in some bar with his friend saying, yeah, I was 12 and 1, fought for the 82nd, but if I were there, I'd say, yeah, yeah, yeah, but you never even had a fight.  You have to. And there are a lot of people who have, all of that bravado, they have that attitude, yeah, but when it comes down to it, they're not prepared. They don't have the mind to fight. They're not ready. Paul is saying you need to be ready. Now, remember in verse 14, how it says here, stand therefore, having girded your ways with true, stand therefore. Well, in verse 13, he had said, therefore, take up the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day and having done all to stand. So it's interesting how he says, withstand. He says, stand. And then in verse 14, once again, he says, stand. Well, verse 13, that word stand, as I mentioned to you last time, speaks of taking the stand of a victor. It speaks of firmly planted feet and you're standing victorious. This is a different word than the one he used here in verse 14. In verse 14, the word stand there is actually a word that is used for taking a stand. It speaks of being ready for combat, having a mentality that you're ready for warfare, for engagement. And that's part of a warrior mentality. It's be expecting the onslaught. Be expecting, be stand, be ready for the onslaught for what is about to take place. It's not simply standing as a victor. That's where your mentality is. You enter in with the knowledge you win, but you have to be prepared for each individual fight. And so he's speaking in a different way here. It's like a lineman on the football line. He's waiting and he's got the opposing individual who's coming at him. He has to be braced and ready for what's about to take place. And that's the point he's making here. You need to be ready. You need to have a fighter's mentality. You need to be the kind of person who's entering in, not just to fight, but to win. And so he speaks of this and he says in verse 14, stand therefore having girded your waist with truth. That word waist, there's another word that is used often in the King James. It's the word loins. It's speaking of the same thing. You see Roman soldiers had an outer garment. It was called a tunic and they wore it over their armor. And to fight hand to hand, they had to secure the tunic with a belt, which is also called a girdle, which is something John wears. I'm sorry, man. I let him know, bro. I let him know. I've been teasing him about this for days. I did that on purpose, right? Anyway, I better get back to the study. You see, in order to fight hand to hand, they had to secure the tunic. They did it with a belt. Now they could handle their sword, their shield, the other weapons. They could do so undistracted. They were prepared for the fight. It's a fight that they knew they were already engaged in. Again, this is something that we do. No one else does this for me. I have to be seriously aware of a battle. I have to stand prepared. Now I'm part of a squad. I'm part of a military squad. Those of you who understand that, you were part of a squad. I've been part of a squad. I've been a squad member in the military. You're part of a squad. There are a group of men around you. You work together. You fight together. You're part of what it is. It's like a team. And so you're never really alone. The body of Christ is to be united together in opposition. And so you're an individual combat soldier, but you're part of a squad. And so what you are now is you're prepared. You're prepared on a personal level.  You never enter in with this thought I'm gonna lose. Again, you know, I grew up watching boxing. My father watched it on Friday night and Friday night boxing. So I grew up, I had an uncle who was a professional fighter. I had cousins who were boxers and stuff. And so I grew up seeing that, that kind of thing. And I learned from them they would say it and all my uncle would share it. It's not like I have some kind of combat experience in that way I don't, but I do know this, that if you're gonna enter into a battle, you have to enter in with the attitude you're gonna win or why get involved at all. Why fight at all? You have to go in saying I'm gonna win. Now sometimes people go in arrogantly, I'm gonna win and then they get knocked out in 10 seconds. You have to also know how to fight and you have to be prepared. But when you box, when you fight, when you're in a war, you have to go in and this is a very important point. I don't wanna minimize it with this knowledge. We are winners in Jesus Christ. You cannot go in thinking you're gonna lose. Anybody who enters into the ring thinking they're gonna lose, not to get in the ring. You shouldn't get in the ring.  