Contending For Your Destiny

Ephesians 6:10-17
God wants to enlighten us about Spiritual warfare. When God speaks, it changes things.  Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
2 Chronicles 20:3
How are you standing?  How we stand in the battle will determine how the battle ends for us.
2 Chronicles 20:17-18
Psalm 46:10
Sometimes we have to find courage and boldness and stand against evil spirits.
1 Peter 5:8
Revelation 12:7-11
We MUST stand prepared.  Satan fights us with lies.  Have your loins girt about with the truth!  The truth will outlive a lie!  You won't make evil flee from you with a lying tongue!  Evil hates integrity and it won't stay around it long.  Righteousness - holiness, right living.  You won't stand in a Spiritual battle living wrong.  If we do not live right, it makes us vulnerable to the enemy.  Every opportunity that arises is the right time to share the Gospel.  Everywhere we go we need to be willing to spread God's Gospel.  Speak those things that are good and uplifting.  Speak rebuke if you have too.  If you've got the shield of faith, the fiery dart of the enemy will bounce off.  Our protection in this world is our faith.  Faith puts God between you and the enemy.
(Sermon Notes - Rev. Brad Stevens - Preached 8/30/09)
