How to be a man March 26th GRUB@ 6:45, MTG @7:15 HillSpring Church. Looking for your thoughts ideas and topics.

  -  The term warfare is used only 5 times in the NT and never in the context of the devil. 

2 Cor. 10:3-5 Mental bondage

Tim. 1:18 a prophetic word to war the good war

2 Tim. 2:4 no man wars with the worlds affairs, details

James 4:1 war against the flesh

1 Peter 2:11 war against the flesh

The difference is stratos (warfare) and pal-ay wrestle. 

We have already won the war… but we will wrestle 

• pal-ay

Wrestle as if its life or death.

But the difference again is we wrestle and we war over over thoughts, mindsets and voices.

If we don’t wrestle as if it's life and death. Then we open up doors to Satan, where he can get a foothold and intern, allow demonic spirits to attach themselves to our behavior. 

Eph. 4:27 and do not give the devil a foothold.  

Foothold GK - opportunity, power, occasion for acting

DO NOT GIVE HIM A SEAT AT THE TABLE - HE WILL TAKE CONTROL.

Give him an inch and he will take a mile…

Give him an inch and he will take your mind.

***20 years ago in youth ministry we were trying to stop kids from cutting themselves, and now we are encouraging kids to cut things off! 

WHY? We gave him a seat at the table!

The battle always starts in the mind.

Do your thoughts align with scripture?
