Protect Both Your Heart & Your Head
Don’t walk through the battlefield of this life without protecting your heart and your head. There is a war raging, and you best be prepared for attacks on both.
Spiritual Warfare
The LORD Is My Banner
Exodus 17:8-16 – The Israelites fought against the Amalekites and prevailed under unique circumstances during the conflict. As our banner, the LORD unites and mobilizes the people of God to victory.
Engaging Spiritual Warfare
While the enemy’s tactics are time-tested and successful throughout many lives, we don’t have to surrender. We don’t have to live defeated. We must engage in the battle.
Acknowledging Spiritual Warfare
Spiritual warfare is one of those topics we mention in church, but we rarely unpack it to our detriment. A battle is going on; just because you fail to acknowledge it does not mean you are immune to it.
The Ferocious & Futile Plan of Our Enemy
Exodus 1:8-22 – The Israelites intimidated the Egyptian Pharaoh, so he used all forces at his disposal to reduce their presence. No matter how much God’s enemies oppose His people, they will never fully succeed.
The Attempt to Remove Divine Authority Creates Moral Anarchy
When a culture tries to rid itself of the notion of God, it finds something more disturbing than authority. Attempting to remove divine authority from our lives actually creates moral anarchy among us.
The Unseen Threat
Our greatest dangers are not the ones we can see. There is a battle raging all around us, even if we live our lives seemingly unaware.
Spiritual Warfare and Kingdom Advancement
1 Thessalonians 2:17-20 – When we engage in ministry, we encounter opposition potentially originating from Satan and his forces. We must open our eyes to the conflict hindering us from knowing how to push forward.
Distinctly Guided
To follow Jesus, you must know what direction He is taking. We are truly guided by God when we study the truth of God’s Word.
Even the Antichrist Has a Term Limit
Daniel foresaw a clear progression of prideful rulers culminating in the reign of the Antichrist. For all the power amassed by God’s opponents throughout history, their end will be sudden and sure.
