Notice the Bible says this put on the whole armor of God and that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. We're gonna be talking about the enemy tonight and continuing on in that. It was my plan to get into the actual armor tonight. I mentioned last week, well, next week we'll get into the actual armor, but Lord had other plans. And I know there's a lot of blanks on the back of that page, but they're going to go very, very quickly here. Our enemy, he does not want what's best for us. You know this world doesn't want what's best for us either. God wants what's best for us. And God gives us exactly what we need. God is never taken by surprise. He knows what attacks are going to come. He knows where those attacks are coming from. Therefore, He is the only one that's qualified to tell us what armor we're going to need. Our flesh is going to say, well I don't need that. God says you need it. need the Lord to help us to apply each and every one of these things to our lives. Let's go to the Lord in prayer. We'll get into the message here tonight. Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you and we thank you, Lord, for your goodness and your grace. I thank you, Lord, that you hear and answer prayer. And Lord, for the prayer request that you've answered just this week, Lord, we're rejoicing in that. Lord, I pray that you would be with us tonight, that you would help each one of us to draw closer to you and Lord, that we would be on the lookout, Lord, for this enemy, and Lord, that we would beware of his wiles, as you call them. Lord, these tactics that he uses. Lord, I pray that each one of us, Lord, would just trust you and realize that your will is best, and help us, Lord, to draw closer to you. If there's anyone here that does not know you as their Savior, I pray they'd come to know you tonight, and we ask all these things in the precious name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, amen. Last week, as we were looking at this passage, we saw that Satan has certain devices that he will use, and as he uses those devices, he wants those to trip us up. He wants those to throw us off track, if you will. We looked at the love of money, we looked at loving this world, and we looked at putting away our faith, and listening to profane and vain babblings, and all of those things are used by Satan. And he desires to use those things to, as I mentioned a second ago, to take us off track. And no matter how long we've been saved, we are all in danger of falling in to that mess that we talked about last week. So tonight I want us to get a biblical snapshot, if you will, of what Satan is called in the Bible. This is the enemy that's coming after us. And we may say, well, this world is just beating me down. And all of us at some point have felt as though we've been beat down by the world. We've felt as though we've gone out into this world, whether it's in the workplace or wherever it may be, and you come into the house of God and it's like taking a breath of fresh air because of all the wickedness we put up with out there, it should be a breath of air for us to come into this place, to gather together, to fellowship with the believers and to sing the praises, to hear the word of God preached. That should be a reprieve for us because the world is coming. The world's coming after us, but understand this enemy that we're talking about, this world that we're saying is beating us down, understand they're doing that because they're following the mindset of Satan. They're not following the mindset of God. What's the Bible say? Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus. So if it's not that mindset, then what mindset do we have? Well, obviously it would be the mindset of the world, the mindset of the deceiver, the mindset of all of this sin that we're looking at. So I wanna look at the enemy's names tonight. And notice that is number one, the enemy's names. And we're gonna go through these things and see a verse with each one. And it's important for us to see that the names associated with Satan in the Bible, They mean something. God has them there for a reason, because He wants us to know not only the armor that we're supposed to wear, but why are we supposed to wear that? As you look at our military, you will find with the bulletproof helmet and the bulletproof vest that they have, and there's level one, two, and three body armor, and each one is supposed to withstand a certain caliber of rifle or handgun or whatever it may be. They wear those not because they're comfortable to wear. Anybody that's ever put on body armor, they would tell you it is uncomfortable. It's not something that makes you feel good, but they have to be out there and training in those things. Why? Because they know of the danger that's coming. They know that there's an enemy out there that has a gun, that has ammo that is going to be firing at them. They're wearing that because they know what's ahead. As we look at each and every one of these names of Satan, understand This is God telling us as his children in a loving way, telling us the dangers that are ahead. How dare we not put on the body armor? How dare we not allow this armor of God to be on us? So notice the enemy's name here in verse 11, when it says that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. We've already discussed that Satan knows he cannot take your salvation. He knows that. If you are a Christian, meaning that you've trusted Christ as your personal Savior, understand you are safe and secure in the hand of God. No man can pluck you out of God's hand. That is a wonderful truth to know. You're safe there. Satan cannot take you from that. So what's his goal? To make you stumble, to make you fall, to make you trip over some things, to make you inactive in the army of the Lord. That is his goal. But unfortunately, many believers have allowed him to win. What he is called in scripture will give us a little snapshot into what he wants to do. Notice, first of all, we see this, he's called Satan. I want you to look at 1 Thessalonians 2. 