Calling the Devil's Bluff

The Devil’s attacks are some of the toughest things Christians face. Ephesians 6:12 says “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.” As pastor Brame explains, this word “wrestle” is no small tustle—but a mighty fight that we need to train for, and fight to win as the consequences are great.
The sermon is broken down in to first, understanding the tactics of the Devil, including his chief weapon: lying. We need to recognize the attacks of the Devil too—realizing the dark thoughts that come into the Christian’s mind are not the reality of who we are in Christ.
Then, winning the battle—Jesus being the victor. We are in him, and he always wins! Therefore, verse 10 says “be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.” Listen to the sermon for more on Calling the Devil’s Bluff.
