| 0:00.0 | Thank you. Did you know we're living in a war zone? |
| 0:29.8 | There's a battle raging around us, even when things seem calm and the sky is clear. |
| 0:35.4 | Well, we're beginning a study on spiritual warfare on Truth for Life weekend, |
| 0:39.3 | and we'll start by getting a biblical understanding of the battle and our enemy. |
| 0:44.3 | Alistair Begg is teaching from Ephesians chapter 6, verses 10 through 12. |
| 0:56.8 | Ephesians chapter 6. |
| 1:02.4 | From now on, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. |
| 1:07.8 | Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. |
| 1:13.3 | For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, |
| 1:19.5 | against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God so that when |
| 1:25.2 | the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, |

| 1:47.3 | because as is so often the case, J.B. Phillips manages to clarify and make very striking the issue |
| 1:56.1 | that is before us. So this is Ephesion 6 and 10 following with the paraphrase done by Phillips. In conclusion, |
| 2:05.3 | be strong, not in yourselves, but in the Lord, in the power of his boundless resource. Put on |
| 2:14.6 | God's complete armor so that you can successfully resist all the devil's methods of attack. |
| 2:22.0 | For our fight is not against any physical enemy. It is against organizations and powers that are spiritual. |
| 2:29.7 | We are up against the unseen power that controls this dark world and spiritual agents from |
| 2:36.7 | the very headquarters of evil. |
| 2:40.2 | Therefore, you must wear the whole armor of God that you may be able to resist evil |
