Epic Journey Podcast #11 – Unified Team Part 1 – Episode Notes
You are often fighting an unseen enemy whose main goal is division and destruction. satan is like a hit and run driver. He swoops in and wreaks havoc, and then goes on his way leaving behind a big mess to clean up and you assume it must be your spouse’s fault… and the fighting or silence begins.
But WAIT! God has given you everything you need to fight good fights!
He has given you weapons to WIN.
It’s time to pick up your weapons and fight the good fight for your marriage!
Here is a great hidden treasure from scripture, and if you truly take hold of this God is going to give you a new perspective of your mate.
In Ecclesiastes 4:9 ESV It says this,
9 Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil.
(He expects that you will be working together)
10 For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow.
(you are intended to be a source of encouragement and support for each other, not criticism against each other when you get knocked down. This might be a bad habit on how you try to resolve conflict and you can learn a better way)
But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! (Life is hard. You’re going to get knocked down. God knows you need each other. He doesn’t want you isolated and alone)
11 Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? 12 And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
The power of two against one is strong but your power with God makes three and is not easily broken. Your unity has strength and power and is a HUGE advantage!
Becoming more aware of the enemy’s tactics will position you for winning and staying unified as a team.
John Bevere – The Bait of Satan
Beware of choosing to be offended by your spouses’ actions! This is a tactic of the enemy and instead choose to resolve conflict in healthier ways by making agreements with God about your spouse.
God has a purpose for you as a unified team, He has assignments, a call to contribute and the enemy does not want this to happen. It is very effective to distract you from the impact you are designed to have by creating conflict that doesn’t get resolved, or unforgiveness, or choosing to be offended.
When you’re not unified as a team you are not able to accomplish what a unified team can accomplish.
Put on your armor and pick up your weapons.

The Whole Armor of God
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against...
