The Enemy's Strategies

All summer, we’re breaking down what it means to live Battle Ready using Ephesians 6:10-18. So far, we’ve seen-

We’re in a spiritual battle (vs. 13) so we must live battle ready 

The battle is the Lord’s, so we stand firm in his power (vs. 10) 

We are to resist our enemy, who is Satan

For the next few weeks, we’re going to focus on the strategies of Satan mentioned in Ephesians 6:11.

A heart that truly wants to know the Rescuer will always find Him (Jer. 29:13). Turn to Him today and ask Him to remove the spiritual blinders erected by the enemy. As He reveals Himself to you, put your faith in Him as Savior and Lord, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9).
