We should never take the battle with Satan lightly. Every day we live; Satan wants our soul. Every day there is a battle going on and we need to be prepared. In Ephesians chapter 6 Paul gives us some suggestions about how to prepare.
- Know the power of the enemy, "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places." Ephesians 6:12
- Be completely prepared to face the enemy. "Finally be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil." Ephesians 6:10, 11
- When you are armed and you understand the enemy, then you must pray continuously. "Praying at all times in the spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints." Ephesians 6:18
After services today you will enter the battlefield; are you prepared?