You also go in, go in expecting, not with arrogance but with humility and awareness that you're gonna do your best. Well in Christ we never lose. We win in Jesus Christ. In Philippians 3, 13 and 14, brothers and sisters I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do, forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me, heavenward in Christ Jesus, I press towards the mark. I'm not just kinda coasting and floating, I'm moving towards it. You see Peter gave a similar charge to believers in 1 Peter 1, 13. He said, therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Rest your hope fully upon the grace. Resting in that. Knowing God, knowing who your enemy is but knowing who the victor is, Jesus Christ and we are with him. See, we individually gird our waist carefully and notice with truth. It speaks of, when he speaks of waist or loins, it speaks really, it most commonly speaks of the seat of physical strength. In the Old Testament very often it represents procreative power also. But we are girding ourselves with the strength of Christ. Jesus is truth. When we put on the Lord Jesus we are putting on truth and we're to be strengthened with truth and we're to disseminate this truth in the gospel to other people. We experience truth when we come to faith and we give this truth to others when we minister. Now the gospel of Jesus Christ is the truth of God and we're saved by this truth. Paul had said it in chapter one verses 13 and 14 here in Ephesians. When he said in him, you also have after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation, having also believed you were sealed in him with the Holy Spirit of promise who is given as a pledge of our inheritance with a view to the redemption of God's own possession to the praise of his glory. We have listened to the message, the word of truth, the gospel of our salvation and we're saved by that. So God's word is received, it's believed, it's trusted completely. And if we don't hold fast to this, we can't enter warfare with any hope of success. You see, Jesus modeled that for us when he was tempted by Satan. Satan said to Jesus, turn these stones into bread. And what did Jesus say? It is written, man doesn't live by bread alone but by every word that proceeded from the mouth of God. And then Satan, once again, attempting to test him, says, well, leap from the pinnacle of this temple for it is written that the angels, he has given charge to the angels that they will lift you up and you won't dash foot against the stone. It is also written that you are not to tempt the Lord your God. Jesus responds with scripture. He tells him, he says, look at the kingdoms of the world. All of this has been given to me and I will give it to you.  It is written, you're to worship the Lord, thy God and him only are you to serve. Every time the enemy gave to him a temptation, Jesus responded with a scripture. We have Jesus, we are clothed in him, his armor represents the essentials of him and we are to hold fast to what is actually truth. His word identifies our enemy, how he attacks and also where our strength lies. And in being certain his word is truth, we are actually equipping ourselves for battle. In Psalm 119 verse 160, it says, the entirety of your word is truth. When I first got saved, how would I know the entirety of his word? I just got saved. I couldn't even pronounce a lot of the words in the Bible. But I knew one thing and I have never veered from this. I knew that this book I have here, this Bible, it's the very word of God. I believe that with all of my heart still do. This is the very word of God. When I spoke to my father and my dad who had never even talked about God, the only time I ever heard the word God come out of his mouth was when he was blaspheming, when he used his name in vain. It's the only time I ever heard my father use the word or the name of God is when he was cussing. But when I spoke to him and my mom and when they came to faith in Christ, I pointed to the Bible and I said, mom and dad, this is the word of God. I have never had a doubt that this is the word of God. Listen, if you can believe the first few words of the Bible in the beginning God, you can believe the rest of it. But if you have a problem with the first few words in the beginning God, you're not gonna believe anything. I believe the first few words. In the beginning God and everything else flows from that. And when you have spiritual warfare, you need to know there's such a thing as truth. And I'll talk to you about that in just a moment. So Paul is speaking of a couple of things. He's speaking of content and he's speaking of holding fast to the fact that there is such a thing as truth. So it's a subtle belief that God's word is truth that you need to have. In second Timothy 3.16, all scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness. When Jesus was praying in John 17 verse 17, he said, sanctify them by your truth. Your word is truth. You see, this is important for us because we're living in an era of moral relativism. You see, if people believe it and it appeals to them, it becomes what they call their truth. You've heard it, I've heard it. Well, this is my truth and that is your truth as if truth is defined by my emotions or attachment. Truth is something that is objective. It's something outside of us.  