The Battle is a series that will explore the spiritual realm, spiritual warfare, angels and demons, and will also examine the signs of the return of Christ found in scripture.
In this sermon, Pastor Lee Cummings focuses on Ephesians 6 and reveals the importance of standing firm in the battle while submitting yourself fully to God.
Focus Scripture
Ephesians 6:13-18 (NKJV)
“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. 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; 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, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints.”
Sermon Highlights
On the day of the battle is not the day to learn how to fight.
There is a positioning that we need to learn, and it doesn't come naturally.
The goal of the enemy is to make us believe that we need to surrender.
When you are defeated, remember that is not your destiny. That should be a wake-up call reminding you that there is more.
Defeat takes place when the convictions of the tempter are stronger than the convictions of the tempted.
If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.
Jesus will show up when you're in the fire.
Our way will lead to destruction, but your way will lead to life.
God wants you to be able to stand strong.
