THE WEAPONS OF EPHESIANS 6 WILL HELP US TO BE

“BATTLE READY”

……PREPARED TO BE USED BY GOD!

WHAT WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE ENEMY:

•  HOW THE DEVIL OPERATES

•  HOW TO IDENTIFY THE DEVIL'S ATTACKS.

•  HOW TO BLOCK AND STOP HIS DEVILISH ASSAULTS.

•  HOW TO PREVENT REPEAT ATTACKS.

1 PETER 5:8 GIVES US A WARNING CALL ABOUT THE ENEMY 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith,………………… 1 Peter 5:8-9 (KJV)

 

SATAN IS CONSTANTLY SEEKING WAYS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE.

2 COR 2:11…… 11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 2 Cor 2:11 (KJV)

ALERT………..ALERT………….ALERT………ALERT……………..ALERT

BE ON THE ALERT…………….

SATAN DESPERATELY WANTS SOMETHING IN HIS CONTROL.

HE WANTS YOU! YOUR DESTRUCTION IS VERY IMPORTANT TO THE DEVIL!

 

THE DEVIL WILL USE ANY METHOD NECESSARY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF US AND GET US UNDER HIS CONTROL. HE WILL DEVIOUSLY AND ARTFULLY ENDEAVOR TO OUTWIT US, TRICK US, DOMINATE US, AND ULTIMATELY TAKE US AS HIS HOSTAGES.

That is why Paul said, “….. We are not ignorant of his devices ”.

 

WE CAN'T AFFORD TO BE IGNORANT ABOUT AN ENEMY WHO HATES US THIS MUCH WHO WANTS TO DESTROY US.

We need to know if the storm we are facing right now is just a natural problem or if we are facing the devil and his forces sent from hell to disrupt God's plan for your life.

 

We just can't shut our eyes and hope the problem will work out by itself. If this is an attack from the devil and you do nothing to stop it, it will not simply go away. On the contrary, it will actually increase and become more intense. That is why being able to recognize Satan's game is so important. That is why it is so important to be apart of Bible studies, support groups like Addicts Victorious and the different specialized groups we offer, and why it is important to be a part of the Church world that Jesus set up. Jesus said, “ I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it”.

Paul and his team were not in the dark about the devil; and because Of this the enemy found it much more difficult to take advantage of them. They were on the ALERT! So Paul couldn't afford to be in the dark spiritually about the way Satan operated and neither can we!

 

So, in this warfare, don't shut your eyes and ignore the fact that the devil wants to bring about your downfall. Instead, open your eyes and allow the Holy Spirit to teach you how to recognize the devil's operations so you won't fall prey to him any longer.

 

HERE IS A SCRIPTURE I LOVE TO CONSIDER: DANIEL 10:19

O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me.

 

ALERT………..ALERT………….ALERT………ALERT…………..ALERT

NOW LET US RISE AND GO FORTH IN THE NAME OF JESUS

AND

THE MIGHTY WEAPONS OF GOD THROUGH THE PULLING DOWN OF STRONGHOLDS!

2 Cor 6:3-10 (NLT)

On the day of salvation, I helped you." Indeed, God is ready to help you right now. Today is the day of salvation.

 

3 We try to live in such a way that no one will be hindered from finding the Lord by the way we act, and so no one can find fault with our ministry.

4 In everything we do we try to show that we are true ministers of God. We patiently endure troubles and hardships and calamities of every kind.

5 We have been beaten, been put in jail, faced angry mobs, worked to exhaustion, endured sleepless nights, and gone without food.

6 We have proved ourselves by our purity, our understanding, our patience, our kindness, our sincere love, and the power of the Holy Spirit.

7 We have faithfully preached the truth. God's power has been working in us. We have righteousness as our weapon, both to attack and to defend ourselves .

8 We serve God whether people honor us or despise us, whether they slander us or praise us. We are honest, but they call us impostors.

9 We are well known, but we are treated as unknown. We live close to death, but here we are, still alive. We have been beaten within an inch of our lives.

10 Our hearts ache, but we always have joy. We are poor, but we give spiritual riches to others. We own nothing, and yet we have everything .

PRAISE THE LORD