1 Thessalonians 2. 1 Thessalonians 2 in verse 18. Notice what we find here. Wherefore, we would have come unto you, even I, Paul, once and again, but Satan hindered us. He didn't say the people of this world hindered them, no. He said Satan hindered them. Now, could it have been that there were people that were in their way? Could it have been that there were things that caused them to have to slow down along their way? We know that through Paul's missionary journeys. I know Brother Sean is going through that in Sunday school and doing a great job there. And I praise the Lord for that as he's tearing those things apart. But what you're going to find is, is that there were times along the way where Satan was battling them. There were times along the way where there were things that slowed them down, but he didn't say, well, this person over here, they were slowing us down. No, he said, Satan hindered me, because that's what Satan wants to do. He'll use all kinds of tactics to do that, but Satan is a hinderer. You know the word Satan, it means a resistor. It means the opposer. We all know what it means to resist or to be resisted. This is to be held back by something. Something that tries to keep us from doing something that we want to do. That's what Satan tries to do. Did you know that Satan hates the Word of God? He hates it. Satan does not want the Word of God printed. Satan does not want the Word of God given out. Some of the most difficult things that are going to happen in this world, we're going to see that it revolves around the Word of God. Did you know if you make the decision that my family is going to church on Sunday morning, Sunday night, and Wednesday night, Satan is going to battle you the most on Saturday night and Sunday morning and Wednesday all day? Why? He doesn't want you to hear the Word of God. He doesn't want you to be around the people of God. Satan doesn't want that. So he wants to hinder you from that. He doesn't want us to be in church. He will be the resistor. He will oppose all that we try to do for God. So first of all, we see Satan. I told you these are gonna go quick, amen? Notice letter B, we see the devil. He's called the devil. In Matthew chapter four, Matthew chapter 4 and verse 1. Matthew chapter 4 and verse 1. Very familiar passage about the temptations of Jesus. Notice Matthew chapter 4 and verse 1, the Bible says, then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. Now, many times, and I've mentioned this, we'll have the idea that the devil is just some guy in some red spandex suit with a pitchfork. That's not who Satan is. He is a real being. Now, he is a created being, and he will never be greater than God. He tried that one time, didn't work out too well for him, but he is a created being. But it says here that he is the devil, and in our passage that we just read, it talks about against the wiles of the devil. You know what that word devil means? It means this, slanderer. It means liar. Think about that. That's who Satan is. When you look at Webster's 1828, understand it says this about this slanderer. It means a defamer. It means one who injures another by maliciously reporting something to his prejudice. Well, that's exactly who Satan is. That's exactly who the devil is. So slanderer, also a liar. It's a person who knowingly utters falsehood, one who declares to another as a fact what he knows not to be true with the intention to deceive him. I think we saw that back in the Garden of Eden. As God said, what is he trying to do? Trying to deceive Eve there. It also is this, the uttering of falsehood by mistake and without intention to deceive. We know that's not Satan. He is the one who has the intention to deceive. But then I thought it was interesting when you look this up in Webster's 1828, at least in the one that I had, it also says this. It says, it also is one who denies Christ. That's what it said. One who denies Christ. That's who a liar is. You may say, well, How can you find that from scripture? Well, I'm glad you asked. Amen? 1 John chapter 2 and verse 4, the Bible says, He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments is a liar, the Bible says. And the truth is not in him. That's what the scripture says. And I know none of us, we don't like to be lied about. I don't like to hear others tell lies about someone else. I don't like it when someone is slandering another person. I especially don't like it when I hear someone slander a brother or sister in Christ or their God-given leadership. But when we listen to those things and we allow ourselves to slander someone else, understand if the devil is a liar and we are willing to lie or slander someone else, understand