In Ephesians 16:6, we are not contending against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of this present darkness, and against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
00:00:12.500And so that therefore we can speak boldly.
00:00:15.480And if my time is tomorrow, then that is God's design.
00:00:18.380But if it's 10 years from now, praise the Lord because we got work to do.
00:00:21.940So Ephesians 16, 6 starts with finally be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.
00:00:29.000Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
00:00:34.540For we are not contending against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
00:00:45.580And I'm just going to interject here that you saw in Rhonda's presentation, you saw the Satanists that, you know, are gathering together and are behind all of this, these evil attacks, especially against our children.
00:00:57.900Because they hate creation, so they hate God.
00:01:00.020So they want to destroy creation and they're starting with our children with all this trans nonsense and sterilizing our children and moving them away from marriage and having the beautiful gift of having children, of being a mother and father.
00:01:14.540Okay, so it's wickedness that is lofty and behind this.
00:01:18.140And that's why we need to bring prayer back into schools and we need to have the Ten Commandments on the walls in classrooms because God knows what is best for us.
00:01:26.860So therefore, take the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day and having done all to stand.
00:01:36.680Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth and having put on the breastplate of righteousness and having shod your feet with the equipment of the gospel of peace.
00:01:46.880Besides all these, taking the shield of faith, which you can quench all the flaming darts of the evil one, and take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
00:02:00.220It's important to read your Bible because God gives us all of the instructions.
00:02:05.820He tells us, you know, throughout history what the enemy is doing and you can learn from that and then we can also overturn it.
00:02:12.280Finally, pray at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication.
00:02:17.900To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints and also for me, that utterance may be given me in the opening of my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly as I ought to speak.
00:02:37.360And even those are the words of Paul, I speak those words today.
00:02:42.840It is, you know, just absolutely amazing when you have the gift of walking with the Lord every day, how that changes your perspective.
00:02:52.720We do not live with a spirit of fear because that's from the enemy.
