1 Corinthians 6:9-11 Ephesians 6:12 |
1 Corinthians 12:2 |
Points:
Spirits have a job to lead.
The armor of God was designed so that we can stand in the times of adversity.
The devil wants us to be ignorant of his plans, but God reveals them to His children.
The flesh is afraid of death and the cross.
As Christians, we must be conscious of demons.
Summary:
Mystery means hidden. Satan has tried to hide his plans for mankind from mankind. The devil knows that many people walk around conscious of other people, but not of demons. God doesn't want us to be ignorant of Satan's devices. The scriptures tell us that we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. These are demons. They are influential beings, fallen angels. Demons want to influence us to disobey God. If we are ignorant of the scriptures, we won't recognize how demons are trying to lead us. God has equipped us with the armor we need to stand against the devil and his demons. To be a good soldier for the Lord, we must be dead to the world. This means we are in this world, but not of it. We must have a passion for God and continue in ministering the Word and prayer.
