There is no easy way to say this, but it’s not what happens to us that determines our spiritual maturity, but how we respond. What happens to each one of us is about the same for everyone – “trouble troubles us all,” but how we respond to it reveals our understanding of spiritual warfare. This is the subject of our next sermon in this series on Spiritual Warfare. The title is “The Believer’s Call to Spiritual Warfare .” In this sermon, we will look at the armor of God we must wear if we are to be victorious in our battle against Satan.

Spiritual warfare is the intrinsic and extrinsic battle Christians face each day with the enemies of God, including Satan and his minions – i.e., demons or fallen angels, who can invade the souls of men and possess them for his use.

Paul divided our spiritual enemies into ranks – the various levels of demonic activity in the world today – principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this age, and spiritual hosts of wickedness.

To achieve victory over these evil spiritual forces, the Apostle Paul said Christians must:

Ephesians 6:14-15 – “Stand therefore, having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace.”

Ephesians 6:16 – “Above all, taking the shield of faith with which, you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.”
