In this sermon, the preacher begins by acknowledging the unexpected challenges he faced while preparing his sermon. He warns against finding glory in physical appearances and cautions against the temptation of seeking attention through clothing choices. The preacher emphasizes the importance of loving much, drawing inspiration from the verse in the Bible that states "to him that's forgiven much he loves much." He also references the story of Elijah and the practice of girding up the loins to highlight the need for readiness and freedom to serve God. The sermon concludes with a reminder to not boast or seek attention, as love does not boast.

In this sermon, the preacher discusses the story of Elijah and his confrontation with Jezebel. He emphasizes the supernatural power that was upon Elijah as he ran across the Jezreel Valley to confront Jezebel. The preacher also highlights the importance of having our thoughts, emotions, and feelings under the authority of the Holy Spirit. He mentions that the spirit of Jezebel is not only prevalent in the world but also in the church, particularly in congregations that are on the cutting edge and preaching the word of God. The preacher then references the New Testament, specifically Revelation 2:18, where Jesus addresses the church at Thyatira and mentions the works, love, service, faith, and patience of the church.

The preacher emphasizes the importance of being mentally prepared and ready for spiritual battle, drawing from various biblical examples where individuals were instructed to gird up their loins as a symbol of readiness and resolve. This metaphorical girding of the mind signifies the need for courage, resolve, and preparedness in facing challenges and conflicts in the Christian journey. Just as physical girding removes hindrances for action, believers are called to remove mental hindrances like worry, fear, and impurity to allow the Holy Spirit to work effectively in their lives. The sermon highlights the necessity of disciplining one's mind, focusing on truth, and taking every thought captive to Christ to live a life of holiness and obedience.

Bakht Singh preaches on the contrast between those who trust in earthly strength and possessions versus those who trust in the name of the LORD. He explains how some find pride in their wealth, power, and status, while others find glory in belonging to God as His children and friends. The psalmist highlights the different outcomes for these two groups, where those who trust in God will stand firm while others will fall. Bakht Singh emphasizes the superiority of trusting in God by illustrating how Elijah, empowered by the LORD, outran a chariot, showcasing the futility of worldly possessions compared to God's strength.
