When you watch the news, observe the culture, see the evil that's happening around the world and the challenges in families.

Have you ever wondered what can I do? Is there any hope?

Today I want to tell you you're in a cosmic conflict and there's something that you can do that will make an absolutely vital difference in families, churches, communities and the nation that we live in.

It's a spiritual weapon that changes the course of history. Stay with me, learn what it is and how to use it.

Welcome to this edition of Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram.

The mission of these daily programs is to intentionally disciple Christians through the Bible teaching of Chip Ingram.

And we're nearing the end of this series, The Invisible War, what every believer needs to know about Satan, demons and spiritual warfare.

And the date chip is going to help us prepare for the intense moments when we're on the fucking lines of this epic battle.

So go in your Bibles, do Ephesians chapter 6 for today's talk, How to gain deliverance from demonic influence.

I want to read a story, it's a true story, comes out of a book that is sort of a devotional little book, but I want you to just listen.

A missionary was serving as a medic at a small field through a hospital in Africa.

Periodically had to travel by bicycle through the jungle to a nearby city for supplies.

It was a two day trip, so he had to camp out overnight.

It made the trip several times without incident.

One day, however, he arrived at his destination and saw that two men were fighting.

One was seriously hurt, so he treated him, witnessed to him, and went about his business.

Upon arriving in the city again, several weeks later, he was approached by the man that he had treated.

He said, I know you carry money in medicine, said the man to the missionary.

Some friends and I followed you into the jungle that night, after you treated me, knowing you would have to camp overnight.

We waited for you to go to sleep and we planned to kill you and take your money in the drugs.

Just as we started moving into the campsite, we saw that you were surrounded by 26 armed guards.

There were only six of us and we knew we couldn't possibly get near you, so we left.
