In searching for materials on spiritual warfare and the armor of God I came across a list that challenged me. I thought I would share it with you and hope it is a useful tool for you as well.
1. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any unconfessed sin in your life.
2. Seek forgiveness from all whom you have offended, and forgive all who have hurt you. Make restitution where God leads.
3. Examine your motives in every word and deed. Ask the Lord to search and cleanse your heart daily.
4. Ask the Holy Spirit to guard your walk against complacency and mediocrity.
5. Praise and give thanks to God continually in all ways, on all days, regardless of your circumstances.
6. Refuse to obey your carnal (worldly) nature. (Gal 5:16,17)
7. Surrender your life to Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord. Develop utter dependence on Him with total submission and humility.
8. Study the attributes of God.
9. Hunger and thirst after righteousness. (Matt 5:6)
10. Love God with all your heart, soul, and mind. (Matt 22:37)
11. Appropriate the continual fullness and control of the Holy Spirit by faith on the basis of God's command (Eph 5:18) and promise (1 John 5:14-15).
12. Read, study, meditate on, and memorize God's holy, inspired, inerrant Word daily. (Col 3:16)
13. Pray without ceasing (1 Thess 5:27)
14. Fast and pray one 24-hour period each week
15. Seek to share Christ daily as a way of life.
16. Determine to live a holy, godly life of obedience and faith.
17. Start or join a home or church Bible study group that emphasizes revival and holy life.
