Title: Let's Win the Spiritual Battle
We are always in a spiritual battle against Satan.
The battle of the people who believe in our God is not a battle against humans.
Verse 12 says that our battles are against principalities and powers, the rulers of the world of darkness, and the spirits of heaven.
This name is for Satan and his minions.
Looking at this name, you can see that it has an organization and system, and the power to govern is strong.
These are invisible beings.
In order to win the battle against them, you must focus more on the invisible life than the visible life.
In order to fight against the invisible Satan, we must live our faith seriously enough to avoid the devil, and we must do it sincerely and deeply.
I must not rely on myself in this fight.
You have to depend only on God.
You must always live in the Lord and receive the Lord's power.
And we can only win when we fight with the weapons God has given us.
Let's see what weapons are available to fight Satan.
The first is the belt of truth.
The belt is used to tie clothes so that there is no hindrance to marching, and it gives strength to the waist, giving you confidence.
However, the belt that believers must wear in spiritual battle is the truth.
This truth is the truth of God's Word and before it.
This truth is the life of our saints.
Second, it is the breastplate of righteousness.
The breastplate protects a person's most important chest.
The righteousness we receive by faith through the blood of Christ is the best defense against Satan's attacks.
We cannot win by relying on our own will.
We must rely only on God's righteousness
Third, he is the God of the Gospel.
Shoes are an important piece of equipment.
Shoes are required to get you somewhere else and protect your feet from obstacles.
Shoes should be comfortable so that you can act comfortably.
The equivalent of this God is the Gospel.
If you believe in the Gospel, peace will come, and you will be able to overcome any tribulation and adversity in the world.
Satan cannot enter those who are reconciled to God and have peace in their hearts.
Fourth, it is the shield of faith.
The shield protects the whole body.
Faith, like a shield, protects you from all attacks.
This shield blocks all fire arrows.
So it blocks the fire arrows that Satan shoots like doubt, disobedience, and greed to burn our lives.
The fifth is the helmet of salvation.
The helmet protects the head.
The head is responsible for directing all actions and thinking.
Assurance of salvation is like a helmet in spiritual battle.
With the assurance of salvation, we are protected from all evil thoughts.
If you have the hope of salvation, you can overcome any tribulation.
Finally, the sword of the Spirit.
Up until now, all were defensive weapons, but the sword of the Spirit is an offensive weapon.
This speaks the word of God.
It is called the sword of the Spirit because the Spirit uses the Word.
I hope that we will become our middle and high school students who use these weapons well and win the battle against Satan.
