Engaging in Spiritual Warfare with Confidence

warfare

Spiritual warfare is a reality that every believer must face. At Lakeview Christian Church of Portage Lakes, we are committed to equipping believers to engage in this battle with confidence, knowing that Jesus has ultimate authority. Our mission to “Be the change as Jesus has changed us” involves standing firm in our faith and bringing the light of Christ to a world in need.

Study: Recognizing the Battle

Ephesians 6:12 reminds us that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of evil. This awareness is crucial as we engage in spiritual warfare. The sermon emphasized the importance of putting on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:13-17) and not going into battle unarmed or alone. By studying Scripture, we can be prepared and equipped to face the challenges ahead.

Share: Bringing Others into the Light

The world is not our enemy; rather, it is captive to the enemy. As believers, we are called to bring the light of Christ to those in darkness. By sharing the gospel and our testimonies, we can help others find freedom in Christ. Matthew 28:18-20, known as the Great Commission, calls us to make disciples of all nations, sharing the good news of Jesus’ authority and love.

Serve: Fighting the Battle Together

Engaging in spiritual warfare is not something we do alone. We are called to fight alongside our brothers and sisters in Christ, supporting and encouraging one another. Galatians 6:2 instructs us to bear one another’s burdens, and by serving together, we can be a powerful force for good. At Lakeview Christian Church, we encourage you to join us in this mission and serve as part of the body of Christ.

Conclusion: As we engage in spiritual warfare, let us do so with confidence, knowing that Jesus has already won the victory. By studying His word, sharing the gospel, and serving together, we can “Be the change” and bring the light of Christ to a world in need. Join us at Lakeview Christian Church of Portage Lakes as we live out this mission and stand firm in our faith.
