The Devil's Doors | Unholy Spirits | Aaron Pennington - Lead Pastor

Are you resisting the enemy or unknowingly giving him influence in your life? In this final message from our Unholy Spirits series, Lead Pastor Aaron Pennington teaches from Matthew 12 and exposes one of Jesus’ strongest warnings about spiritual warfare: it is not enough to “clean up your life” if your life is not filled with God.Pastor Aaron shows how deception remains the enemy’s primary weapon and how he lures people away from God at a pace that does not alarm them. He reveals the modern doors many believers are opening without realizing it, including the dangers connected to smartphones, social media, and the new era of artificial intelligence. This message challenges us to pay attention, remove anything that invites spiritual influence, and anchor ourselves in the truth of God’s Word.This teaching will equip you to recognize deception, identify open doors, guard your mind, and stand firm in the authority Jesus has given you. Learn what Jesus meant by resisting the devil, why truth is your greatest weapon, and how to step into the future with wisdom, discernment, and confidence in the Holy Spirit.📖 Key Scriptures:Matthew 12:43–45John 17:14–19John 10:10James 4:7Luke 10:17–20John 8:31–32Proverbs 30:51 Timothy 4:1–2In this message learn about:• How the enemy uses subtle, slow deception• Why the greatest danger is believing you “do not need God”• The difference between self-improvement and spiritual transformation• How social media and digital habits open spiritual doors• Why AI introduces a new era of unprecedented deception• How to identify and remove “remnants” of past darkness• Why truth is the strongest weapon in spiritual warfare• How to stop giving the enemy a foothold• What it means to resist the devil so that he must flee• How to anchor your life in God’s Word and walk in freedomChristmas Eve at Trace ChurchDecember 23: 1:00p | 3:00p | 5:00pDecember 24: 1:00p | 3:00p | 5:00pJoin us Sundays in person:8:15a | 10:00a | 11:45a | 5:00p📍 4330 Mark Dabling Blvd, Colorado Springs, CO
