EPHESUS NEEDED SPIRITUAL WARFARE

Stand up
Stand up for Jesus
Ye soldiers of the cross
Lift high His royal banner
It must not suffer loss
From vict’ry unto victr’y
His army shall he lead
Till ev’ry foe is vanquished
And Christ is Lord indeed!
WE, TOO, NEED TO STAND UP FOR JESUS!

BELIEVERS ARE EQUIPPED FOR WARFARE
Their Position is Secure in Christ
Their Action Plan is Ordained by God and Solid
 Chosen by the Father
 Redeemed by the Son
 Sealed by the Spirit
 Lifted from death to life
 Be united (no cracks in the collective armor)
 Help all believers become mature warriors
 Make known God’s manifold wisdom
 Declare it to principalities and powers in heavenly places
 Put on the whole armor of God
 Always pray!

Eph.6:10
PAUL URGED THE EPHESIANS TO…
Be strong in the Lord and in the power of HIS might
And put on the WHOLE armor of God…

…That you may be able to stand against the wiles
of the devil!
WHY?
Eph.6:11

Because we do not wrestle against flesh
and blood but against
Principalities
Powers
Rulers of the darkness of this age
Spiritual hosts of wickedness
in the heavenly places Eph.6:12
CHRISTIAN WARFARE IS SPIRITUAL

2 Corinthians 10:4
THEREFORE GOD’S ARMOR IS SPIRITUAL
The weapons of our warfare are not worldly,
But mighty in God for pulling down strongholds.
• A biblical truth
• Given to us by God
• Made powerful and effective by God – if…
• We know, understand, and ACT on it
• Suited for both defensive and offensive tactics
EACH PIECE OF THIS ARMOR IS…

Therefore take up the whole armor of God,
that you may be able to withstand in the evil day,
and having done all, to stand.
Eph.6:13

Stand therefore having girded your waist with
TRUTH

Having put on the breastplate of
RIGHTEOUSNESS

And having shod your feet
with the preparation of the
GOSPEL of PEACE
Eph.6:15

Above all, taking the shield of
FAITH
with which you will be able to quench
all the fiery darts of the wicked one.

And take the helmet of
SALVATION = DELIVERANCE

And the SWORD of the SPIRIT
which is the WORD OF GOD
Eph.6:17

PRAYING ALWAYS
with all prayer
and supplication
in the Spirit;
Being watchful
to this end with all
perseverance and
supplication for all the
saints.
Eph.6:18
AND ABOVE ALL – PRAY!

Standing on the promises of Christ my King
Through eternal ages let His praises ring
Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing
Standing on the promises of God
Chorus:
Standing – standing
Standing on the promises of God my Savior
Standing – standing
I’m standing on the promises of God.
FINALLY, Stand on the Promises of God

We pray that you are wearing your full armor,
and that you are ready to do spiritual battle
whenever and wherever
the enemy of your soul attacks…
Ephesians 6:10-18
