SPIRITUAL WARFARE: WINNING THE WAR
Ephesians 6:18-24

I believe these verse right here give us the final piece in the
puzzle of winning the war. The Scriptures teach that the war has
already been won. The Bible tells us that Jesus Christ has already won
the victory for us.
Turn to Romans 8 and I want to read these verses to kind of
remind ourselves that the victory has already been won in Jesus Christ.
This great concluding passage in Romans 8 and when you look at the 37th
verse it says: "Nay in all these things we are more than conquerors,
(literally - super conquerors) through Him (Jesus) that loved us. For I
am persuaded that neither death nor life nor angels nor principalities
nor powers nor things present nor things to come nor height nor depth
nor any other creature shall be able to separate us from the love of God
which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." We are more than conquerors. We
are super conquerors through Him. That means we have the victory in
Jesus Christ over the principalities and the powers. In your mind
connect that with Ephesians 6 where it tells us very specifically that
we are wrestling not against flesh and blood, but against principalities
and powers.
Go to the book of Revelation 12 and I want to show you another
verse about this matter of the victory already being won and how we
2
claim that victory in the Lord Jesus Christ. Verse 10 and 11 verse
-"And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, now is come salvation and
strength and the kingdom of our God and the power of His Christ. For the
accuser of our brethren (that is, the devil) is cast down which accused
them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood
of the lamb and by the word of their testimony and they loved not their
lives unto the death."
They overcame him by the blood of the lamb. Turn back to
Matthew and I have some verses I want to connect here because I think it
gives us the total picture. Matthew 12 - th ...
