Topic: Opposing Satanic Opposition
Text: Ephesians 6:10
Teacher: Pastor Austin Dam
INTRODUCTION
To oppose satanic opposition, a believer must put on the whole armor of God and remain strong in faith. God has already provided victory through Jesus Christ.
WHAT IS SATANIC OPPOSITION
Satanic opposition refers to any hindrance, attack, obstruction, or resistance set up by the devil against:
• The blessings of God in a believer's life.
• The purpose and plan of God for a believer.
IMPORTANT LESSONS
1. Christ Has Already Won the Victory
Every challenge and opposition can be overcome because Jesus Christ has already defeated the powers of darkness.(Colossians 2:15)
2. Know Your Enemy
The enemy of every believer is Satan. Although he may operate through people, the real battle is against the devil and his agent. (1Peter 5:8)
3. Believers Have Authority in Christ
Our authority does not come from physical strength, intelligence, or position. It comes from Jesus Christ and His name. (Luke 10:19, Mark 16:17, Philippians 2:9-11)
4. The Name of Jesus Is Above Every Other Name
Every satanic opposition must bow to the name of Jesus because God has highly exalted His name above every other name. (Philippians 2:9-11)
5. Stand Strong in Faith
Knowing your authority is important, but exercising it requires steadfast faith. A believer must resist the devil firmly and confidently. (James 4:7, 1 Peter 5:9)
HOW TO OPPOSE SATANIC OPPOSITION
1. Put on the whole armor of God.
2. Be strong in the Lord.
3. Know your authority in Christ.
4. Use the name of Jesus in faith.
5. Resist the devil steadfastly.
6. Remain firm and unwavering in your faith.
As Christians, our victory is in Jesus Christ. Our weapon is the name of Jesus, and our effectiveness comes from knowing our authority in Him and standing firmly in faith against every satanic opposition.
