Have you ever been to a 3-D movie? Usually they have no plot because they spend the whole budget on the special effects, but the 3-D part is pretty cool because when you put the glasses on, not only do you look foolish, but the movie just comes off the screen. It just jumps out at you. The whole movie comes alive. I wish I had 3-D glasses for every one here, but I do happen to have a couple of extra pair and I need some volunteers because we have a clip of a 3-D movie that I would like to show. So, how many of you right down here, somebody down here. Who would like to do it? Okay, there you go. Anyone else? Oh, okay, you are both going to do it. That's great. Stand up. Whenever I watch a 3-D movie, I don't know about you, but I take my glasses off about half the time because I like to watch the reaction of the people around me. It's fun to watch people jump or reach out and try to touch objects that don't exist. It's much more fun to watch the people around you looking foolish then it is to watch the 3-D movies. That's why I gave you the glasses because what I want to do is I want you to watch the clip of the 3-D movie. So, go ahead and put your glasses on while every one else, the thousands in here, focus on you. Okay? So, go ahead and run the clip.

Alright, good job. When you put the 3-D glasses on the movie comes off the screen. When you put the 3-D glasses on you see a whole other world. As Christians, we need to put our spiritual glasses on because there is this whole other world out there that our physical eyes can't see. So, if you'll open your Bibles to Ephesians, Chapter 6. Today we're in this series I'm calling Collision and we are going to talk about collision of the supernatural. And Ephesians 6 talks all about this collision of the unseen. I want to do a study of this chapter today. So stand in honor of God's Word and read out loud with me this first passage. "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 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."
God, I pray today that You would open our eyes. That's my prayer. That You would open my eyes so that we can see this spiritual battle that is going on all around us.
