2. To serve God… To help those who look for God… To share His love and His
words to those who seek them... These are all about others…
Why are you here?

3. Through our service, God shows us that it is time for us to realize in our lives
the reality that in this world, we are part of a power struggle…

4. The World Today

5. There are 2 kingdoms
opposed to each other

6. We are now standing in the
face of the greatest
historical confrontation
humanity has gone through.
I do not think that... wide
circles of the Christian
community realize this fully.
We are now facing the final
confrontation between
the Churchand the anti-
Church, of the Gospel
versus the anti-Gospel.

7. GOD is rescuing us thru
His son, JESUS CHRIST

8. Christian life
is a constant battle against evil,
just as Jesus during his life had to
struggle against the devil and his
many temptations… The devil
tempted Jesus many times and
Jesus experienced temptation and
persecution throughout his lifetime.
And he warned that whoever
wants to follow Jesus must be
aware of this reality.

9. All people are born into this
battle for the hearts, minds,
& souls of men
People who are instruments for
other men's redemption are a
direct threat to Satan

11. Evangelism is the
announcement, proclamation, and
preaching of the gospel, the good
news of and about Jesus Christ
That Christ died for our sins
according to the Scriptures, that he
was buried, that he was raised on
the third day

12. Evangelism is
Against the rulers, authorities,
powers of the dark world and
the spiritual forces of evil
(Ephesians 6:12)

13. The Spiritual Warfare
WHO IS SATAN?

14. Invisible but real
Chief of the fallen spirits
Called devil, accuser, adversary, enemy of
God
Beelzebub – ‘Prince of the demons’
Belial
Deceiver of the whole world
The evil one
The father of lies
WHO IS SATAN?

15. Satan does not stand still when his
dominion and his power over
people are threatened
He undertakes defensive
But most importantly, he
offensive actions to those who
oppose him
WHO IS SATAN?

16. If you know the enemy and know yourself, your victory
will not stand in doubt… He will win whose army is
animated by the same spirit throughout all its ranks…
The greatest victory is that which requires no battle…

34. Two More Things

35. Devotion to Angels
especially to one’s guardian angel
is a very powerful aid in spiritual
warfare that many tend to downplay
Having a devotion means not only
having a public and personal
relationship with them but also trying to
imitate their angelic virtues in order
to venerate them

36. Devotion to one’s Patron Saint
“The saint whose name you bear is
already assigned you from your
Baptism” - St. Francis de Sales
Getting to know more about him,
praying to him, making him a model for
one’s life and often calling upon him for
aid is a very powerful help in growing
in holiness

37. Acknowledge Satan and his power
Acknowledge that thru the Holy Spirit, you
have the power & authority over Satan
Acknowledge that there will be difficulties
along the way
Acknowledge that this is a won victory
Finally…

38. All people are
part of this battle
Are you with Him…
or against Him?
