LESSON 5: SPIRITUAL WARFARE

 

Look Back:

What are you thankful for?  What is causing you stress?

    • How many days did you read the Bible?
    • How many days did you walk in the Spirit?

Look Up: Discuss Transferable Concept How to Walk in the Spirit

  • What keeps you from being in the Spirit?

     
  • How do you know if you are being led by the Spirit?

     
  • How do you get back in the Spirit?

     
  • Why does the Spirit fill us? John 14:12

 

Read Ephesians 6:10-18. We have an enemy.

  • How do we win the battle with temptation (the enemy)?
     

 

  • Who fights and wins the battle? What part does prayer take in the battle?

 

  • Why is it important to give thanks in all circumstances?
    1 Thess. 5:16-18, Rom 8:28

 

  •  

 

Authority of Christ over the Enemy.
 

 

 

Satan attacks - Temptation

 

“I am being tempted to lust, to fear or be angry.”

“I am being tempted to feel defeated.”

 

Image removed.Defeated/Discouraged - Stronghold in our mind (Ephesians 4:27)

 

“I am lust controlled, angry, fearful, or defeated.”

 

Put the Enemy out (BLAST) – Resist the enemy and he will flee from you (James 4:7, 1 Peter 5:8-9)

 

“I am free from sin. Freedom means I can choose to obey.” Romans 6: 18 “I am new creation. Jesus lives in me and he can overcome anything.”
“I order you out of my life in the name of Jesus Christ.”


 

Look Forward – Set goals & pray for goals

    • What are you doing well? What do you need to change?
      • Who needs to hear this? Who will you teach this?
    • Set Goal: How do you need to pray?
       
    • Prayer Focus: God’s Deliverance - Matthew 6:13
      • Father, lead and deliver us.
