Bumper Testing

Chip shares what he believes is the most powerful weapon God has given every believer to combat the forces of evil, and he’ll tell you how to use it to protect yourself from demonic attack.

Intercessory prayer is pivotal and essential for corporate and individual deliverance.

• With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints, and pray on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in proclaiming it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

Summary of Ephesians 6:18-20

The means by which believers are to withstand and overcome the attacks of the enemy in spiritual warfare is by consistent, intense, strategic prayer for one another in conjunction with the personal application of the armor of God.

Ever have wicked thoughts or evil impulses? Discover the source of these wild thoughts and how to combat them.

Four facts you need to know

1. God has objectively defeated Satan. He has delivered us from sin’s penalty and power. In the interim, we are involved in guerilla warfare with demonic forces.
2. As believers, we have been transferred from the kingdom of darkness to the Kingdom of light with all the rights, privileges, and position a child of God entails.
3. The spiritual battle involves a responsibility to “put on” the spiritual protection God has provided. We can resist the enemy’s attempts to deceive, accuse, and cast doubt when we stand firm.
4. The great majority of spiritual warfare need never go beyond the regular practice of living out our position in Christ by faith. Our practice of the spiritual armor protects us from Satan’s attempts and minimizes any impact by the enemy.

There are times however, when we must move beyond “standing firm” and ENGAGE the enemy in actual combat

• When taking significant steps of faith for spiritual growth
• When invading enemy territory
• When exposing him for who he really is
• When we repent and make a “clean break” with the world, a long-held sin pattern, or an unholy relationship
• When God is preparing us for a “great work” for His glory

How to engage the enemy and win:

1. Taking up the shield of FAITH
2. Take the helmet of SALVATION
3. Take the sword of the SPIRIT

Summary: How to engage the enemy in spiritual warfare

1. Prerequisite is a HEALTHY spiritual life
2. Understand your POSITION in Christ
3. DISCERN when demonic influence may be the cause
4. Claim God’s promises OUT LOUD
5. Take our authority and position in Christ to COMMAND demonic forces to cease their activity and depart

Condemnation. Doubt. Guilt. Is the enemy using these emotions to keep you from God’s love and power? How do you get rid of them? Chip explains how you can prepare yourself for spiritual battle and win!

Introduction: The South Pacific after WWII was won

• The victory had been won, but battles continued and lives were lost; the bullets were real.
• The same is true spiritually:

1. Satan was defeated at the Cross.
2. Sin’s penalty was paid for all people for all time.
3. Sin’s power was broken.
4. Yet, Satan and his host of fallen angels engage in guerilla warfare to discourage, deceive, divide, and destroy God’s people and God’s program.
5. Believers are commanded to equip and prepare themselves in the strength of the Lord and in His mighty power to stand firm against the enemy’s schemes, repel his multi-faceted attacks, and engage and defeat him in specific battles.

Four keys to spiritual victory

1. We must become AWARE of the Invisible War.
2. We must learn to APPROPRIATE God’s protection for daily living.
3. We must learn to ENGAGE the enemy with supernatural weapons.
4. We must utilize God’s means of deliverance when spiritually attacked.

How can you prepare yourself for satanic attack?

1. Having girded your loins with TRUTH
2. Having put on the breastplate of RIGHTEOUSNESS
3. Having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of PEACE

Application

1. Know and understand the content of the Gospel. -1 Cor. 15:1–5; Eph. 2:1–9
2. Know the basis for your eternal security and the assurance of your salvation. Security – Rom. 8:38–39; Eph. 1:13–14. Assurance – 1 Jn. 5:11-13
3. Faith is based on facts, not feelings.
4. Sharing your faith is one of the most powerful faith-builders available, often “the best defense is a good offense.”
