HOLD ON SAINTS, HELP IS HERE!

Warfare is going on to damage and discredit and to shoot and to fire and to discourage and ruin your life and my life.  And so what we're gonna find is,  that there are clear commands and clear protection to be victorious  in the battle.

And so God says He wants to equip you and He wants to prepare you and I to walk in the strength of the Lord and in the strength of His power so that we could withstand the enemy's schemes and multifaceted attacks, and that we can defeat him in the specific battles in our life, at your work, in your family, and at your church.
 There is a spiritual battle. Are you aware of that? You need to know this to win.  Because if you don't know you're in a battle, you'll never win.

We need God's ongoing protection for daily living.  God's given us some armor.  You need to know how to put it on, how to use it.

We have to learn how to  engage the enemy with supernatural weapons.  There's times where you need to go on the offense, and we're gonna learn how to do that in Spiritual Warfare 301.  

 Ephesians 6:13, 14, and 15:  "Therefore, take up the full armor of God."  Why?  "That you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.  Stand firm, therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace."

The way you stand firm and hold your ground against the enemy is, these things have to have already occurred, and they have to be a practice in your life for you to live out this new life.  And then what he's gonna do is say, "Let me explain to you what it looks like by going through each of these pieces of the armor."
