Spiritual Warfare and the Armor of God

From YouTube

Description

Does a voice keep telling you that you can't raise your kids or do the work God gave you? Here is what the Bible says about spiritual warfare. Pastor Kaloma Smith says the devil's main scheme is often to keep you living below what God made you for, through lies and accusation. The devil is not God, and the armor of God in Ephesians 6 gives you real protection. In this sermon, Pastor Kaloma Smith of UAMEZ Church in Palo Alto, California preaches on Ephesians 6:10-20 and shows why the people who hurt you are not your real enemy. He preached it in March 2022, near the end of a series on Ephesians. Questions this sermon answers What does the Bible say about spiritual warfare? Ephesians 6 says our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of evil, and God gives us armor so we can stand firm. What are signs of spiritual warfare? Pastor Smith says the enemy lies, accuses and tempts, often by convincing you that you can't do what God designed you to do. Can social media be part of the attack? He says the devil can use it to make you compare your life with pictures of other lives that are not real. How should a Christian respond to people who tear them down? He says they may be used without realizing it, so you don't need to fight them, because God wins by proving them wrong.