we are acting like the devil. You may say, well, I don't like being told that I act like the devil. Well, I don't either, but the reality is we do. That's exactly what we do. The devil is a liar. Look at John chapter eight, if you will. John chapter eight in verse 44. John chapter eight in verse 44. Understand what is being said here. This is the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ speaking here, and he's talking about these people that seem to be religious people. What's he say to them in verse 44? Ye are of your father, the devil. and the lust of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him." You know if someone's known as a liar, even if they're telling the truth, you're going to question it. Why? Because they've proven themselves to not be trustworthy. It says, the truth is not in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own, for he is a liar and the father of it. So we know when someone is lying, they're acting like the devil. So when someone is slandering another, you know how to make them stop? Say these words, you're acting like the devil. Oh, that'll get them to stop. They may start slandering you after that, but either way, don't let somebody talk someone else down in that way to you. Don't listen to what they are saying because they're acting like the devil. And we would say, well, I don't wanna listen to the devil because I know he's a liar. I wouldn't have sinned in the garden because I know the devil is a liar. I wouldn't have done that. Yes, you would have, and I would have too. All of us would have. You say, well, how do you know that? Because Eve listened to the devil the same way we listen to the devil. He didn't tell her anything that he's unwilling to tell us. And we're just as sinful as she was. We listen to the devil a whole lot more than we'd like to admit. So notice, we see Satan, we see the devil. Notice letter C here, the accuser of the brethren. what he is. He's the accuser of the brethren. Look at Revelation chapter 12 if you will. Revelation chapter 12 and verse 10. Revelation chapter 12 and verse 10. Notice here it says, and I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, now has come salvation and strength and the kingdom of our God and the power of his Christ for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. It's talking about that great dragon. Satan is talking about the devil. It talks about the accuser of the brethren. Think about all of the things that have been said about men and women of God since God instituted the church. Now, let alone all the things that Satan accused people of in the Old Testament, all those accusations that were thrown. And understand, I am in no way standing up here defending wrongdoing. I don't care if it's a beggar on the street or a person in the White House. I don't care if it's a lay person in the church or the pastor of the church. If someone is accused of wrongdoing and they're guilty of that, they should be held accountable. I'm not saying that just because of their position they shouldn't be held accountable. But what I am saying is this, there's an awful lot of false accusations that have been thrown around, so-called Christianity, for many, many years. Why is that? Because Satan is the accuser of the brethren. He doesn't care if it's true. He doesn't care if there's any weight to it. And the issue is, many times we as believers will listen to him more than we're listening to God. and we'll allow him to put that little seed there in our mind and we will allow that to grow, we'll nurture that seed there. And though there's nothing to be said about it, though there's no truth there, we follow that accusation. A person should never get a pass because of the position they hold. But what has been prevalent in the churches and what has wreaked havoc in many churches and destroyed ministries are false accusations. That word accuser there, understand it carries with it this meaning. The act of making an accusation without knowing the truth or while knowing that it is an outright lie. Now in the study that I did today, I only found that word accuser one time in the Bible. And it's associated with Satan himself. It's associated with the devil. You know what we do many times as believers is we allow our mouth to move quicker than God wants it to move. And we throw out some accusations. What are we doing? We're acting like the devil. Because that's exactly who he is. He's the accuser of the brethren. Many times we, we as believers, we play his game and There aren't many people who gossip more than so-called Christians do. The reality is when we allow ourselves to lie and when we accuse the brethren, when we resist what God is doing, when we think that our opinion has some weight in the will of God, not only are we not wearing the armor of God, but when we are guilty of doing those things that Satan is known for, when we allow ourselves to listen to Satan, understand it's not only that we're not wearing our armor, but we're taking Satan's darts and stabbing ourselves with them. bitterness is a poison that you drink in hopes to hurt someone else. That's true. False accusations, and lying, and deceiving, all of that is the exact same way. But yet we walk right into it. Notice letter D there, notice the old serpent. The old serpent. Look at Revelation chapter 20 and verse 2. Revelation chapter 20 and verse 2. They say the Bible is hard to read. Well, this verse here is pretty straight forward, amen. I like the way the Lord put it here. