Life to the Full Pt.5

In this sermon Pastor Troy Smothermon connects the story of Esther in ancient Persia (modern Iran) to current events and emphasizes that natural conflicts have spiritual implications. He teaches that believers must recognize the reality of the spiritual world, identify Satan as the real enemy, and refuse fear, calling fear a spirit not from God. Citing Colossians 2:15, Luke 10:19, Romans 16:20, James 4:7, and 1 Peter 5:8–9, he explains that Jesus has already defeated demonic powers and has given Christians authority to enforce that victory by submitting to God and resisting the devil so he will flee. He warns against deception, independence from God, and media that magnifies evil.
