    1. Eph 6:12 We must understand that although we live in this physical world, we also live in a spiritual world surrounded by good and evil, angels and demons.
      1. Heb 12:1-2  We live in a spiritual world where when we follow God we can feel the power and protection of the Holy Spirit and the angels who are sent by God to help us.
      2. Eph 6:12  We also live in a world greatly influenced by the devil and his legions of demons sent to attack us, discourage us, influence us away from God and stop us from accomplishing Gods will here on the earth.
    2. 2 Thess 3:3  So because we live not only in a physical world, but also a spiritual world, then we must learn how to fight, be victorious, and conquer this spiritual battle!
  2. 2 Cor 10: 3-5, Phil 2:8-9 When we choose to serve God with all of our hearts and spend our lives fulfilling his purpose for us, then we will see Gods supernatural hand work on our behalf.
    1. 1 Peter 5:8-9 However if we fall away from God and live a life of sin, then we will open doors for the devil to enter, and destroy our lives.
      1. Eph 4:27  One of the main ways we set ourselves up to conquer this spiritual battle is by repenting from our sin, and shutting all doors to the devil by ending sinful relationships and getting rid of all negative influences that are in our lives.
      2. Romans 8:26, Ps 144:1 We will also be victorious over the devil, conquering this spiritual battle when we learn how to pray and intercede as well as memorize the word of God.
    2. Eph 6:12-18, 2 Kings 6:16 Although we live in a real spiritual battle, we have nothing to fear, because if we keep our eyes fixed on Christ, no matter what may come against us we will always be victorious! We were born to conquer! #Borntoconquer!

Discussion

  1. What are some of the negative results that come about in our lives if we choose to live away from God and open doors for the devil to enter by living in sin?
  2. Can you share a testimony of a time when you personally saw Gods supernatural protection, blessing, or breakthrough in your life?
  3. What are some of the most effective ways that we as Christians can fight this spiritual battle and be victorious?
  4. Does anyone here feel like they are in a spiritual battle right now? What is it that you are battling? Are you ready to surrender this battle to God?

End: Pray for those who want to be victorious over every attack and conquer their spiritual battle, pray for any who need to accept Christ, then take requests.
