2:13
righteousness and the shoes of the
2:15
gospel of peace give us the shield of
2:18
Faith Lord to extinguish all the fiery
2:20
arrows of the evil one we ask for the
2:23
helmet of salvation to protect our minds
2:25
and the sword of the spirit which is

2:29
deception
2:30

2:41
we trust that with you on our side
2:44
Victory is already assured thank you for
2:46
being our protector and our source of
2:48
strength in Jesus mighty name we pray
2:52
amen spiritual battles are real and
2:54
whether we recognize them or not they
2:56
affect us on a daily basis but what
2:59
exactly is is spiritual warfare and how
3:01
can we prepare ourselves to fight these
3:03
battles the Bible is very clear about
3:05
the existence of spiritual forces in
3:08
Ephesians 6:12 it says for our struggle
3:10
is not against flesh and blood but
3:12
against the rulers against the
3:14
authorities against the powers of this
3:16
dark world and against the spiritual
3:18
forces of evil in the Heavenly Realms
3:21
this verse tells us that many of the
3:23
challenges we face whether they come in
3:25
the form of fear doubt Temptation or
3:28
even direct attack on our faith Are
3:31
Spiritual in nature when we experience
3:33
feelings of discouragement when it seems
3:35
like everything is working against us or
3:37
When we struggle to hold on to our faith
3:40
we may be in the middle of a spiritual
3:42
battle it's important to remember that
3:44
in these moments we are not fighting
3:46
alone God gives us the tools and the
3:48
strength we need to stand firm one of
3:51
the most powerful weapons we have in
3:53
spiritual warfare is prayer when we pray
3:55
we are engaging directly with God
3:58
calling on his power to work in our
3:59
lives and to fight for us in fact
4:02
Ephesians 6:18 reminds us to pray in the
4:05
spirit on All Occasions with all kinds
4:07
of prayers and requests prayer is not
4:09
just a defensive tool it's an offensive
4:12
weapon it connects us to the power of
4:14
God and it's through prayer that we can
4:16
overcome the spiritual forces working
4:18
against us but prayer is not the only
4:21
tool God gives us in Ephesians 613 to 17
4:25
Paul describes the full armor of God
4:27
that we need to put on in order to stand
4:29
firm in spiritual battles this armor
4:31
includes one the belt of Truth the belt
4:34
of Truth holds everything together in
4:37
spiritual battles we must stand firm in
4:40
the truth of God's word when the enemy
4:42
tries to deceive us with lies we need to
4:45
cling to the truth that God speaks over
4:47
us truth about who we are who he is and
4:50
the promises he has made two the
4:53
breastplate of righteousness the
4:55
breastplate protects our hearts in
4:58
spiritual warfare we need to guard our
5:00
hearts from sin and
5:02
unrighteousness the enemy will try to
5:04
tempt us but by living in righteousness
5:07
we protect our hearts from his attacks
5:10
three the shoes of the gospel of peace
5:13
just as shoes protect our feet the
5:15
gospel of peace protects our walk with
5:17
God in times of spiritual battle we need
5:20
to stand firm in the peace that comes
5:22
from knowing Jesus no matter how chaotic
5:24
the situation may seem we can find peace
5:27
in The Gospel Four
5:30
The Shield of Faith The Shield of faith
5:33
is what protects us from the enemy's
5:35
arrows when doubt fear and
5:37
discouragement are launched at us faith
5:40
is what extinguishes those arrows Faith
5:43
reminds us that God is in control even
5:45
when things seem
5:47
uncertain five the helmet of salvation
5:50
the helmet of salvation protects our
5:52
minds in spiritual warfare the enemy
5:56
often attacks our thoughts he tries to
5:58
make us doubt our salvation or question
6:00
God's goodness the helmet of salvation
6:03
reminds us that we are saved that God's
6:05
love for us is secure and that nothing
6:08
can separate us from
6:10
him
6:12
six the sword of the spirit the sword of
6:15
the spirit is the word of God it is our
6:18
offensive weapon in spiritual warfare
6:20
when Jesus was tempted in the wilderness
6:23
he fought back by quoting scripture in
6:25
the same way we can fight back against
6:27
the enemy's Lies by declaring the truth
6:29
of God's word the armor of God is not
6:32
something we put on once and then forget
6:34
about it's something we need to put on
6:36
daily because the enemy's attacks are
6:38
constant we must stay vigilant and
6:40
prepared knowing that we are in a
6:42
spiritual battle but also knowing that
6:44
God has given us everything we need to
6:46
stand firm one of the most comforting
6:49
truths about spiritual warfare is that
6:51
the battle has already been won Jesus
6:54
defeated the enemy through his death and
