Here are the handouts for Faith Fellowship Church for Sunday November 10, 2013.

• (Ephesians 6:10–13 NKJV) ¹⁰ Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. ¹¹ Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. ¹² For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. ¹³ Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Much of our unholy warfare is a result of fear and our lack of trust!
We don’t really believe that God will take care of us, so we have to do it ourselves. When we become frightened, we do not trust in God. We default to self-preservation mode. We defend ourselves and we fall prey to the scheme of the devil.

Too often we do not find our strength in God. When the battle presents itself, we resort to fighting like a mere human. And we inevitably lose whether we realize this or not.

Our adversary, the devil, is a powerful, super-natural being who is more familiar with the ways of Earth than any human. Effective and deadly in his schemes he is out to deceive the entire world. But, as mind-boggling as it may seem, we sometimes think that we are the exception and we don’t give proper attention to God’s instruction. And we fall. And the biggest irony is that this deceived person doesn’t know he has fallen because, well, he’s deceived.
