Spiritual Warfare Is Real: How to Stand Against the Devil's Schemes (Ephesians 6)

If you feel like you are under spiritual attack right now, discouraged, anxious, or fighting a battle you cannot fully explain, Ephesians 6 has an answer: you were never meant to fight it in your own strength. In today's Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson opens Ephesians chapter 6 and introduces one of the most important passages in the Bible for spiritual warfare, the armor of God. Before looking at the individual pieces of armor, Pastor John shows why this matters first: the devil is actively scheming against you, and you cannot stand against him through your own motivation, willpower, or confidence. You can only stand strong in the Lord and in His mighty power, the same dunamis power that filled the early church in the book of Acts. As you walk in the Holy Spirit, you are not powerless. You are strengthened for the fight ahead. This is the introduction to a multi-day series where Pastor John will walk verse by verse through Ephesians 6:10-20, teaching practical ways to recognize and resist the enemy's schemes in your own life, your family, and your church. If this message speaks to something you are walking through right now, share it with someone who needs to hear it, and subscribe so you do not miss the rest of this series on the armor of God.