6:56
Resurrection while we may still
6:58
experience battles
7:00
we do so from a position of Victory we
7:02
are not fighting for victory we are
7:04
fighting from Victory the enemy has
7:07
already been defeated and nothing he
7:09
does can change that truth still we must
7:12
remain watchful 1 Peter 58 warns us be
7:16
alert and of sober mind your enemy the
7:19
devil prows around like a roaring lion
7:21
looking for someone to Devour the enemy
7:24
is always looking for opportunities to
7:26
attack but as long as we are clothed in
7:28
the armor of God and standing firm in
7:30
prayer we have nothing to fear as you
7:32
reflect on your own life ask yourself if
7:35
there are any areas where you've been
7:36
feeling particularly vulnerable maybe
7:39
you've been struggling with fear doubt
7:42
or anxiety maybe you've been facing
7:44
Temptation or dealing with
7:45
discouragement whatever your battle may
7:47
be know that God is with you and he is
7:51
ready to equip you with his strength
7:53
don't try to fight these battles on your
7:55
own rely on God's power pray put on the
7:59
full armor of God and stand firm in his
8:02
promises the victory is already yours in
8:05
Christ and through him you are more than
8:08
a conqueror as we continue to reflect on
8:11
spiritual battles and God's provision of
8:12
strength it's important to recognize
8:15
that every battle we face whether
8:17
emotional mental or spiritual is part of
8:20
a larger War for our souls the enemy's
8:23
ultimate goal is to separate us from God
8:26
to make us doubt his goodness and to
8:28
weaken our faith however God has given
8:31
us everything we need to stand firm
8:33
remain strong and emerge Victorious
8:36
Ephesians 61011 sets the stage for our
8:39
approach to spiritual warfare saying
8:41
finally be strong in the Lord and in his
8:44
mighty power put on the full armor of
8:46
God so that you can take your stand
8:48
against the devil's schemes notice that
8:51
it doesn't say be strong in yourself or
8:54
in your own ability but rather in the
8:57
Lord and in his mighty power this is key
9:00
to understanding how we are to fight our
9:02
battles our strength is not from within
9:04
ourselves but from God he is the source
9:07
of the power we need to overcome any
9:09
spiritual attack this truth is
9:12
especially comforting for those of us
9:13
who feel weary or
9:15
overwhelmed there are times when the
9:17
battles we Face seem too much to handle
9:20
when discouragement is heavy when
9:22
anxiety clouds our thoughts or when
9:24
Temptation feels too strong to resist
9:27
but God knows our weaknesses and he does
9:30
not expect us to fight these battles in
9:32
our own strength in fact it is often in
9:34
our moments of weakness that God's power
9:36
is most clearly displayed the Apostle
9:39
Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 12:9 but he
9:42
said to me my grace is sufficient for
9:45
you for my power is made perfect in
9:47
weakness therefore I will boast all the
9:50
more gladly about my weaknesses so that
9:52
Christ's power May rest on me this means
9:56
that when we feel at our weakest God's
9:58
strength is available to carry us
10:00
through it's also important to note that
10:02
spiritual warfare often takes place in
10:04
our minds the enemy is Crafty and one of
10:08
his primary tactics is to plant seeds of
10:10
Doubt fear and discouragement in our
10:13
thoughts he knows that if he can get us
10:16
to question God's goodness to doubt his
10:18
promises or to believe lies about
10:20
ourselves he can weaken our resolve and
10:23
pull us away from the truth this is why
10:25
the helmet of salvation mentioned in
10:27
Ephesians 6:17 is so critical the helmet
10:31
protects our minds guarding our thoughts
10:33
against the enemy's lies Romans 12:2
10:37
teaches us do not conform to the pattern
10:40
of this world but be transformed by the
10:42
renewing of your mind then you will be
10:44
able to test and approve what God's will
10:46
is his good pleasing and perfect will
10:50
renewing our minds means filling them
10:52
with the truth of God's word when we
10:54
saturate our thoughts with scripture we
10:56
build up a defense against the lies and
10:58
attacks of the enemy this is why it's so
11:01
important to know God's word intimately
11:03
and to meditate on it regularly the more
11:06
we fill our minds with God's truth the
11:08
less room there is for the enemy's
11:10
deceptions but renewing our minds isn't
11:13
just about knowing scripture it's about
11:15
living in alignment with it James 1:22
11:18
reminds us do not merely listen to the
11:20
word and so deceive yourselves do what
11:23
it
11:24
says in spiritual warfare it's not
