Feb 2, 2022 · Undergirding our conduct of spiritual warfare is prayer. Paul’s reference to prayer in Ephesians 6:18 is not a new thought; nor is it another article of armor. Rather, prayer is a buttress. We pray in continual alertness, aware of our enemy, on guard to his schemes (Matt. 26:41). We pray in the Spirit who unites us to Christ.

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of His might. 11 Put on the full armor of God, that you may be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedne...
The same could be said of Satan, and those whom he opposes. Many of his victims do not even know there is a war going on. They make easy prey. Christians should know that we are in the midst of a great spiritual struggle, although many seem not to believe it. And even more distressing is the fact that many who consider themselves in the war do not ...
In this first lesson, we will concentrate on verses 10-13, which direct our attention to the war itself, and to our grasp of its gravity. After a consideration of the war in general, we will then proceed to examine in more detail each of the weapons Paul mentions, and the offensive strategy of Satan which they imply. May God give us open hearts and...
When Satan rebelled against God, others joined him in opposing God and His purposes. And so we find Satan making his first public appearance in Genesis chapter 3, not as Satan, but as a creature which God has made. Satan comes to Adam and Eve as a fellow-creature, under Gods authority and that of the man and his wife. His temptation is heeded, and ...
In 2 Kings chapter 6, the king of Syria was waging war against Israel. God informed Elisha the prophet of all the Syrian kings battle plans in advance, and the prophet conveyed them to the king of Israel, so that all of Syrias attacks were nullified. When the king of Syria learned that Elisha was the source of his troubles, he sent out his army to ...
This heavenly army descended to Elisha, who prayed that they might strike the enemy with blindness. As a result, Elisha was able, singlehandedly, to lead the entire Syrian army into the hands of the Israelite armys hand. He would not allow them to be killed, but instead sent them all home after giving them food and water. The heavenly army is ever-...
Finally, in the Book of Daniel we come to one of the most dramatic examples of the spiritual warfare:
24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astounded and stood up in haste; he responded and said to his high officials, Was it not three men we cast bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said to the king, Certainly, O king. 25 He answered and said, Look! I see four men loosed and walking about in the midst of the fire without harm, and the ...
In chapter 10 an angel was sent to Daniel, in answer to his prayers (note verse 12). This angel informed Daniel that he had set out to come to him much sooner, but that he encountered opposition from the prince of the kingdom of Persia who withstood him, delaying him for 21 days. Having been left there with the kings of Persia, Michael came to his ...
In the Gospels of the New Testament the spiritual war is again evident. In Matthew (4:1-11) and Luke (4:1-13), the account of our Lords temptation by Satan is recorded. Satan sought to tempt our Lord to renounce His submission to the Father by acting independently for His own selfish gain. He was, of course, unsuccessful, for which we all may be gr...
13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their deeds (2 Corinthians 11:13-15).
6 But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble. 7 Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you (James 4:6-7).
In the letters to the seven churches, recorded in Revelation 2 and 3, the Lord Jesus frequently mentions Satan as the source of temptation and trials in the church (see 2:9, 13, 24; 3:9). The remainder of the Book of Revelation describes the coming final conflict with Satan, and his ultimate demise (see especially chapters 12 and 20).
10 Therefore the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels (1 Corinthians 11:10).
