5 Keys to an Effective Prayer Life (7 of 7)
Series: Our Fight: Spiritual Warfare

Ephesians 6:18
INTRODUCTION: We come today to our final sermon in this series called, ''Our Fight''. We've talked so far about our - ADVERSARY, our ALLIES, our ARMOR, and today we are looking at our ATTACK. How do we wage war on the enemy?
ILLUSTRATION: Jeffery C. Ward in his book, The Civil War, tells a story about a scene that took place on a battlefield during the battle of the wilderness.

Now you are called not to sit back and live comfortably, but rather to wage war, to take new ground...

ILLUSTRATION: Consider this - Jesus Christ walked on water. Jesus Christ calmed the story. Jesus Christ multiplied the loaves and the fish, Jesus Christ cast our demon and raised the dead. Yet no one ever asked him to teach them how to do those things. The only teaching request he ever received was when a disciple asked him, ''Lord teach us to pray''. Could it be that they knew... His public power was in dire ...
