Have you ever received the baptism of the Holy Spirit? When God pours His Spirit out onto us, He awakens our spiritual gifts and gives us a joy and excitement for Him that can’t be replaced by anything else. Pastor Jeff encourages us to seek the baptism of the Holy Spirit, to grow in the Word, and mature spiritually in order to combat the fiery darts of the wicked.

As we finish up the first part of our study on Satan’s strategies, Pastor Jeff challenges us to be aware of how we come across to other people. Don’t alienate unbelievers from Christianity by your actions. At the end of the day, are you attracting people to join God’s army? Allow Christ to shine through your every action.

As we begin studying Satan’s strategies, Pastor Jeff teaches us that our enemy has many tactics for tripping us up. Sadly, many Christians are cruising through life without taking Satan seriously. These individuals are setting themselves up to fail. Don’t be one of these people! Be on your guard, and never underestimate the enemy.

As we finish up our study on Spiritual Warfare, Pastor Jeff reminds us that we don’t have time to worry over the little things. We’re in the middle of intense warfare, and Satan doesn’t have long before the Lord comes and defeats him. He’ll be working overtime to oppress us and we must remember that the Lord can break strongholds and deliver us.

One of the most important character qualities we need in the church today is a discerning spirit. Pastor Jeff tells us that without a discerning spirit we can’t hope to avoid the pitfalls of the enemy. When we stand against the devil, we must stand in the power of God, not ourselves.

Count the cost. All of you, not part, must be dedicated. Pastor Jeff tells us that God can’t use us unless our body and soul is given to Him. Paul reminds us to stay fit to serve the Lord. Beware of angels of light promising goodness and peace! God’s Word provides us with the most powerful weapons for overcoming the enemy.

In today’s study, we see in Ephesians 6:12 that “we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Our physical strength is of no use in this battle. We must have spiritual strength of character in order to stand against the enemy. Stay grounded in the Word!

Don’t be ignorant of Satan’s devices. In Ephesians 6, Paul is seeking to open our eyes to the realm of spiritual warfare. If we aren’t filled with the power of God’s might, we won’t be able to stand against the attacks of the wicked. God’s Word provides the tools we need to beat the enemy; but beware of getting caught up in the flesh!

Are you prepared to stand in the evil days? We are living in the end times now! As Isaiah 59:19 says, "When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him." Pastor Jeff reminds us that the Lord keeps us by His power. It just takes a little faith on our part, and He will do the rest.
