The Battle—Part 17

June 8/9, 2013 Ephesians 6:10-12

FOLLOWING THE MESSAGE 1) In Ephesians 6, God educates us about the enemy. There is no reason for us to be caught off guard. 2) A true Christ-follower living a faithful life can be sure he will be involved in spiritual warfare.

13) Only when your trust is in the Lord’s power and His might is there safety! 14) As much as Satan can be the cause of your temptation, ultimately, he cannot force you to fall. It is your own independent decision.

“…in the heavenly places” Your blessings are in Heavenly places Ch 1:3 Jesus is in Heavenly places Ch 1:20 You are seated in Heavenly places 2:6 Holy Angels (un-fallen) in Heavenly places 3:10 Spiritual forces and the Battle Ch 6:12

3) Satan’s great mistake was that he thought he had God figured out. 4) 6:10 Our own strength is never strong enough, but when we are strong in the Lord, even a little of His strength is sufficient to win any battle. 5) 6:11 The Armor of God equips us beyond the initial facts of the gospel. It is living the obedient, Scripture-dominated, Spiritempowered life that enables us to stand firm. 6) 6:11 Because Satan is God’s enemy, he is our enemy, and the only way he can attack God is through us. We can therefore be sure that he will seek us out and attack us with his schemes. 7) 6:11 Unlike God, Satan is not all-knowing, all-powerful, or everywhere-present. 8) 6:11 Stand Firm in the area where Victory has already been achieved!!

That means don’t start leaning into your own understanding, but rather what God’s Word declares to be true…and that is, that Victory has already been achieved!!!

9) 6:12 The important thing to remember is that our battle is not against human beings. It is against spiritual powers. We are wasting our time fighting people when we ought to be fighting the devil, who seeks to control people and make them oppose the work of God. 10) 6:12 One of Satan’s most effective strategies and one of our greatest dangers is the delusion that no conflict between good and evil is really raging in the supernatural realm. 11) 6:12 Satan’s forces of darkness are highly organized and structured for the most destructive warfare possible. 12) There is no believer who cannot deal with Satan on the terms of the resurrection power of Jesus Christ.

…Schemes of the devil     

Selfish individual life–styles choices… perverting God’s plan Doubts placed in believers’ minds to lead us away Accusations of past wrongs Temptations to immorality, pride & self–reliance Slander, ridicule, and persecution of believers