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the devil and Satan, and bound him a thousand years. Pretty simple. but he's called the old serpent. You know what the word serpent means? It means artful maliciousness. It means sly. That's who Satan is. And he will always try to slither his way in. He will try to convince you that you know better than God. Yea, hath God said. When he went to Christ there in the wilderness, he said, if you bow down to me, I'll give you all this. It wasn't even his to give. But yet, he was offering it up. He's sly. He's an old serpent. Praise the Lord, he's already defeated and he'll continue to be defeated. Don't allow Satan to convince you that you know better than God. Don't allow Satan to convince you that, well, I've been saved long enough, I can handle this. No, we can't. We need God's help. Let's put on the whole armor of God. Notice letter E there we see the prince of this world. Look at John chapter 12, John chapter 12 and verse 31. John chapter 12 and verse 31. Here in John 12 and verse 31, Notice the words of the Lord Jesus Christ, it says, now this, or now is the judgment of this world. Now shall the prince of this world be cast out. The prince of this world is speaking, or a prince is speaking of a chief or a ruler. This does not mean that God is not in charge. God always has been and God always will be in charge. He's given Satan liberty, if you will, if you want to put it that way, to roam about this earth. But Satan doesn't own this earth. God owns it. God is the creator. God is the I am. But understand, Satan thinks that he's in charge. Satan thinks that he can control what we do. But the issue is we allow him to think that because for so long we've just went along with his philosophy rather than God's philosophy. But it says here he's the prince of this world. Understand that this whole world's philosophy is against God and who's that being propagated by? Who's that being promoted by? Satan himself. That's exactly who's doing it. So when we think that we're strong enough, when we think that we can go through life without God's help, understand we will be defeated. It's not, well, I think I'm strong enough. No, none of us are. You will not be used by God. You will not be joyful. You will look for reasons to get out of serving God rather than reasons to serve God. When you don't get your way, you'll look for accusations to throw around. You'll be a liar. You'll resist what God is doing. You will not be a soul winner. You'll slander the ones that are busy for the Lord. All of that will happen if you allow yourself to follow the prince of this world rather than following the God of the Bible. It's going to happen, because that's Satan's mindset. For too long, we've allowed ourselves to think that we can just open our Bibles on Sunday mornings and, well, as long as I do that, I'll be doing okay. No, you won't, because Satan is in your mind every single day. He's coming at you every day, all day. We need the Word of God. We need to study the Word of God. We need God to fix our mind. We need God to protect us. We need to put on that armor of God because the prince of this world is out and he wants to destroy us. Notice letter F there, what we see as well is this. He's transformed into an angel of light. transformed into an angel of light. Look at 2 Corinthians chapter 11. 2 Corinthians chapter 11. Look at verse 14. Notice here, and no marvel for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light, Satan himself. In this passage, it's warning us, of course, as you read this passage against false teachers. And this is because we are easily wooed in, if you will, by smooth talking and polished sermons. And what we'll find ourselves doing is many times we're chasing something that's unscriptural because our flesh enjoys it. It shouldn't be that way. We need to follow biblical teaching. Some people will say, well, I know they don't stick with the King James Version, and I know that their church doesn't go soul winning, and I know that their music's not right, and here's what they always say, but they love God. Well, everybody has a area in which they need to learn, in which they need to grow, but the Bible says, if you love me, keep my commandments. Now that's not saying when a person gets saved they automatically do everything the Bible says. None of us do that. We all have growing to do. But if you love me, keep my commandments, that's when you know this is what you're to be doing, that is when you have to make a decision. It's either obedience or it's disobedience. But you know what Satan will do many times? Satan will cause the things of this world to look good. Oh, he'll cause them to be appealing to the eye. He can make these things look good, but he has transformed himself into an angel. That word transformed that we see there is not the same word that we see in the verse, be transformed by the renewing of your mind. That word means to be changed, to be transformed by the renewing of our mind. That is to be changed positively, if you will. But when we see that Satan is transformed, it doesn't mean that. When we see that Satan is transformed, it means he's been disguised. That's what that word means in the Greek there. He's been