Church's Power: Spiritual Weaponry

As a leader in the Church, you will face many battles. Some will be philosophical in nature. Some will be personality clashes. Others will be due to poor choices or sin. And, many situations will be spiritual wherein Satan seeks to disrupt God's work, so the Lord isn't glorified in your midst.

Sometimes problems that begin with a natural or fleshly cause can turn into a spiritual battle. The enemy finds inroads as we've opened the door because of sin. Church leaders must be aware of this potential and pull on the power of God to overcome.

Grab Hold of God's Power by Using Divine Spiritual Weaponry

God's Word tells us how to deal with spiritual battles:

Fight with divine weapons, not in our own strength. (2 Cor. 10:4)
Fortify against the foe with protection God provides. (Eph. 6:11)
Focus on the right battles. (Eph. 6:11-12)
Finish well. (Eph. 6:13)
