SPIRITUAL WARFARE

Ephesians 6: 10-20

 

THE ENEMY   Ephesians 6: 10-13

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.

2 Corinthians 10: 3-4

For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.

Romans 13: 12

The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light.

 

THE EQUIPMENT    Ephesians 6: 14-17

Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. 16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; 17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,

Proverbs 30: 5

Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.

2 Corinthians 5: 21

 For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

Philippians 3: 7-9

But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith””

James 4: 7

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

1 John 5: 13

I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life. 

 

THE ENERGY    Ephesians 6: 18-20

praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, 19 and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.
