put on the full armour of God
Ephesians 6:10-14
[10]Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
[11]Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
[12]For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
[13]Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
[14]Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

you must lose your life and not be ashamed of Christ
Luke 9:24-27
[24]For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
[25]For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
[26]For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father’s, and of the holy angels.
[27]But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
we have to choose to be afficted with the people of God or the pleasures of sin
Hebrews 11:24-26
[24]By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter;
[25]Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
[26]Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.
Christ didnt come for peace, you might lose your family for christ
Matthew 10:34-38

[35]For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
[36]And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.
[37]He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
[38]And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

[29]Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,
[30]Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
[31]Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?
[32]Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.
you forsake every you have for christ or you cant be his disciples..

[8]Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,

[24]Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
