EPHESIANS 6:10-20
SOME THOUGHTS ABOUT THE TEXT:
IT IS RELEVANT,
IT IS ROOTED IN THE OLD TESTAMENT,
(EXODUS 15:3; ISAIAH 11:4-5; 49:2; 52:7; 59:17)
IT RESONATES WITH THE ENTIRE BOOK OF EPHESIANS,
SPIRITUAL WARFARE IS THAT CONFLICT BEING WAGED IN THE INVISIBLE, SPIRITUAL REALM THAT IS BEING MANIFEST IN THE VISIBLE, PHYSICAL REALM.
THE SUPERNATURAL
PERSON: “SATAN” IN HEBREW MEANS “ADVERSARY”

THE STRENGTH, 10
