Message Review

We are in the midst of a battle every day. This battle is not against him, her, or us, but an unsee battle against someone who fights with the forces of hell to destroy everything and everyone God is For. You have an enemy who is against you and is going to attack you to either keep you from Jesus or as followers of Christ everything He has for us. We are in a battle daily, so we must daily prepare for battle. Two ways that we prepare are being alert and aware of the devil’s schemes and to put on the full armor of God Daily. If we do these two things when we are attacked, we will be prepared to fight and ultimately win.  

Main Point | We are in a battle daily, so we must daily prepare for battle. 

Scripture References | Ephesians 6:10-13; Colossians 2:15; 1 Peter 5:8 

Challenge Question | (1) What area of life are you most susceptible to Satan’s attacks, deception and schemes? (2) How are you potentially being attacked right now? (3) Are you prepared to stand firm? 

Questions
