Spiritual Warfare in These Troubling Times Part Six: Therefore Stand
Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. (Ephesians 6:13 ESV)
In this verse Paul emphasizes the picture and the promise of standing, of our stability in Christ. For such stability, both of character and in crisis, the armor of God is essential. Bishop Phil Ashey describes what this stability looks like in our lives here on Earth and encourages us to put on the armor because Jesus died to give us.
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.
