The Armor of God - Part II (19 of 21)
by Zach Terry
The work and effects of Satan can be divided into two arenas- Ordinary and Extra-ordinary Works The Extraordinary Works - It is these that are highlighted this time of year around Halloween. While there is much superstition and silliness -ILLUSTRATION: I heard about a woman that went to a church picnic and the ladies were having a covered dish luncheon. When she walked in one of these super spiritual ladies walked up to her and said, "What did you bring to eat?" She said, "Deviled eggs." Well, immediately this woman flung her hands up high and said, "I bind everyone of them in the name of Jesus!" Well, I like what this woman said back to her. She said, "You can bind them all you...
Weapons of Our Warfare: Puttin on the Whole Armor of God (5 of 6)
by Stan Coffey
We want you to take God’s word and turn to Ephesians Chapter 6; we’re going to begin reading in Verse 10. We’ve talked about all that Satan is doing today, about the occult, devil worship. What can believers do about the works of Satan? Well, I’m happy to tell you today that we don’t have to sit idly by. We don’t have to just surrender or hold fort. The Bible teaches that God has given us some very special weapons that we can use in our defense against the devil. That’s what we want to talk about today; about the weapons, those mighty weapons that are not carnal but they are mighty through God to the pulling down...
The Armor of God (8 of 9)
by Brian Fletcher
Intro: Bullet Proof vest We are in a spiritual battle in which the evil one wants to maim and destroy us, our family, our friends and our ministries. How do we stand firm in the battle? Put on the Armor of God. Remember, this is not our armor, this is God's armor. Remember the story of David and Goliath? David as a teenager goes to check on his brothers who are on the front lines of battle with the Philistines. When he gets there, the battle is stalled and Philistines are promoting a fight between their biggest dude, Goliath and the Israelites biggest dude. But all the Israelites are too chicken to fight. So David gets...
Seven Principles for Claiming What God Has Done for You
by David Cawston
We need to stake our claim to God's best instead of living with Hells worst. It has gone on long enough! Matt 11:12 12 "From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it."(NIV) It is time to lay hold of Heavens best! Of God's promises! God spoke to the Children of Israel after 40 years of traveling around Sinai and told them it was time to move on! He declared in: Deut 2:24-25 24 "Set out now and cross the Arnon Gorge. See, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his country. Our job! Begin to take possession of it and engage...
The Armor of God!
by Marvin D. Patterson
In his book, Fuzzy Memories, Jack Handey writes, "There used to be this bully who would demand my lunch money every day. Since I was smaller, I would give it to him. "Then I decided to fight back. I started taking karate lessons, but the instructor wanted $5 a lesson. That was a lot of money. I found that it was cheaper to pay the bully, so I gave up karate."Too many Christians believe it's easier to pay the bully than learn how to defeat him. Might I add that many Christians, don't realize they are living on a BATTLEFIELD and not a PLAYGROUND! A reporter interviewed a man on his 100th birthday. "What are you most proud of...
Armor of God
by Duane Bemis
The Lord wants us to be able to stand be strong against the principalities of darkness. His desire is for us to be able to stand in evil times. The Lord spoke through the Apostle Paul as he penned a letter to the Ephesians. The Ephesians needed to learn how to stand strong in Christ. In this portion of scriptures we are going to study the verses listed above. Let the apostle of old teach our hearts the same message on how to stand strong. Let us learn from the master how to stand and stand strong in the power of God. Use your holy imagination by sitting down with the apostle and ask him how to stand strong in God as he did. Imagine...
Spiritual Warfare
by Brian Fletcher
There is a cosmic battle taking place between good and evil. God is good and Satan or the devil is evil. God is full of light and satan is full of darkness. We believe that Christ's life, death and resurrection has conquered satan. Satan is still allowed to run rampant, although he is on a leash, and he will try to destroy us. Satan and his minions may run around and frustrate, decieve, accuse and distract God's people, God is supremely in control at all times. It is like a small colony of sugar ants versus the full force of the United States Military. God has His angels and ministers of light to fight in this battle and satan has his...
Build on Truth (3 of 8)
by David Cawston
To live victoriously in our Christian life it is essential so that our lives are built on a foundation of truth in every way. Truth is Integrity! Integrity is telling myself the truth. And honesty is telling the truth to other people. Illus. Walt Disney's hit animated movie "Pocahontas" is an entertaining film, but not historically accurate. According to history, John Rolf converted Pocahontas to Christ and saved her from paganism. In the movie, however, Pocahontas teaches John Smith to revere the earth as the source of all good things, and to feel the spirits moving among the trees. In this way, young minds are slyly indoctrinated...
A War That Can Be Won! (1 of 8)
by Dennis Marquardt
INTRO: Most countries do not go to war unless they believe they can win! No one goes to war unless they also know they have the equipment to fight it. Yet, how many Christians are completely unprepared for spiritual warfare or are unwilling to fight? The fact is that as believers we have been enlisted in a battle against the forces of darkness, it behooves us therefore to recognize the importance of the battle and the proper preparations. Spiritual warfare is a fact, not some fanciful concept, it is real. ILLUS: A friend of my eleven-year-old son called one day, announcing he had a problem with spiritual warfare...
The Unavoidable War (19)
by Robert Dawson
Wilmer McLean was a 46-year-old retired Virginia Militia officer when the Civil War erupted. McLean and His wife ran a wholesale and retail grocery as well as a small plantation near Manassas Junction, Va., that had a small meandering creek running through it named Bull Run. It was at Bull Run, in McLean's ''backyard,'' that the first major battle between the Union and Confederate forces occurred. After the battle Confederate General P.G.T Beauregard took over McLean's house and barn as headquarters and a hospital. McLean, while supportive of the South, wanted no part of what was about to take place. He moved his family 120...