My truth was wrong. There is such a thing as objective truth. And so we have to hold fast to that. A lot of people don't believe that. You see, we're drowning as a society in moral relativism and Proverbs 12, 15, it says the way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but he who heeds counsel is wise. And you see, the result of this is today, there are many who don't have a foundation for moral belief. Let me ask you some questions. I'm not asking you to shout out an answer, but let me ask some questions and then I'll supply the point that I'm attempting to make. They don't have foundation for moral belief. So if I ask the question, what is love? Or is it wrong to kill, to steal? Is it wrong to lie? Is it wrong or right to be unfaithful to your spouse? Is it okay? Is it morally right to engage in premarital sex? Is homosexuality acceptable? Is it okay to leave your spouse and kids for someone else if it makes you happy? Can you change your gender if you want to? Can you end the life of a baby in the womb? How about older people who can't take care of themselves? Can we kill them too? Is it wrong to get high, to get drunk? Is it wrong to gossip about someone? Can I choose my gender as pornography good? Well, how about child porn? Is that good? Should somebody else's need ever be more important than mine? Is it okay to hate people of another race? How about prostitution? There are a lot of questions in this society and a lot of you already know the answers that are being supplied for us right now. They don't have any truth. They don't hold to the word of God and therefore it's what is called morally relative. It's what you want it to be. It's how you feel about it. You see, I really believe that today confusion and moral darkness is considered sophisticated. The Bible records a conversation that Jesus had with the governor, a political official by the name of Pontius Prather, a Roman governor. In John 1837 and 38, Jesus, while he was speaking to him, said this, he said, to this end I was born and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Everyone that is of the truth, here's my voice. And Pilate said to him, what is truth? So Pilate's question, what is truth remains with us today? What is truth? Truth is God's word revealed in and by Jesus Christ and is trustworthy in every way. The Bible is made up of 39 Old Testament and 27 New Testament books, 66 books that compose the one book. There are around 40 different contributors, including prophets and kings, doctors, rabbis, lawyers and fishermen. There are 30 Old Testament and 10 New Testament contributors, but they all have one central theme, salvation through Messiah. The Bible was written in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek across 1500 years on three separate continents. There are more than 5,800 copies of portions of the New Testament dated between 50 to 100 years after the original writing. In comparison, there are only 10 copies of Julius Caesar's Gaelic Wars, which are dated 900 years after the fact. It is the only book that contains prophecy that has been fulfilled, including over 300 fulfilled by Jesus Christ. And that's the foundation we wage spiritual warfare on. We can trust the word of God. It is God's very word. We also have our ways girded with truth, which speaks of an attitude of truthfulness. Truth is a sincere commitment to that which is truth. We are committed and we're diligent to model truth in our lives. Again, we've girded our ways with truth. Paul already said deceitfulness is the mark of the man of the world. And that's why in Ephesians 4.25 he said, putting away lying, that each one of you speak truth with his neighbor before he are members of one another. In Ephesians 5 verse nine he had said, the fruit of the spirit is in all goodness, righteousness and truth. And so believers are committed to truth. To the fact that there is something called truth, the fact that the Bible is the truth, the fact that Jesus Christ is the truth. He said, I am the way, the truth and the life. And so we hold fast to that which is true. So when I'm in spiritual warfare and when I'm in some kind of conversation or whatever that does take place over time and it happens often enough, the one thing I do and I've done for the longest time is I may not know every Bible verse and I don't. I may not know every clear theological construct, I don't. I'm not especially profound in issues of systematic theology or apologetics. I'm not that equipped but I do have one thing. I do have a 100% belief and I've had this from day one that this book is God's word. I hold fast to that, I hold fast to that and I do.  I, you know, man of God is not to argue. I'm not a person who wants to get into debates and argue. I learned a long time ago that if somebody is really honestly seeking an answer that they're gonna be open and receptive to the responses at least they'll be fair minded. Over time I've discovered that there have been people who really came loaded with, you know, for bear they want to argue, they wanna bring down the pastor. I've had that happen more than once where they do that and I get it, I understand. You know, the person wants to demonstrate that they're brilliant and this and that, I get that. But I don't argue anymore, you know. I leave them in the hands of the Lord. I'll quote a scripture and then I just say God, kill him. No, I, it's just something, some things. Some things, some, you can know the difference between an honest question and someone who's trying to set you up. You can tell that and so when someone's trying to