Many picture evil as dark, loud, and easy to spot. However, Satan isn’t always most effective in obvious darkness, but rather in counterfeit light — something that looks real enough to fool you: half-truths, self-righteousness, compassion without holiness, "freedom" that's bondage to sin, and spirituality apart from Christ. Therefore, Paul tell the church, “Be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.” (Eph. 6:10–11)
In this series, we walk through Ephesians 6:10–18 to learn how to recognize the enemy’s schemes before they own you, discern the difference between the real thing and a religious counterfeit, stop fighting the wrong battles and the wrong people, and stand firm with God’s armor of truth, righteousness, readiness, faith, salvation, the Word, and prayer. This is a sober, biblical, and practical series for anyone who feels worn down, distracted, numb, anxious, tempted, or stuck. If you’ve ever said, “Something feels off, and I can’t explain it,” this series will help you see the battle and find strength to stand.
