Our Struggle
(Eph. 6:10~12)
Today, the diseases of spirit, soul and body that we suffer come fundamentally due to the work of the devil. Because Adam and Eve fell for the temptation of the devil, sins, filthiness, diseases, curses and death came into the life of human beings. Even today, the devil tries to steal and kill and destroy people’s lives by tempting them. When the temptations of the devil come, we must firmly stand against the devil.
1. Defeat the devil’s temptation
1) The devil tempted Adam and Eve with the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does. Even today, the devil tempts people with the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does.
2) Adam fell for the temptation of the devil. But Jesus firmly defeated the devil’s temptation with the word of God. When the devil’s temptations come, we must also firmly stand against them.
2. Put on the full armor of God
1) 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. Therefore, to stand against the devil, we must not fight with man’s strength, but put on the full armor of God.
2) You must have the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. You must take up the shield of faith and take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
3. Arm yourself with the Word of God
1) To stand against the devil, we must have the word of God and the help of the Holy Spirit. If we fill our hearts with the word, the Holy Spirit hovers over the word that the works of changes and creation come.
2) If we rely on the word of God and move forward with faith, diseases are healed because the devil leaves.
4. Pray in the Holy Spirit
1) To stand against the devil, we must always pray in the Holy Spirit and stay awake spiritually.
2) If we don’t give up and pray no matter what kind of situations we face, God personally delivers us.