set you up, you don't have to feel obligated to stay there and debate with them. You can just give them a scripture and say just think about that and leave it alone. That's what I do. Just think about that, leave it alone. Because you're not gonna win every argument and sometimes you may win an argument and still lose the person. Because of the way you and your attitude. You know, I had to learn that a long time ago when I was a new believer. Because I, like I said, I was very caught up and very caught up with this being God's word and I used to get into arguments with cult members as a new believer. I read up on it and I actually would drive through neighborhoods looking for them to argue. I really did, you know, I went into places, you know, and where's, who do you got here? I wanna talk to them and I would do that because they were lost and I wanted to tell them the truth and then it took a long time for the Lord to teach me to have a loving compassion and kindness towards people because, you know, I was one of these who got saved and said, you know what? I'm gonna tell you the truth, like it or not.   That's a pretty straight thing to tell your own dad. But you know what? And I still do, but I've learned to, like Pastor Chuck said one day, he said, put a little sugar in the spoon. I've learned to be kinder, you know? And so, you know, sometimes we can be pugnacious and argumentative and unkind and you may win the argument. A young man came to the door, Marie might remember this and he was Jehovah's Witness and he says to me, he says, I'm a Jehovah's Witness. And I said, oh, and he goes, have you ever heard of them? And I said, I have, yes, I have. And he says, well, what do you think about us? I said, what do I think about you?  That's what I think of you. See, so I used to do that thinking I was loving them and he's just go, blah, blah, blah, like that. And that was a nice thing. It was true, but it wasn't nice. And so over time, I asked the Lord to help me not to be pugnacious and argumentative and having to win these arguments. I asked the Lord, help me to have a sense of what truth is to be fully committed to it, but to have a kind way of presenting it, to share it with love and compassion for people. And over the years, God has been slowly answering that question for me. I'm committed, I'm committed to truth. I've committed myself to that for over 50 years. So being girded refers to a commitment to God's word to his truth. To be half-hearted in your commitment is to be open to Satan's devices.  Now Solomon wrote words that should encourage us in our commitment to truth. He said in Proverbs two, one through five, listen to this, he said, my son, if you receive my words and treasure my commands within you so that you incline your ear to wisdom and apply your heart to understanding us, if you cry out for discernment, lift up your voice for understanding, if you seek her as silver, search for her as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. It requires a pursuit. It doesn't happen just by me going to a Bible study and hear somebody teach me. It happens as daily I open the word and pursue God on my own in my devotions. As I read the word of God and I seek the Lord and understand his ways, I couldn't go to church a couple of times a week and expect to really grow if I'm not in the word on a daily process. Hopefully we all are because that's how you grow. You have to see it as if you were searching for treasure, for a hidden treasure. And so finally, let me close with this, we need to do at least three things. One, as I mentioned, diligently spend time in the word. If you have an opportunity, not only on your own devotional time, but if you have the opportunity and all to be part of a small group or to attend studies as often as possible, I really encourage you to do that. In 2 Timothy 2, verse 15, Paul said it like this, study to show yourself proved unto God, a workman who needs not be ashamed. So one, diligently spend time in God's word. Second, get serious about the things of the Lord. Ephesians 5, 16, we saw how it said, redeem the time because the days are evil. Verse 13 spoke of the evil day. When he speaks of this, this evil day is the time the devil has prepared against us, one of conflict and one of danger. So it is the time that the enemy works hard to destroy and to undermine. Being armed and prepared, we stand victorious through Christ. And when the battle is finished, we stand in victory. Don't be surprised, the more you study the word and even in this series, let me share something the Lord reminded me of today and I'll share it with you. This is nothing you haven't ever heard before, but I've said, oh boy, every time I teach on spiritual warfare, it's like we go through a lot. And in the spirit of the Lord, I was in prayer today and the spirit of the Lord, you know, gave me something. He said, well, yeah, the enemy is gonna come after you. But as you study, you're also growing more aware of the fact that you are in spiritual warfare. Sometimes I can be kind of like not even aware of what's going on around me and I'm gonna act in the flesh, which is easy to do. So I need to have the mindset that, you know what? We're