Condemnation. Doubt. Guilt. Is the enemy using these emotions to keep you from God’s love and power? How do you get rid of them? Chip explains how you can prepare yourself for spiritual battle and win!
Introduction: The South Pacific after WWII was won
- The victory had been won, but battles continued and lives were lost; the bullets were real.
- The same is true spiritually:
- Satan was defeated at the Cross.
- Sin’s penalty was paid for all people for all time.
- Sin’s power was broken.
- Yet, Satan and his host of fallen angels engage in guerilla warfare to discourage, deceive, divide, and destroy God’s people and God’s program.
- Believers are commanded to equip and prepare themselves in the strength of the Lord and in His mighty power to stand firm against the enemy’s schemes, repel his multi-faceted attacks, and engage and defeat him in specific battles.
Four keys to spiritual victory
- We must become AWARE of the Invisible War.
- We must learn to APPROPRIATE God’s protection for daily living.
- We must learn to ENGAGE the enemy with supernatural weapons.
- We must utilize God’s means of deliverance when spiritually attacked.
How can you prepare yourself for satanic attack?
- Having girded your loins with TRUTH
- Having put on the breastplate of RIGHTEOUSNESS
- Having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of PEACE
Application
- Know and understand the content of the Gospel. -1 Cor. 15:1–5; Eph. 2:1–9
- Know the basis for your eternal security and the assurance of your salvation. Security – Rom. 8:38–39; Eph. 1:13–14. Assurance – 1 Jn. 5:11-13
- Faith is based on facts, not feelings.
- Sharing your faith is one of the most powerful faith-builders available, often “the best defense is a good offense.”

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
