Ephesians 6:10-13

Second Command:______________________________________ (verse 11)

Satan has ___________________ that he uses against us.

Satan is a ______________________.
Isaiah 14:12-15

Satan is the ‘_____________________________.’
2 Corinthians 4:4 “In their case, the god of this world has blinded the minds of unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

We’re in a _______________________ against a _____________________________ and the ___________________________________.

Spiritual warfare consists of two key things:
1. __________________________ in your faith.
2. __________________________ with the gospel.

When spiritual attacks will come:
1. When you take a step of faith .
2. When you invade enemy territory.
3. When you expose Satan for who really he is.
4. When you break from sinful patterns.
5. When God is preparing you for something great.
