“Be Ready”

"Be ready" (Eph 6:10-17)

As long as we are on this earth, we are in the spiritual warfare. How do we deal with Satan’s attacks? Be aware of Satan’s attacks. The major issue is not how he attacks, but that we are ready. The only thing that does matter is that we put all of God’s armor on. By doing that, we can be ready for the battle by the great mighty power of God.

For LifeNet groups and personal reflection:
 

• Read 2 Tim 2:3-4. Do you view yourself as a soldier of Christ? If you don’t see yourself as a soldier, then how do you see yourself?

 

• Read Rom 8:31-39. Meditate on the victory you have in Christ.
• How do you respond to each of the following darts of Satan: impurity, selfishness, doubt, fear, disappointment, lust, greed, vanity, and covetousness? How would you use the shield of faith to defend yourself against each of those attacks? Record your answers and prepare to use them for the next attack.

 

• Look up the following verses: John 5:26; 10:28-29; 14:19; Rom 8:34-39; Col 3:3-4; Rev 1:18. List as many securities as you can.
• What are some of the ways that Satan has tried to discourage you? How would you use the helmet of salvation to defend yourself against his attacks? How would you use what you have learned to encourage someone else who faces discouragement?
