Book - Ephesians

When we think of spiritual warfare, prayer always come to mind. If the Devil can keep you off your knees, then we've lost the battle. The battle is won on our knees. Prayer is fighting fire with fire in the invisible realm. Prayer is the force field that puts the boundary on Satan's effectiveness.

We get attacked in an invisible way by discouragement, doubt, attacks on the Bible, false teaching, false religions, false philosophies, political correctness, wokeism, Marxism, Islam. Our fight is against these lies and attacks on the Bible. We must put on invisible body armor to protect our minds and hearts from believing the lies. Your mind, your emotions and your faith are what will be attacked.

God's way of doing marriage and parenting and working at our jobs is always the best way to shine the light of Christ in a dark world. Marriage does not need to be redefined but rediscovered. Our world needs good examples of Jesus in us living His life through us.

When we commit our lives to Christ and follow Jesus we soon realize that the Christian life is not a playground but a battleground. We fight the good fight! We cannot as Christians be demon possessed as some wrongly teach! We fight from victory not for victory.

The invisible warfare we are in is real. We have a real enemy. Demons! But we thank God there are more of God's angels for us than demons against us. Demons - those invisible fallen angels that are using specific methods to discourage you and keep you from growing in Christ and being fruitful. Today we continue to learn about our "Spiritual" warfare. Let us take up the whole armor that we may be protected and win the battles!

Today we learn about walking in Harmonious relationships - especially in marriage. The marriage relationship is such a beautiful one, but there can be discord. Now that God has begun a good work n us, we now live differently. Love & Respect are to be the leading attitudes and actions to one another.

This section is all about the Christian Walk & the Christian Talk; our lifestyle. Now that God has done so much for us and made us into a new person, now what? Now, we are to live differently and talk differently. we're to walk in Love, Light and in Wisdom.

The Old YOU was the kind of belief, behaviors, thinking and lifestyle you lived before you came to be a follower of Jesus. Now the change comes, we put away all the old and put on the NEW YOU. A type of thinking, a type of living, a type of believing that is opposite of the way you were before you came to Christ. Put off the Old you and put on the New You that is after the ways of our Lord Jesus.

Spiritual Growth, full Christian maturity is the purpose of the Church. This process into Christ likeness happens when the Bible is taught consecutively and consistently. Bible teaching churches are rare these days. Expositional Bible teaching church are even rarer. god desires for you to grow in the knowledge and grace of Jesus so that you would be a full mature believer in Jesus - functioning in a healthy harmonious way in the Church.

We learn all about the Church today. In America and the West, the word "church" means many different things. In the Bible, the word "church" is the whole purpose Jesus came and died and rose! He formed his church, a body of believers under His Lordship. It is worldwide, and it is unified under His Lordship and under the 9 essential teachings of historic orthodox Christianity, that C.S. Lewis called, "Mere Christianity" in his excellent book. How does the Lord build His Church? When we are Born-Again we are "baptized into His body, the Church" by the Holy Spirit. One's relationship to the church is also evidence of one's spiritual maturity level.