The Armor of God
by Rex Yancey
The Roman emperor Julian might have lived longer if he hadn't thought himself to be invulnerable. He actually believed, as a lot of people do today, erroneously, that the enemy would never destroy him. He believed that no sword or spear could be thrust at him that would get him. With this kind of fanatical illusion there is always a problem. One puts his guard down before he ever goes into the battle- and he did just that! In the fieriest battle in which he expected to recover with rapidity, he died! And that was the end of that! J. B. Phillips in RING OF TRUTH rebutted criticism that his minister friend had received who had...
Spiritual Warfare (15 of 16)
by Stan Coffey
I want you to bow with me now for a moment of prayer. Every head bowed and every eye closed and I pray that God would not only bless in this service but He would bless those who listen to us by means of radio. Father, I pray this morning that Satan might be bound and I claim the fact Lord that he has no authority in us for Jesus Christ is Lord of our lives. He has no place in this congregation and I pray this morning that people would know the victory that comes through total commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen. This morning I'm preaching from the sixth chapter of the book of Ephesians...
The Fight of Your Life (1 of 5)
by Jeff Schreve
In 1977, a movie came out. It was called "The Edge." The basic story line was about two guys. Their plane went down in the wilderness in Alaska, and they were having to save themselves and find a way out. And that was hard enough all by itself, for it was freezing cold there. But then, they had another problem. There was a 10 foot, 1500 pound Kodiak bear that had gotten on their trail, had already killed another guy that was with them, and now he was coming after them. And they spent the majority of the movie having to go toe-to-toe with the bear. They were in the fight of their lives. Would you be a little frightened if you had to go...
Where No Battle Is Lost (8 of 10)
by Brad Whitt
INTRO: I want you to take your Bibles now this morning and turn with me to Ephesians chapter 6 as we continue in our series of studies on "A Life Worth Living." If you're our guest this morning, we're in a study on the great stories and people of the Bible to discover just what are the characteristics of conspicuous Christians? Now, so far in this study we've seen Joshua lead the children of Israel to victory in the Battle of Jericho. We've seen David win the victory over a giant named Goliath. We've seen Job experience victory through a period of great personal suffering. We've seen David win the war over personal sin through...
Is There Anyone Out There to Help Me? (3 of 10)
by Rick White
Introduction / Illustration: ON THE WINNING SIDE! A Little Leaguer was playing the outfield in the first game of the season. After chasing a long hit and hustling the ball back into the infield, someone asked him how his team was doing and what the score was. The youngster replied that his team was doing well, but that they were trailing 17-0. The bystander asked if he was discouraged at being so far behind, and if he was ready to admit defeat. He came back immediately with this retort: "We aren't beat- -we haven't even been up to bat yet!" Hope is a vital element in every dimension of life. Last Sunday Ed Rowell asked...
What the Devil Fears Most (6 of 9)
by Jeff Schreve
Well, as many of you know, my wife loves pets. I tolerate pets, but I love Debbie. So we have two cats and two dogs; two little dogs and two regular-size cats, I guess. And, ah, she asked me the other day, she said, "Jeff, I want to get another dog." She said, "I'd like to get a Great Dane" (laughter). I said, "That's fine, but first let me schedule my lobotomy." You know, I mean, I'm just not ready for that. But she loves these little dogs. She'll tell them all the time, "Oh, mommy loves you so bad. Mommy just loves you so bad." And I look at them, dumb and dumber, and I say, "Daddy just tolerates you so bad" (laughter). I mean...
Spiritual Warfare (1 of 4)
by Josh Malone
Today we begin a new series where we are dealing with various subjects and answering the questions, ''What does the Bible say about that?'' - Easter Survey... This week we are dealing with Spiritual Warfare. Spiritual Warfare... it's real. It's taking place right now as we are about to study God's Word, it will continue throughout the message. It takes place when your alarm clock goes off and your day begins. It's takes place at work, in your friendships, etc. Just because something is unseen doesn't make it unreal, and ignoring it doesn't make it go away. - An invisible enemy is a dangerous enemy, and an enemy that is...
Be Strong In The Lord!
by Jesse Hendley
In Ephesians 6:10 God's Word says, "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armour of God that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore, take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand, therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness, your feet...
Overcoming The Enemy (6 of 7)
by Stan Coffey
Paul wrote these words to the Ephesians church from his prison cell in Rome. As he thought about how to convey the struggle every believer has he looked outside the cell and there was a Roman soldier. The Holy Spirit then led him to write to the church and to compare the weapons of spiritual warfare to the dress of that Roman soldier that stood outside his cell day and night. If here were writing today he may have used the modern day American soldier, with his body armor, his night vision glasses and his access to the latest in telecommunications. If we are walking worthy of our calling, in humility rather than pride, in...
Fight on the Right Battlefield (1 of 8)
by David Cawston
I watch Christian lead many times defeated lives. Lives that are insignificantly different than those that people around them that do not know the Lord. They walk through: Hopelessness and despair! Defeat and resignation! Strife and conflict! Self-pity and negativism! I am challenged because when I came to the Lord I expected my life to be different. In fact I know that it is different and that I am victorious and not victimized by life. God challenges you to live victorious! I am not a victim of the enemies schemes and devices against me. I am not a moving target for Him to take pot shots at at will. I am a child of God...
