vital relationship with God
is a prime target for attacks

Devil is our enemy and is bent on
our destruction and will do
whatever it takes to leave us
discouraged, doubting and
defeated Christians.

nothing you cannot see, feel,
touch, taste or smell is considered
real, some would even deny that
we are in a battle we cannot see.

is real and every Christian must
look to God to win the victory.

a real enemy

someone to devour.

kill and destroy . . .

a real battle

physical enemy: it is against powers
that are spiritual. We are up against
the unseen power that controls this
dark world, and spiritual agents
from the very headquarters of evil.
(Ephesians 6:12 – Phillips Translation)

11. FACT 3: We can have
real victory

13. For every child of God defeats this
evil world, and we achieve this
victory through our faith. And who
can win this battle against the
world? Only those who believe
that Jesus is the Son of God.

14. God’s victory is given to
those who are His children

15. God’s victory is given
to every Christian,
not just a select few

16. God’s victory is based on
our faith in what He can do
not in what we can do

17. Dear children, you belong to God.
So you have won the victory
because the one who is in you
is greater than the one who
is in the world.
(1 John 4:4 – God’s Word Translation)
