Pray in the Spirit! (Ephesians 6:18)

In Ephesians 6:18 Paul gives the final ingredient for waging successful spiritual warfare against Satan and his demons—fervent, biblical, specific, ongoing prayer. Our fight is a spiritual one, not a human one. One of the most powerful spiritual gifts God has granted to the Christian is prayer. In this message we examine various ways the Christian is to pray to achieve victory in the spiritual struggle against Satan and sin.

The Real War on Terror, part 2: A Call to Arms (Eph. 6:14-17a)

In Ephesians 6:10-17, four times Paul exhorts Christians to “stand firm” against the devil. In this passage he tells us the key to success is being a complete and well balanced Christian by wearing all the armor that God has made available to every Christian. In the spiritual war on terror, every piece of armor counts. Neglecting a piece leaves us vulnerable. Today we examine God’s ordained spiritual armor with which we defend ourselves against spiritual attacks from Satan.