disguised. When He makes the things of this world look good, understand, it's just a disguise. It's just a smoke screen. It's not what you think it is. That's why the Bible warns us. It says that the pleasures of sin last only for a season. It may look good to us for a little while. It may seem as though this is what I wanna do. This feels good. This makes me happy, people would say. But understand, it's just a disguise. And when you fall flat on your face, you know who won't be there to pick you up? Satan. It's not gonna be. But God cares for us. He cares for us more than we could ever know. There's another thing that he's called, and I don't have a blank there for this, but in 1 Peter chapter five and verse eight, I believe it is. 1 Peter 5, eight. Notice he's called a few things in this verse. are a couple of things here. 1 Peter 5, 8, be sober, be vigilant. Now that's speaking to us as believers. How are we to be sober and be vigilant? By putting on the whole armor of God. By doing what the Bible tells us to do. By not allowing ourselves to just follow what man says, but follow what the Bible says. This is what God's Word says, so that's what I'm going to do. Be sober, be vigilant. Why? Because your adversary, the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour." He doesn't want to help you. He wants to hurt you. He doesn't want to improve your life. He wants to destroy your life. He doesn't want to make you profitable in life. No. He wants to bring you down. That brings us to Our second point here, notice not only the enemy's names, but notice this, the enemy's desire. Here in 1 Peter 5, 8, as we just read there, the adversary of the devil is a roaring lion, walketh about seeking whom he may devour. In verse 9, it says this, whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. We need to stand fast. We need to be vigilant. We can't leave our armor at home. We can't allow ourselves to think that, well, we don't have to put on that armor today. No, the Bible tells us that Satan desires to devour us. He desires to sift us as weed. He wants us to be useless for the Lord. He doesn't want us to propagate the gospel. He doesn't want us to win souls. He doesn't want us to baptize anyone. He doesn't want us to add people to the church. He doesn't want us to draw closer to the Lord. What Satan is working to do is to hinder us. Satan absolutely hates it that in the month of March there were six people that trusted Christ as their Savior. He hates that. Drives him crazy. Well, as the kids' song goes, Satan can sit on a tack, amen? Amen. He hates that. But church, we gotta keep going for God. We gotta put on the armor of God. We gotta understand that God has a plan here. He's working a plan, and that plan is so much bigger than we are. He just wants obedience. In Numbers chapter 22 through chapter 25, there was a false prophet named Balaam. This man was hired by King Balak to curse Israel. But God would not allow that to be done, so instead he cursed Balaam to only bless Israel instead of cursing them. Balaam knowing that God wouldn't allow him to curse Israel, he counseled the king to corrupt God's people in an attempt to break their fellowship with God. Why did he do that? Because Satan knows he can't steal our salvation. But he also knows that if he can just break our fellowship with God, if he can cause us to be discouraged, If He can cause us to be downhearted, if He can cause us to look at someone else's problems more than the way that we need to draw closer to God, He knows we're not going to be doing God's work. He knows that if all I do is point out Joey's faults, and boy does he have some faults. Trust me, Sammy told me about them, amen? No, if Satan knows if that's all I do is point out somebody else's faults, I walk right past the mirror that I should be looking in. Walk right past it. He knows that. So he wants me to accuse others. He wants me to lie about others. He wants me to do those things. He desires for us to have broken fellowship with God. He wants us to be chastised. He wants us to be defeated. He wants us to turn our back on God. And Satan continually pushes us towards sin. Why? Because sin breaks fellowship with God. It breaks it. He wants us to turn our back on God. Understand, though, when we sin, if we've trusted Christ as our Savior, though it breaks our fellowship with God, it never severs our relationship with God. Think of the prodigal son, and I was talking to a person just a couple of weeks ago and they were asking me how in the world could someone that trusts Christ as their Savior and yet they sin, how could God still give them a home in heaven no matter what? And they were having trouble just digesting that, if you will, and comprehending that told them the story of the prodigal son. And I said, when he left there he took his inheritance, and the Bible says he spent that on riotous living. And there's been different studies on what riotous living is, but it's ungodly things is what it was. He didn't just go out and just spend it on all kinds of Coca-Cola and those types of things. No, he was out there doing things that were ungodly, but yet he was still his father's son. Why? Because he was born into that family. Praise the Lord, we will always have a relationship with our Father once you've trusted Christ. Satan knows he can't take that, but he wants to break the fellowship. Look