The ancient Chinese general Tsun Tzu said, “If you want to win a war, you must teach your troops the principle of invincibility–taking them beyond the possibility of defeat.” In Ephesians 6 Paul talks about the armor of God and then says, “Stand.” The term “stand”, means to stand effectively or invincibly.
