0:00.0	The best gifts are not material but spiritual, not temporal, but eternal, and not earthly, and not earthly, but heavenly.
0:16.9	In the book of Ephesians, we discover a rich list of what God has given to his children.
0:23.1	Let's join Scott Pauley now as we open this portion of scripture and take inventory of all spiritual blessings that are ours in Christ.
0:40.7	With every blessing comes a battle.
0:45.6	With every good thing, there is always some conflict that accompanies it.

1:45.4	everything you need to fight the good fight of faith, everything you need to come out on the other
1:51.4	side of this war a victor through Jesus Christ.
1:55.2	Remember Paul wrote in another place to the church at Corinth that the weapons of our warfare
1:59.6	are not carnal or fleshly,
2:01.7	but they're mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.
