Well, working at DG comes with a wonderful fringe benefit.

I get to take in a lot of devotionals led by you, Pastor John.

These are off-air, private devotionals created as preludes to DG staff meetings and leadership

team meetings.

A lot of these devotional times together are an overflow from your huge investment in

look at the book, your video series, doodling on Bible texts.

And one of those recent DG devotional struck me, you were leading us on spiritual warfare

and taking us through the armor of God in Ephesians 6.

And you stopped in Ephesians 6, verse 12, where Paul reminds us that our enemies are not

flesh and blood.

Our enemy is a spiritual being, the devil and his forces.

That is our true enemy, and yet our enemy strikes at us through flesh and blood, a point

that you made from Ephesians 4, verse 14.

So can you walk us through the logical connections that you made that our enemy is not flesh

and blood?

But he works through flesh and blood.

Explain that.

So I was working my way through Ephesians 6 with a look at the book, and I got to chapter

6, verses 10 through 12, and what stopped me, puzzled me.

At least at first was not the affirmation that we have supernatural adversaries, but the

apparent denial that we have human adversaries.

Yeah.