in a battle. We're in a war. We like to look at the nation and we say this nation is in a spiritual war and it indeed is. But we individually, every believer in this room is in a war, in a conflict. You know it, you know it. Sometimes you wake up and you say, how did this happen today? Why is it, why are these, you know, is the enemy in these little imps? It's not always that way. But there are times when I say, oh, it's you again. I mean, you know it. This is normal. This is something that's stealing my joy. And the enemy loves to kill, steal and destroy. And if there's one thing he wants to take from you is the joy of your salvation. That's really something, you know, the joy of the Lord, didn't we read that in, you read that in the book of Nehemiah chapter eight. The joy of the Lord is my strength. The knowledge that God is on my side. And if God is for me, who can be against me? The fact that God is with me, that he's empowered me by his Holy Spirit. That my name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life that I am passing through, that I'm going to heaven. Jesus is, that knowledge ought to keep me in joy. But sometimes the enemy will say, well, look at this, look at that, this happened. Your friend did this, he betrayed you. Your daughter's not doing well.  And your mind is occupied with that. And you're failing to realize that. It's one of those things that very often is just a season it's gonna pass through and we can have joy in the midst of those tribulations. We can, not some kind of giggling happy kind of thing, but a depth within us that says, you know, no matter what, the Lord is still on my side. No matter what, I'm gonna make it. That's something, that's something we need to understand. Listen, you know, you're in the Lord's army and the enemy sees you now as an enemy. Do not be surprised when you're under attack. Be aware.  In Romans 12, one and two, Paul said, I urge you brothers in view of God's mercy to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God. This is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is, is good, pleasing and perfect will. I can tell you this, that there were times when my children who are now adults and in all, but when they were young, there were times when I was so concerned for my kids that I would be in my room by myself and I would be praying for my baby. And I'm not telling you that you should do this, I'm just telling you what, I'm just trying to make a point and close with thought. But there were times when I would be crying out to the Lord for them because I was concerned for my kids, I still pray for my babies. Of course, you never stop praying for your children and for me now, Marie, our grandchildren, but I would actually open my mouth and loudly say, and I don't know if this is wise to tell you, but I've said it before, I'll say it again out loud, I would say, take your hands off my child, you cannot have him, you cannot have him. I dedicated him to Christ, he belongs to you. You cannot have him. And I get emotional because I'm transporting my heart back to those moments. You cannot have them, they belong to Jesus Christ. You cannot have them. It was just, it was a battle, it was a battle, Marie's done the same thing. It was a battle for their soul. It was a battle for their heart. It was a battle for my children. And yes, that is real. And yes, I did it. And yes, I still will. They can, he cannot have my children. He cannot have my grandchildren. They belong to the Lord. And I am telling you, you have to enter in, and I'll close with this, with a sense that in Christ we are victorious. We, in Jesus, have already won. So we enter into the battle, girded with truth, and we know that we stand victoriously. And even as we're braced for the onslaught of his attacks, he cannot overcome, because greater is he that is in me, that he that is in the world. And Jesus Christ, by his word, we have victory. Hold fast, because the one thing he wants to do is he can't steal your salvation, but he can steal the joy. Be aware of that. He can take your joy. And there's hardly any poorer witness than the angry, mad, and bitter Christian. That's just, it can be a terrible witness. Been there, done that, not a good thing. So I asked the Lord, oh, Lord, renew my strength. And Lord, renew the joy within me. Father, I bless you, and I thank you.


Where am I? Why am I tied up? Hello? Rose? Oh! How did I get drunk last night? I only had a peanut to lather. Why can't I move? I could ask the same question. I technically did.  Why did I have to get tied up with you three? Because you love me! So far from the truth. How are you two? Stop it! Why are we tied up? Why are we here? Maybe it's a joke from the classic doctors. Maybe Jack got stupidly drunk in our drinking game. All that's how I got drunk. Or maybe Moffat's just trying to do us in before he leaves his head right up. He already did destroy me with my serieses. Ah yes, that is completely true. Oh yeah! Forgot about that. You want a series? A phone. Anyone know how to play phone games with their feet? Ah gold mine! So we get service. Surely us being tied up here with this phone is an obvious trap. Don't look a gift to us in the mouth, Capaldi. This could be fun. We could make so many prank calls.  