Grace Pointe Plainfield: Sunday services at 9 am and 11 am.Discover the full extent of your salvation beyond just escaping hell. Many Christians are missing out on God's blessings because they're praying for things they already have. This teaching reveals how to appropriate what's already yours in Christ. Learn the difference between the Gospels (which tell Christ's story) and the Epistles (which reveal who you are in Christ). Understand three essential rights every believer has: reconciliation with God, divine healing, and spiritual blessing. Discover why many Christians have head knowledge without heart knowledge, and how faith bridges the gap between spiritual reality and natural manifestation. If you've been struggling with understanding your identity in Christ, feeling distant from God, battling illness, or experiencing lack, this message will transform your perspective. Learn practical steps to move from seeing God's promises as possibilities to embracing them as established truths.Important VersesEphesians 6:16Ephesians 6:10-13James 1:14-15Romans 8:32Psalm 46:1-3Hebrews 13:5Think about it!The pastor described Satan's 'flaming arrows' as lies about God, ourselves, others, and our circumstances. Which category of lies do you find yourself most susceptible to, and why?How does understanding that we're in a spiritual battle change the way you view everyday challenges and temptations?The sermon mentioned that the enemy often attacks during both hardship and success. Can you think of a time when you were more vulnerable to temptation during a season of blessing rather than difficulty?What does it mean practically to 'soak your shield in the faithfulness of God' rather than relying on your own faithfulness?The pastor shared about his disappointing doctor's appointment and how the enemy used that moment to send arrows of temptation. How do you typically respond when life doesn't go as you hoped?Romans 15:13 talks about the 'joy and peace that comes from trusting in Him.' How would you describe the difference between this kind of peace and the peace the world offers?Psalm 46:1 describes God as 'our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.' How have you experienced God as your refuge during difficult times?The ultimate goal of standing firm in spiritual battle is to continue sharing the gospel. How does understanding spiritual warfare motivate you to be more intentional about evangelism?Apply it!This week, identify one specific area where you've been believing the enemy's lies or giving in to temptation. Practice 'taking up the shield of faith' by daily reminding yourself of God's faithfulness in that area - either through remembering what He did at the cross or recalling how He has been faithful to you in the past. When temptation comes, immediately turn to prayer and declare God's truth over the enemy's lies.Key TakeawaysChristians are in a spiritual battle where Satan uses lies and temptations (flaming arrows) to get us to stop sharing the gospelThe shield of faith is not our faith itself, but God as our refuge and strength that we access through faithOur faith must be soaked in God's faithfulness (demonstrated at the cross and through His ongoing provision) rather than our own ability to hold onJoy and peace that come from trusting God extinguish the enemy's attacks by removing the kindling of fear, anxiety, and discontentment