11:27
enough to know what the Bible says
11:29
we must actively apply it to our lives
11:33
when we live according to God's word we
11:35
are walking in his truth righteousness
11:38
and peace we are taking up the shield of
11:41
faith and the sword of the spirit
11:43
allowing God's truth to guide our
11:44
actions and
11:46
decisions one of the most powerful
11:48
examples of using God's word in
11:50
Spiritual Warfare comes from the life of
11:53
Jesus in Matthew 4 after fasting for 40
11:56
days Jesus was tempted by Satan in the
11:58
wilderness Ness each time Satan
12:01
attempted to deceive him or lead him
12:02
astray Jesus responded with scripture
12:05
saying it is written Jesus used the word
12:08
of God as his defense and as his weapon
12:11
against the enemy's attacks if Jesus the
12:14
son of God use scripture to fight
12:16
spiritual battles how much more should
12:18
we rely on it in our own
12:20
struggles however spiritual warfare is
12:23
not only about defense God calls us to
12:25
be proactive in the battle by actively
12:27
engaging in prayer and declaring his
12:29
truth over our lives Ephesians 6:18 says
12:33
and pray in the spirit on All Occasions
12:35
with all kinds of prayers and requests
12:38
with this in mind be alert and always
12:40
keep on praying for all the Lord's
12:42
people prayer is our Lifeline to God's
12:44
power and it's through prayer that we
12:46
access his strength in the midst of our
12:48
battles when we pray we are not simply
12:51
speaking words into the air we are
12:53
communicating with the almighty God who
12:55
hears us and responds to our needs
12:58
prayer is a powerful weapon because it
13:00
allows us to invite God's intervention
13:02
into our
13:03
circumstances in spiritual warfare
13:06
prayer helps us stand firm by connecting
13:08
us to God's wisdom strength and
13:10
protection it is through prayer that we
13:13
ask for and receive the armor of God
13:15
each piece of armor the belt of Truth
13:18
the breastplate of righteousness The
13:20
Shield of Faith the helmet of salvation
13:23
and the sword of the spirit is activated
13:25
through our prayers but prayer is not
13:28
just about asking asking for help it's
13:30
also about listening to God and seeking
13:32
his guidance sometimes In the Heat of
13:35
battle we may not know the right course
13:37
of action in those moments prayer
13:40
becomes our source of Direction James
13:43
1:5 encourages us if any of you lacks
13:46
wisdom you should ask God who gives
13:48
generously to all without finding fault
13:51
and it will be given to you when we ask
13:53
God for wisdom he will guide us showing
13:56
us the way forward and how to navigate
13:58
the spiritual battles we Face another
14:01
key aspect of spiritual warfare is
14:03
standing firm in faith Ephesians 6:16
14:06
tells us to take up the shield of Faith
14:09
with which we can extinguish all the
14:10
flaming arrows of the evil one faith is
14:13
our defense against the doubts fears and
14:16
temptations that the enemy throws at us
14:19
when we have faith in God's promises we
14:21
can stand firm knowing that he is in
14:24
control and that he will bring us
14:25
through whatever challenges we face but
14:28
faith is is not just passive belief it's
14:31
active trust in God's goodness even when
14:33
we don't see immediate results Hebrews
14:36
111 defines Faith as confidence in what
14:39
we hope for and Assurance about what we
14:41
do not see in spiritual warfare we may
14:45
not always see the victory right away
14:47
but we can be confident that God is
14:49
working behind the scenes our faith
14:52
allows us to stand firm in the midst of
14:54
uncertainty trusting that God will bring
14:56
about his perfect will in his perfect
14:58
timing the enemy may try to weaken our
15:00
faith by making us question God's timing
15:02
or goodness but we can resist these
15:05
attacks by continually reminding
15:06
ourselves of God's faithfulness Psalm
15:09
914 reminds us he will cover you with
15:12
his feathers and under his wings you
15:14
will find Refuge his faithfulness will
15:17
be your shield and Rampart God's
15:19
faithfulness is our shield in times of
15:21
doubt and his promises are a source of
15:24
strength when we feel weak as you face
15:26
your own spiritual battles remember that
15:28
God has given given you everything you
15:29
need to stand firm he has equipped you
15:31
with his armor empowered you with his
15:33
word and invited you to seek his
15:35
strength through prayer the battle may
15:37
be fierce but you are not fighting alone
15:40
God is with you and he is fighting for
15:42
you stand firm in his power and trust
15:45
that his victory is already yours
