Sermon Notes Ephesians 6:10-17 (NLT), A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on all of God s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil.

5 Sermon Notes Ephesians 6:10-17 (NLT), A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on all of God s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. Therefore, put on every piece of God s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God s righteousness. For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. The Shield of Faith Ephesians 6:16, In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. 1 st of all, we experience confidence 2 Samuel 22:31, As for God, His way is perfect; the Word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him. Psalm 119:114, You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in your Word. Proverbs 30:5, Every word of God is pure; He s a shield to those who put their trust in Him. Psalm 18:30, God s way is perfect. All the Lord s promises prove true. He is a shield for all who look to him for protection. 2ndly, we experience courage 3rdly, we experience community The Helmet of Salvation Ephesians 6:17, Put on salvation as your helmet

6 Sermon Outline Romans 12:2 (NLT), Don t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. 1 Thessalonians 5:8, But we belong to the day, so we should control ourselves. We should wear faith and love to protect us, and the hope of salvation should be our helmet. 1 Peter 1:3-4, Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. In God's great mercy he has caused us to be born again into a living hope, because Jesus Christ rose from the dead. Now we hope for the blessings God has for his children. These blessings, which cannot be destroyed or be spoiled or lose their beauty, are kept in heaven for you. The Sword of the Spirit Ephesians 6:17, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 2 Peter 1:20-21 (NCV), Most of all, you must understand this: No prophecy in the Scriptures ever comes from the prophet's own interpretation. No prophecy ever came from what a person wanted to say, but people led by the Holy Spirit spoke words from God. God is the author 2 Timothy 3:16 (NCV), All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for showing people what is wrong in their lives, for correcting faults, and for teaching how to live right. It is our source of truth John 17:17 (CEV), Your word is the truth. So let this truth make them completely yours. It is our source for guidance Psalm 119:105 (NLT), Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path. It is our source for meeting all our needs 2 Tim 3:17 (NCV), Using the Scriptures, the person who serves God will be capable, having all that is needed to do every good work. It is our source for hope Romans 15:4 (NLT), Such things were written in the Scriptures long ago to teach us. And the Scriptures give us hope and encouragement as we wait patiently for God s promises to be fulfilled. It is our source for Spiritual life 1 Peter 1:22-23 (NLT), You were cleansed from your sins when you obeyed the truth, so now you must show sincere love to each other as brothers and sisters. Love each other deeply with all your heart. For you have been born again, but not to a life that will quickly end. Your new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living word of God. And it is our source for spiritual victory

7 Sermon Outline Hebrews 4:12-13 (MSG), God means what he says. What he says goes. His powerful Word is sharp as a surgeon's scalpel, cutting through everything, whether doubt or defense, laying us open to listen and obey. Nothing and no one is impervious to God's Word. We can't get away from it no matter what. Read and study the Word 2 Timothy 2:15 (NIV), Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. Meditate on the Word Psalm 1:1-3 (NLT), Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers. But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night. They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do. Memorize the Word Psalm 119:11 & 16 (NLT), I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you. I will delight in your decrees and not forget your word. Live the Word James 1:21-22 (NLT), So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls. But don t just listen to God s word. You must do what it says. Reflection Our strength for the long haul comes through prayer Ephesians 6:18, Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere. You are not alone we are in this fight together You will not be tempted beyond your ability to handle it 1 Corinthians 10:13 (MSG), No test or temptation that comes your way is beyond the course of what others have had to face. All you need to remember is that God will never let you down; he ll never let you be pushed past your limit; he ll always be there to help you come through it. Satan is not equal to God 1 John 4:4, Greater is He that is in me, than he that is in the world. Satan is already defeated, the war has been won and we have gained victory through the blood of Jesus

8 Sermon Notes Colossians 2:14-15 (NLT), He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross. In this way, He disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by His victory over them on the cross.

The Battle Plan Stand Firm

The Battle Plan Stand Firm 1. Rely on God s not on our own strength. A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Ephesians 6:10 (NLT) 2. Put on of God s armor to stand firm. Put on all
