Spiritual Warfare in These Troubling Times: Grab that Sword!
In Part Four of this series, Bishop Phil Ashey continues to describe and define the pieces in the Armor of God. He starts with the shield, one that the Romans designed specifically to defend against fiery darts. Moving on, Bishop Ashey turns to the Helmet of Salvation. The helmet, defending the head, provides the assurance that you are saved not by your merits but by God's love expressed to you through Jesus. Finally, he addresses the Sword of the Spirit—God’s word, and the last piece of the armor: Prayer. We are told in Ephesians 6:8 to “Pray at all times in the Spirit with all prayer and supplication in every possible way with all perseverance for all the saints.”
Watch the video and learn the many ways these pieces of God’s Armor serve in our defense and in offense as we battle the enemy.

The Series
We are fighting a daily battle whether we realize it or not. While we tend to separate the spiritual and the earthly, this is not an accurate or effective view. Spiritual Warfare is real, relentless, and intertwined with the physical realm. Fortunately, we have a good and gracious God who has given us armor to counter our enemy. From the Shield of Faith to the Sword of the Spirit described by Paul in Ephesians 6:10-18, these weapons allow us to take the strongholds of the enemy.
In this seven-part course, originally given live at St. James Anglican, Bishop Phil Ashey teaches us to recognize the attacks of the enemy, how to don the armor of God, and the attitude and disposition we need to go from victims to victors.
The series ends with a powerful prayer and has an eighth, bonus episode from the live Q&A that ended the initial presentation of these lessons.
