Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. \n\nINTRODUCTION: If we are going to conquer the enemy we must Recognize and Resist the enemy. \n\nRecognize the Enemy...\n\nThe World... \n\nDo not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. \n-1 John 2:15-16\n\nWorld Def. - indifference and opposition to God’s design or anything in the world that is antichrist; empty passing values.\n\n2.  The Flesh...\n\nAs for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. \n-Ephesians 2:1-3\n\nFlesh def. - Our corrupt inclinations, disordered desires and passions that pulls us away from God, the enemy within. \n\n3. The Devil...\n\nBe alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. \n-1 Peter 5:8\n\nDevil def. - a real, personal enemy, a fallen angel, Father of Lies.\n\n\nResist the Enemy...How?\n\nWe have three enemies and there are different ways to resist each of them.\n\nThe World...\n\n1. Believe Jesus is the Son of God.\n\nWho overcomes the world? Only the one who believes Jesus is the Son of God.\n-1 John 5:5 \n\n2....","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/sIeu9LJFAGDBASM0qmKgd9mBIkXQCcHvUeQLP6ao7r4/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8yYWM0/YTkxYmFjYTcxNjc1/MzM4MWI0YjI0Zjcx/OGY3NS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
