Journey thru Ephesians - Part 13
What does it take to stand firm when spiritual battles rage around us? In this powerful message from Ephesians 6, Pastor Kim reveals how believers can be equipped for spiritual warfare through God's divine armor. Drawing from Paul's vivid imagery of Roman soldiers, she unpacks each piece of spiritual armor - from the belt of truth that anchors us against deception to the shield of faith that quenches the enemy's fiery darts. Pastor Kim emphasizes that our strength comes not from our own efforts, but through our position in Christ and His empowerment. She warns that Satan uses calculated strategies of deception, accusation, temptation, and division to undermine believers' faith and effectiveness. However, rather than merely playing defense, Christians can take an offensive stance by multiplying Jesus' presence on earth through sharing the Gospel. The key is putting on the full armor daily through prayer, standing firm in God's truth, and supporting fellow believers in battle. Pastor Kim's urgent call to action reminds us that we're not praying for victory - we're praying from Christ's finished victory, equipped to stand firm through whatever challenges come our way.
