The Invisible War (21 of 27)
Series: Ephesians
Collin Wimberly
Ephesians 6:10-13
CIT - Paul commands the Ephesian Christians to put on God’s armor so they might stand against the Devil’s assault.
Proposition - Christians today need to take up God’s armor and stand against the enemy.
Objectives:
1) To inform Church members of the reality of Spiritual warfare.

No army can hinder him. Missiles, bullets, bombs - all are useless against this enemy.
Who is he? He has many names, Satan, Lucifer, the dragon, the serpent- but make no mistake, he is very real, his forces are on the march, and his battle plans are to destroy your soul for eternity!
Do we have a chance in this conflict - you bet we do. Our general - the Lord Jesus Christ - has issued us all that we need to be victorious in this conflict. Yet, many Christians live in a continual state of spiritual defeat, some without even realizing it! So, this morning we start a series of sermons on Spiritual warfare.
Our goal is to develop a Biblical understanding of this vital topic. We want to avoid the extremes of seeing a demon behind every rock, and of ignoring Satanic presence and strategy altogether.
This first message will deal with Ephesians 6:10-13. If you will stan ...
