2 Understanding Our Enemy

3 Understanding Our Enemy There are two equal and opposite errors into which our race can fall about the devils. One is to disbelieve in their existence. The other is to believe, and to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them. They themselves are equally pleased by both errors and hail a materialist or a magician with the same delight. - C.S. Lewis

4 Understanding Our Enemy 27% of Americans strongly believe Satan is a real being. - Barna & Associates study

5 Understanding Our Enemy Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them (2 Kings 6:16)

6 Understanding Our Enemy And the LORD opened the servant's eyes, and he saw; and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. (v.17)

7 Understanding Our Enemy 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 wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore, take up the full armor of God, that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. (Ephesians 6:10-13)

12 in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes (2 Corinthians 2:11)

13 "What do we have to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are-- the Holy One of God!" (Mark 1:24)

14 And the world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God abides forever. (1John 2:17).

15 You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created till wickedness was found in you (Ezekiel 28:15)

16 I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne I will sit also upon the mount I will ascend above the heights I will be like the Most High (Isaiah 14:13-15)

17 God is opposed to the proud but gives grace to the humble (James 4:6)

18 Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. (1Peter 5:8)

19 Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. (1Peter 5:8) H.A.L.T.

24 We don t fight for victory, we fight from victory. - Chip Ingram

25 When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, 14 having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. 15 And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross. (Colossians 2:13-15)

26 Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death--that is, the devil Hebrews 2:14
