Thesis: There is an on-going spiritual battle going on in which the Christian must live according to the plan God has given to us in the Bible - instructions on how to go into daily war against the enemy of this world.
The battle brief let's us know:
1. WE HAVE A SUPERNATURAL ENEMY * Satan is schemer, accuser, adversary, tempter, murderer, liar, lion. * Army is rulers, powers, forces of darkness * Wants us to attack problems of/and people and not present Gospel * "struggle" v.12 = hand to hand combat * Christian shouldn't be scared, but aware and react according to Lord
2. BE PREPARED * Offense comes from Jesus - twice in verse 10 = "in the Lord" * Christ has won the battle and given us divine resources * Christian has spirit of power, love and discipline (2 Timothy 1:7)
CONCLUSION: There are two eternal sides to this spiritual war. The side of Satan has already lost and those with him. What side are you on? Christian - be the soldier God has called you to be.
