Ephesians 6:10
Ephesians 6:10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. (NIV)
It's time for the church to rise up and take a stand. Take a stand? Against what? Against our true enemy. The Word says it right here is Ephesians 6 that our fight is not against people. But it is against spiritual forces that are at work in the world and manifesting themselves through people. But we have been given PROTECTION and AUTHORITY over the powers of this dark world, and we have been given WISDOM from God to outwit the enemy's schemes.
John 10:10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. (NKJV)
Scheme Strategy #1 TAKE A STAND FOR THE GOSPEL

Romans 1:16 (NIV) For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.
Let me tell you something, there is no remedy to the ills of society when people's hearts are not right. It is in the heart where wars start.
Psalm 140:1 Rescue me, LORD, from evildoers; protect me from the violent, 2 who devise evil plans in their hearts and stir up war every day. (NIV)
James 4:1 Where do you think all these appalling wars and quarrels com ...
