March 22, 2018 - Ephesians 6:10-11
This
morning we are talking about The Whole Armor of God. Yesterday I gave you part
of a verse and asked that you finish it. If You Knew… three Cheers HOORAY for
you, if not I will cover it today. So what is the Fight we have been assigned
to? Is it for us to struggle with pagans in the world today? Peter thought he
knew where the fight was. He grabbed a sword and cut off the ear of the
priest’s servant, when they came to take Jesus into custody. Jesus had to put
the ear back on for Malchus in John 18:10.

Verse
12 tells us “We Battle NOT Against”, so firstly we must understand “The Rules
of Engagement” because it does… No Good to fight and yet all the time be fighting
the WRONG Enemy. Wars such as this are seldom won, because the team players
cannot be identified. This is many times the outcome of Internal Conflicts, or
commonly called Civil Wars.

What
We Are fighting is the “UNSEEN”, or as stated biblically “but against the
rulers, against the authorities, against the COSMIC POWERS over this present
darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places”. People
who spend much of their time fighting the temporal world have not yet awoken to
this fact. Many people call them “drama queens”, weather male or female,
because they live their life in a place where every mole hill, is a mountain.
