----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Step 1 Get your books ready: Bible (preferably King James Version), spiral notebook, index cards, pen, and highlighter. You should obtain the book Dressed to Kill by Rick Renner (It is available for DOWNLOAD on PDF by contacting me info@ChaimInc.com subject line Dressed to Kill request download) Step 2 COMMIT to setting aside the recommended time to do the assignments. Morning before the house awakes -- the first and most important time of your day must be committed to God. It is similar to tithing your increase. In giving God the beginning of your day, He will meet you there and you will be strengthened to be effective the entire day. Noon - or mid-day. (For Moms at home this could be naptime, or a lunch hour. This is a refresher time. It is a reminding yourself what you are learning for the day and allowing the Word of God to begin to permeate your thinking. Night Thankfulness to the LORD for all that He has brought you through, thankful for who He is in your life, and not letting the sun go down on any anger or unforgiveness. Step 3 DO IT It is written, Be a doer of the word and not a hearer only, deceiving your ownselves. (James 1:22) if you just read what it put before you, and even agree with it and DO NOTHING you deceive yourself. Just knowing and having a bunch of information (right or wrong info) keeps you ineffective, deceived, and defeated. In order to get results and especially Gods results, you must DO THE WORD OF GOD. Step 4 Press on.. forward.and dont look backward Looking back only keeps you in the muck and mire. You are forgiven! The only direction now is forward toward your Heavenly Father.

DAY 1 - THE FINISHED WORK OF JESUS

MORNING: Read Aloud the following scriptures. Set your heart to believe every word for yourself.
GOD LOVES ME! Jesus gave his life for me and bore all my sin, shame, grief, sickness, and poverty that I might receive eternal life: A life more abundant that includes righteousness, joy, health, substance, protection, and every good gift.
For God so loved the world (thats YOU) that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever (YOU) believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life -JOHN 3:16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 1Jn_3:16 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father. John 10:18 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. Heb_12:2

Whether youve just received Jesus as your personal Saviour, or you have been walking with him for several years, it is always good to remind yourself what Jesus has done on your behalf.

We dont earn our salvation, it is a free gift.

Eph_2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

We dont earn healing, Jesus bore all sickness and disease, and He gave us health freely.
1Pe 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

He became poor that we might become rich.

2Co_8:9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.

All of this took place at the cross, conquered in hell, and paid in full upon resurrection. Jesus did it all for YOU. Our view of spiritual warfare must begin with this basic understanding of Jesus already accomplished victory over Satan. If we dont start out with this as our foundation, eventually we will be led to utterly ridiculous spiritual conclusions. The victory has already been won; there is nothing we can add to the destructive work Jesus did to Satans domain when He was raised from the dead. In Colossians 2:15, Paul vividly portrays Jesus victory and Satans defeat. It says, And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. Especially notice the word spoiled. This word is taken from the Greek word apekdusamenos, and it refers to the act of stripping ones garments off to the point of complete nakedness. By using the word spoiled, the Holy Spirit tells us that when Jesus Christ arose from the dead, He thoroughly plundered the enemy. Quite literally, He spoiled principalities and powers. An even better translation could read, He completely stripped principalities and powers and left them utterly naked, with nothing left at their disposal to retaliate. Furthermore, Paul goes on to tell us that Jesus didnt stop when His mission was accomplished and His sacking and plundering of hells powers was complete. Instead, Jesus rubbed this defeat in the devils face by throwing the biggest party the universe had ever seen! We must be careful to remember that the real battle with Satan was won at the Cross and the resurrection. Colossians 2:15 continues, And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. The word shew is taken from the word deigmatidzo, and it literally means to display or to expose something. It was used in classical Greek writings to denote the display of captives, weaponry, and trophies that were seized dur ing war on foreign soil. Once the war was over and the battle was won, the reigning emperor would return home and victoriously display and expose the treasures, trophies, weaponry, and captives he had seized during his military conquest. This was a grand moment of celebration for the victor and a very humiliating experience for the defunct foe! Now the Holy Spirit has carefully chosen to use this same word (deigmatidzo) to let us know what Jesus did after He was finished plundering the enemy. When His resurrection was complete and the enemy was stripped bare to the core, Jesus then proceeded to publicly display and expose this defeated spiritual foe and all his defective wares to the hosts of Heaven! But wait there is still more to Colossians 2:15 we must understand. Paul goes on to tell us that he made a shew of them openly.... Especially pay heed to the word openly. The word openly is taken from the word parresia, which is used throughout the books of the New Testament to denote boldness or confidence.

By using the word parresia, Paul declares that when this heavenly party or celebration of Jesus victory commenced, it was no quiet affair. Quite the contrary! Jesus boldly, confidently, and loudly exposed and displayed this now-defunct foe to Heavens hosts! Make no mistake about it when Jesus made a shew of them openly, it was not a quiet moment in Heaven. Jesus made a display of these defeated enemies and their defective wares openly, boldly, confidently and, yes, even loudly! In other words, this was quite a show! Then the verse continues: ...He made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. The word triumphing is taken from the Greek word triambeuo, which is a technical word used to describe a general or an emperor returning home from a grand victory in the enemys territory. The word triumph (triambeuo) was a word used to specifically describe the emperors triumphal parade when he returned home. (For more on this, see Chapter Nine in my book, Living in the Combat Zone.) Colossians 2:15 explicitly teaches that when Jesus work on the Cross was finished, He descended into the lower places in order to take the enemy apart piece by piece. Jesus thoroughly spoiled principalities and powers through His death and resurrection. They were so utterly plundered that they were stripped to bare nakedness and left with nothing in hand to retaliate! If our understanding of spiritual warfare does not begin with this as our foundation, we will eventually move into realms of teaching and experience that are not doctrinally sound. Therefore, we must approach warfare from this perspective. Dressed To Kill by Rick Renner pages 23-25

NOON: write this verse on a note card and begin to commit it to memory
Ask the LORD by the Holy Spirit to bring to life the scripture you are studying. Then avail your heart to receive what He says. Remember what Jesus taught us in the parable of the sower that the enemy comes immediately to steal the Word from you. (See Mark 4:3-9) So you must protect it by believing it with your heart not your intellect.

As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: Colossians 2:6-10 Writing in your own handwriting helps your mind to remember the words you are writing. It helps you own the scripture letting it become part of the very fiber of your being. Seriously! The Word of God is alive and the more hands on you are the better. So after YOU write it out, SAY it out loud.

EVENING: REVIEW AND REMIND. Finish the day with Thanksgiving unto God!
Review this mornings lesson and be ye thankful. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1Thessalonians 5:18 Thank God for loving you. Thank God for sending Jesus to redeem you. Any frustrations, irritations, and anger or offences are forgiven. YOU CHOOSE to forgive. Freely you have received, freely you give. And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. Ephesians 4:32 Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. Romans 10:17 Let the redeemed of the LORD, SAY SO; whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; .Ps. 107:2 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. Psalm 119:11
