| victory, you and I must follow these same | | | | 22 Ye shall not fear them: for the LORD your |
| principles to the letter. | | | | God he shall fight for you. (KJV) |
| | | | |
| Following them ensures our victory while | | | | In other words, no matter how many kings come |
| disregarding them can spell defeat for us as | | | | against you (they had to face seven kings |

| - Whatever your need, these three principles | | | | |
| must be understood. | | | | 3. We must be armed to the teeth at all |
| | | | times. |
| - Then they must be employed by you and me to | | | | |
| possess the solution to our need. | | | | Deut 3:18 |
| | | | |
| Your may need healing, help for a loved one | | | | 18 And I commanded you at that time, saying, |

| Sihon on the way into the Promised Land. | | | | |
| Sihon would not let him pass peacefully. | | | | These three principles must be utilized in |
| | | | our fight for the healing of our loved ones. |
| Deut 2:30 | | | | Our objectives are different and our weapons |
| | | | are different. |
| 30 But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us | | | | |
| pass by him: (KJV) | | | | We don't use spears and battle axes in our |
