November 21, 2013
We have all heard the phrase, “a mind is a terrible thing to waste.” It’s also a terrible thing to let fall into Satan’s influence. Someone else has said, “What you think, you are.” It is vital to protect our minds from the devil’s attacks. The helmet of salvation is just what we need when doubts arise about our status as God’s children. Today we will learn how to use this piece of the armor of God.

Living With Your Passions
In a hyper-sexualized culture, sex is either reduced to pleasure-seeking or conflated with our identity. But God designed us as sexual beings for emotional and spiritual intimacy whose highest calling is to worship Him. In this revised edition, Pastor Erwin Lutzer draws on forty years of ministry experience to present a rationale for sexual purity. He gives an honest answer to the sexual pressures we face like extramarital relationships, self-gratification, same-sex attraction, and more. As desire-driven creatures, we don't have to pursue happiness at the expense of character. With our identity grounded in Christ, we can live victoriously with our passions.

There are times in the life of every believer when things get so bad that we doubt God’s care. That is when Satan strikes. Flaming arrows come our way, challenging our faith and making us question whether God is truly good. Today we will talk about why you and I need the shield of faith to deflect these missiles of doubt, and, how we are to use this piece of spiritual armor.

Flaming arrows is the image the Bible uses when describing the attacks of the devil on believers who want to live for God. There is a defense Christians can use to ward off Satan’s fiery darts. We can protect ourselves with what the Apostle Paul calls “the shield of faith.” Today, we will learn how to use this piece of the armor of God, and see how a strong faith can block arrows of doubt.

Taking the gospel of peace to a world under Satan’s dominion is a sure way to find yourself immediately at war. The devil sets his sights on any believer obeying the command to take to gospel to another person. Only by having the peace of God within can the believer withstand the attacks of Satan.

Inner calm is what we want when everything around us is a swirl of conflict. In trying times, peace is what we need. And peace is much more than just a sense of well-being. Its basis is what Paul calls “the gospel of peace,” good news that gives us assurance of a future that transcends our daily stress. Are you experiencing the peace of God today?

It’s one thing to believe that the righteousness of Jesus can be credited to our account before a holy God, but it is another to put that knowledge to use when we find ourselves sinning every day. The devil keeps accusing us of falling short of God’s standards.

Inside, we all know that the slightest sin separates us from the white-hot purity of God. And we all commit sin. Satan the accuser points to us as Christians to say “Look at you. You sinned again. You have no right to stand before a holy God. Give up, there is no hope you’ll ever see heaven.” But there is one way to stop him cold.

The first lie ever told was from Satan in the Garden of Eden. “Has God said…” the serpent hissed, planting seeds of doubt. He’s still hissing that same old song today, trying to get believers to either doubt the Scriptures or ignore them altogether. It is all part of his strategy in “The Invisible War.” We need to wear “The Belt of Truth” to ward off these demonic temptations.

New army recruits are given weapons during basic training. The idea is to learn how to use them well for the day of battle. God has provided several weapons we as believers use to fight “The Invisible War.” The Apostle Paul names them in Ephesians chapter six, in a list he calls “the armor of God.” Today, we enter basic training to learn how to use weapon number one.

Our lives may seem peaceful, but always in the background is the sound of war. That is because there is a war going on in a place we cannot see Demonic forces wage a battle against the saints of God on a daily basis, a battle that will not end until we enter the eternal state. Our job is to learn to use God’s weapons so that we may share in the ultimate victory.

War, it seems, is never far away – and that is just on the plane of existence we can see. But beyond what our senses can discern is a greater war, a cosmic conflict of the ages, being fought by Satan and his legions against the purposes and plans of God. Today, we lift the veil on “The Invisible War.”
