Finally my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.

Ok we are finally beginning to grow in our christian life!

Some have made new commitments to Christ.
Some have rebuilt altars once broken down.
Some have started a new devotional life.
Some marks of maturity are starting to show up.

Guess What?!   Someone Doesn´t Like It!

You have an enemy who frowns on your spiritual progress.
And his purpose is to do everything he can to hinder you from gaining any ground!
We are in a Battle a Spiritual Battle!   read Ephesians 6:10-18

The adversary in this battle is Satan and he is out to steal and rob everything from us!

Be Strong  Ephesians 6:10
Put on the Whole Armor of God  Ephesians 6:11
We wrestle with Satan  Ephesians 6:12

Is Satan Real?   The Bible speaks of him again and again.

His purpose is your destruction.   John 10:10
He often operates as an angel of light.   2 Corinthians 11:14
He goes about the earth as a roaring lion.   1 Peter 5:8
Someday soon he is going to have a political representative.   Read Revelation 13    The Beast

Folks there is a constant Spiritual Battle raging, and every Christian has enlisted to oppose the enemy.

We have learned who the Adversary is in this battle. Now we can learn who The Associates in this Battle are.

read  read Ephesians 6:10 again.

Finally, my Brethren

We are not alone in this battle. At salvation, we are born into this fighting fellowship.
So the secret to winning the battle is to fight the enemy  NOT EACH OTHER
That´s exactly what the enemy want´s, divide and conquer.

We need to be helping one another in this battle.

Is another christian having a difficult time with temptations?
Is a brother or sister discouraged?
Is someone going through some kind of difficulty?

You may be a pilgrim, but remember you´re not the only pilgrim.

When someone is under attack.

Be quick to your knees.
Give word of encouragement.

Next!  The Available Resources in this Battle.

read Ephesians 6:10
Be Strong folks we may feel weak, but we can draw from God´s strength.
Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His Might.

What Power?

The power of the Holy Spirit!
The Power of Prayer is available to all of us.
The power of the Word of God.
The power of the Blood of Christ.
The power of a conquering Savior.

Listen we are born to Win!

We will not be Defeated!

Just make use of our resources!

Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness.
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace.
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.

Revelation 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion, and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death, and his deadly wound was healed, and all the world wondered after the beast.
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast, and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them, and power was given him over all kindred´s, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity, he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast, saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads.
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