at John chapter 1 and verse 2. John chapter 1 and verse 2. Or I'm sorry, John chapter 1 verse 12. John chapter 1 and verse 12. Notice the Bible says this, but as many as received him, speaking of the Lord, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. Trust in Christ, you're the child of God. Praise the Lord for that truth. Never to be taken out of the Father's hand. Notice there on those last two blanks there, salvation. This is our relationship to God. Fellowship is our relationship with God. There's a difference there. To God and with God. Look at Isaiah chapter 59 in verse 2, it says, but your iniquities have separated between you and your God and your sins have hit his face from you that he will not hear. Understand it was still their God, but because there was sin there that was unconfessed, there was a separation there. Still as children. but broken fellowship. Psalm chapter 66 and verse 18, Psalm chapter 66 and verse 18, turn back and read that real quick here. Psalm 66 and verse 18, the Bible says this, if I regard iniquity in my heart, notice, the Lord will not hear me. Why is that? because the fellowship is broken. There are many times growing up in which I disappointed my parents. I can take you to the belt that I would receive a whipping with, amen? And I deserved that whipping as well. I am not one of these that said, well, yeah, I'm emotionally scarred because I was spanked, no. I look back and I say, how bad off would I have been if I wouldn't have been spanked? What would the Lord have allowed me to go through? But through all of those times, though I disappointed my parents in the decisions that I made, I was still their child. They still cared for me. They did that because they loved me. They chastened me, same way that God does. You see, sin has caused many casualties amongst believers, and this is why it's so important for us to have on the whole armor of God. Understand, Satan used the sin of unbelief with Eve, and that's in Genesis 3, verse 1-5. He used the sin of covetousness with Lot. That's in Genesis chapter 13 verses 10 through 13. He used the sin of lust with Samson in Judges 16 verses 1 through 20. He used the sin of pride with David in First Chronicles 21 verses 1 and 2. In every case of fellowship being broken between man and God, understand sin has always been the cause. It hasn't been because God has given up on anybody. And the sin has never been on God's part. It's always been on man's part. God desires to be with us. God desires to meet with us. There in Genesis, even after Adam and Eve sinned, it said that the voice of the Lord came into the garden. It was walking there in the garden. Why? Because he desired fellowship with man. God desires that. But when we allow ourselves to Listen to the accuser, to the enemy that we're talking about here tonight. Understand that fellowship is broken. When we sin, when we refuse to be on guard, when we, uh, when we refuse to follow God's word and we follow our own heart instead, when we refuse to watch out for the enemy, understand we lose the blessings and the power of God in our life. Just a couple more verses here and we'll be done. Look at James chapter four, if you will. James chapter 4 and verse 4, James chapter 4 and verse 4. Notice the Bible says, Know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. First John chapter four in verse four, it says, ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world. Church, those verses that we went over this evening, understand they all told us who Satan is. who the enemy is, how he's going to attack, how he desires to sift you as weed, how he desires to devour you, how he's going to come from behind, how he's going to try to trip you up, how he's going to try to get you to turn your back on God. That's who our enemy is and we see his tactics, we see that he's coming for us, we see his names, we see his desire. How foolish would it be to know all of these things and still refuse to put on the whole armor of God? How foolish would it be to see, looking back on all of the ones that we have seen give in to the wiles of the devil, and there's no joy in their life, and there's no pleasure there, and it seems as though they're always defeated. It seems as though their family is a mess. We've seen those things when they've turned away from God. How foolish would it be for us to think to ourselves, well, that could never happen to me. It could happen if you take off the armor just like they did. if you allow yourselves to listen to the devil as they did. Let's put on the whole armor of God. There in our passage that we read here this evening, notice it says this in verse 11, put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. All of it, the whole armor, because there's an enemy. and that enemy wants to destroy you. The enemy wants to destroy this church. The enemy wants to remove, as Brother Kumar mentioned, the candlestick from this community. He doesn't want it to be here. You know, Satan would like nothing more than for this property to be just let go and there be no Bible preaching church in this community anymore. He would love that. You may say, well, that would never happen. We've been here for 74 years. By God's grace, we've been here for 74 years. But if we take off the armor of God, it'll happen. Guaranteed. Let's keep going. Stand strong and put on the whole armor of God.