It's pleasure! Oh, welcome to Hell again, Moids.  Who's so cute? Who's so cute? But I'd still be cured if I ripped out your throat and ate it for lunch! Yeah. No, ignore him. He doesn't speak for all of us. I'm being threatened by a goddamn mouse. Is this what my life choices have led me to? Not just any mouse. I'll rate this sexist one. Oi, Mr Mouse, I thought you were supposed to be nice. Why are you so evil? Er, creative lighting sink. Yeah, it's fair. Now, down to the nitty gritty. Why are we tied up? Is this some sort of messed up game? Kinda, yeah. I'm going to torture you. First I'll give you a chance to escape, but only if you agree to answer my question. You just told us the aim of the game. Now we're just going to agree with anything you say. Anything? Yes, anything. Okay, Smith, tell me this. Who is the best new series doctor? Oh, we are so screwed. Well, you have fun figuring that one out. You have one minute. Answer together and you all live. Answer wrong and what? How does that work?  I mean, there's a paradox if there is. Shoving me under the bus, are we, tenant? I was just thinking of our charges of escape. Look, it's very easy for us all to get out of here alive. We just have to agree on which one of us is the best new who doctor. All right. Well, the fans love me the most. Everyone may love your looks, but they love my stories. I think we all know who the true best new series doctor is. Who? It's Eccleston. I'm sorry, what? What? Oh, you think I'm the best.  Oh, Capole, I knew you loved me. You see where you've started? We're not going to hear the end of this, are we? When we get out of here, I'm going to give you my best banana. That's a lie. My second best banana. I get the first. Oh, please, just, just don't. So who is it? Who is the best? We all agree. It's Eccleston. Eccleston is the best. Really? Curious answer. Shame, one of you is lying. What? Someone does not agree. Oh, tenant! Tenant! I'm sorry, it's the hair. I am the best because of my hair.  Well, one of you must die, and I choose tenant. What? Kill him. Go on. And no. No. You're hard. Did we win? Being the optimist I am, I'm going to say yes. Yay. Can we leave now? You're all seemingly forgetting something very important.   Yeah, fair point. Hey, round two. Oh, f- Let's try and keep our heads. Yeah? Yeah, you don't want to end up like Gerydorian. Too soon. I love that blue man. So, round two, who is ready for the, for this one?  Yes, it is. If it's about bananas, I know everything. It is not about bananas. Damn, I tried. Here is the question. Rich, Rich, Jerry Doctor was a bit of a suitor for a river song. Oh, come on. No, that's just not fair. A bit typical. I never got an episode of River. I think he's trying to turn this against each other. Silence, glitter. Oh, will you let it go? Let it go. Let it go. I will rip your vocal cords out, Eccleston. Sorry. Are you okay, Capoli? You seem to be getting very bitchy today. You're right. Shame, really. I thought I was their favorite. Clearly not. Silence. Okay, I take it back.  Hey, why are you going against me? I think you're overrated and a bit obnoxious and incredibly vain. You can't talk to me like that, Jack. Don't look at me.  Anyway, back to the problem. I don't think there's a problem this time. It's pretty obvious that me and her were the best. Yeah, but my story with her was so heartfelt, it's very clearly the better match. I think you'll find wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. I didn't even say it. You're still wrong. That's not fair.  Nothing, it's Capoli. Wait, what? Seriously? Oh, come on. Look, I just think Capoli and River are really, really cute.  They're revolting. You like something I did? It's one of your only decent episodes. Yeah, okay, that's a fair point. So are we all agreed? I believe we are. About time! Who wins the game? Capoli! Because Capoli is cool. Such determination! But once again, someone is untruthful. I swear to God. It is channeled! I will rip your fuck! Capoli! Kids are watching. Oh yeah, kids watch. Fuck! But yeah, no, tell them why! I believed in Capoli! I was sure! Not sure enough! All right, enough of this! Who are you really? I am Kermit Fag! Oh, Mickey from House! Oh hey! What was that about? Seriously! Is that really the pale? I should have errated. That's right, it's me. No applause, thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you. I assure you I was not going to clap! I was! You're well done, congratulations!  So you think you were all tied down? Stop laughing! It's not that funny! This is priceless, this is priceless. Because I've walked out at any time! Well, well, well not the door's ring to explode, but...   You... You are evil! How could you trick us like that? Well, I never tricked you, I never said you were tied up. I just said I'd give you the chance to escape! Oh, son of a pork! Well, have fun getting out of this explosion alive! I have a moody to save.  I'm just gonna turn this off like a bit. So... What happens now? Do we stay here forever? Right then, shall we just get this door open and walk through? Good plan, might not explode straight away. Oh! Ah!
