SPIRITUAL WARFARE<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Ephesians 6: 10-20<\/strong><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

THE ENEMY\u00a0 \u00a0Ephesians 6: 10-13<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Finally,\u00a0be strong in the Lord and in\u00a0the strength of his might.\u00a011\u00a0<\/strong>Put on\u00a0the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against\u00a0the schemes of the devil.\u00a012\u00a0<\/strong>For\u00a0we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against\u00a0the rulers, against the authorities, against\u00a0the cosmic powers over\u00a0this present darkness, against\u00a0the spiritual forces of evil\u00a0in the heavenly places.\u00a013\u00a0<\/strong>Therefore\u00a0take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in\u00a0the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.<\/span><\/h3>\n

2 Corinthians 10: 3-4<\/span><\/h3>\n

For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh.\u00a04\u00a0<\/strong>For the\u00a0weapons of\u00a0our warfare are not of the flesh but have\u00a0divine power\u00a0to destroy strongholds.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Romans 13: 12<\/span><\/h3>\n

The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us\u00a0cast off\u00a0the works of darkness and\u00a0put on the armor of light.<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

THE EQUIPMENT\u00a0 \u00a0 Ephesians 6: 14-17<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Stand therefore,\u00a0having fastened on the belt of truth, and\u00a0having put on the breastplate of righteousness,\u00a015\u00a0<\/strong>and,\u00a0as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace.\u00a016\u00a0<\/strong>In all circumstances take up\u00a0the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all\u00a0the flaming darts of\u00a0the evil one;\u00a017\u00a0<\/strong>and take\u00a0the helmet of salvation, and\u00a0the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,<\/span><\/h3>\n

Proverbs 30: 5<\/span><\/h3>\n

Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.<\/span><\/h3>\n

2 Corinthians 5: 21<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0For our sake he made him to be sin\u00a0who knew no sin, so that in him we might become\u00a0the righteousness of God.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Philippians 3: 7-9<\/span><\/h3>\n

But\u00a0whatever gain I had,\u00a0I counted as loss for the sake of Christ.\u00a08\u00a0<\/strong>Indeed, I count everything as loss because of\u00a0the surpassing worth of\u00a0knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I\u00a0have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ\u00a09\u00a0<\/strong>and be found in him, not having\u00a0a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but\u00a0that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith\u201d\u201d<\/span><\/h3>\n

James 4: 7<\/span><\/h3>\n

Submit yourselves therefore to God.\u00a0Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.<\/span><\/h3>\n

1 John 5: 13<\/span><\/h3>\n

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.\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

THE ENERGY\u00a0 \u00a0 Ephesians 6: 18-20<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

praying\u00a0at all times\u00a0in the Spirit,\u00a0with all prayer and supplication. To that end,\u00a0keep alert with all perseverance, making\u00a0supplication for all the saints,\u00a019\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth\u00a0boldly to proclaim\u00a0the mystery of the gospel,\u00a020\u00a0<\/strong>for which I\u00a0am an ambassador\u00a0in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.<\/span><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
