Spiritual Warfare:  Paul admonishes us to put on the whole armor of God in order to stand against the forces of evil. All of this armor is not just passive protection in facing the enemy; but indeed it is to be used offensively against the satanic forces at work in the world today.  Click Here to learn more about the Whole Armor of God.

         Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole Armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 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. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints  Ephesians 6:10-18

      Just as the Lord delivered Israel, He has promised to deliver us as well. 'For though we live in the world,' the Apostle Paul says, 'we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.'    2 Corinthians 10:3-5
