Demons, Satan, and the powers of darkness are real and at work. Do you know how to recognize and combat them? Chip begins "The Invisible War" with an overview of who the Enemy is and how they operate.

• GENERAL Command (Eph. 6:10) “Allow yourself to be continually strengthened by the power already made available to you in your new position and relationship with Christ.” It is the power that raised Christ from the dead and now dwells in you.
• SPECIFIC Command (Eph. 6:11) How? By continually and repeatedly putting on, at specific points in time, the spiritual protection God has provided for you... for the express purpose of holding on to your position in Christ as you are bombarded by Satanic strategies designed to destroy you and/or render you ineffective in Kingdom pursuits.
• The REASON for Commands (Eph. 6:12) It’s because our real struggle is not against physical/material adversaries, but against a hierarchy of demonic forces doing battle in the spiritual realm.

Five basic truths about spiritual warfare:

1. There is an INVISIBLE world that is just as real as the visible world.
2. We are involved in an invisible WAR, a cosmic conflict that has eternal implications.
3. Our foe is FORMIDABLE and his goal is to destroy us and discredit the cause of Christ.
4. We must RESPECT our foe, but not FEAR him – become acutely aware of his “methods,” but not be preoccupied by them.
5. As believers in Christ, we do not fight “for” victory, we fight “FROM” victory. In Christ’s power we are invincible!

Summary:

1. Satan is a DEFEATED foe. -Jn 12:31
2. Jesus DESTROYED the work of the devil. -Col 2:14-15
3. We are VICTORS in Christ. -1 Cor 15:55-58
4. We have the POWER and resources to resist Satan and demonic attacks. -1 Jn 4:4
5. We must LEARN how to put on the “full armor of God” to experience in daily living the victory we already possess. -Eph 6:13-17
