How does Ephesians 6 prepare you for spiritual attacks?
If you know what's coming, you can prepare. That's why the Bible says, take up the whole armor of God. That way, you'll be able to withstand in the evil day. we have to be ready we have to know what's coming we need a strategy in place and above all we have to trust in the lord david said that some trust in chariots and some trust in horses but that's not where we as children of god place our trust we trust in jesus Some will run to underground bunkers. Some will trust in science. And some trust in doctors. But when you find yourself in a place where your well-being is attacked, your health is being attacked, and the doctors can't do anything for you, your future is being attacked, your stability is under attack, and your resources are being attacked, you will quickly
realize that you need to be able to call on a higher power and all of a sudden the Bible matters because you have to now find what the full armor mentioned in Ephesians 6 is. You've got to know God's Word so that you can stand in faith and declare His promises. You've got to know how to pray. You've got to have some substance about you, some conviction behind your faith. So what does the evil day look like for you? Maybe it's a day when you are tempted to fall back into addiction. Maybe it's a day when the devil preys on your biggest insecurities and makes you feel worthless. Maybe it's a day when someone close to you, someone you trust does you wrong and you have the urge to revenge. These are the days when our faith
is put to the test. And we have to make a conscious decision to keep following Jesus, no matter the cost. You are not without help. God is on your side. He is actually rooting for you and giving you the ability to overcome.
What examples show where people place their trust instead of God?
He has filled you with his Holy Spirit, which is able to conquer every force of darkness.
I would like to begin by saying that praying and fasting are both a private affair between you and God. Prayer and fasting are both an important part of your walk with Christ. Now, sometimes we will come across needs, situations or circumstances that are especially great. We'll come face to face with obstacles or giants that have a whole different dimension to them. I'm not talking about demons or foot soldiers. I'm talking about dark forces and principalities. And the thing about this type of opposition is that they require a specific kind of approach in order to get a breakthrough. For those who don't know, yes, some problems, some tests and challenges will not go away after one single prayer. There are spiritual problems that need to be discerned and they require a higher godly power to break them.
Mark 9 verse 29 says, he said to them, this kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting. This is Jesus giving us the battle plan for those stubborn spirits that come to oppose us. And the battle plan is prayer and fasting.
A prayerless Christian is powerless. Show me a Christian who prays and I'll show you a Christian who's strong. In this life, we cannot get away from prayer. And a few points that you should be mindful of when it comes to prayer are, through prayer, the impossible becomes possible. Prayer isn't optional for us as believers. It's a necessity. We need to pray. We need to commune with God. We need to seek the Lord through fervent and honest prayer.
How can you identify your personal 'evil day' and its challenges?
Prayer is you not only obeying God's word, which tells us to pray always and to pray without ceasing, but it's us going into alignment with the life of Christ when he was walking on this earth. Jesus prayed. He prayed often. He went to quiet places, isolated places so that he could pray. As people who believe in the gospel, we need to learn from this because there must be some importance to prayer if Jesus did it. There must be some effectiveness to prayer if Jesus did it.
