#489: Which Shoes are You Wearing?

December 19, 2021 • Loren Hicks

The Big Idea:

In this spiritual battle, we need something that will give us stability. We need something to stand on. What are you standing on? What anchors your life? What gives you stability in the ups and downs of life? What is your foundation?

Main Points:

1. In Ephesians chapter 6, the Bible teaches us that we too are in a battle. It’s also a fierce, spiritual battle. We too, face an enemy who wants to destroy us.
2. Many do not believe they have ever encountered demons or spiritual darkness, but they are real. They just appear today in more subtle ways. Satan is not after your recognition. He’s after your destruction. Your faith, your hope, your sanity, your peace of mind, your encouragement, your family.
3. Paul says to put on your feet the “readiness” of the gospel. The word gospel means “good news.” He’s talking about peace. Jesus Christ provides us with a peace that Satan cannot give, and that Satan cannot take away. It is a peace that enables us to stand firm, regardless of what is happening around us.

Today’s Scripture Verses:

Ephesians 6:10-12 - “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”
