This week, Pastor Stefanie highlights the necessity of spiritual readiness in facing life's battles, attributing societal issues to a turning away from God. Drawing from Ephesians 6:10-13, we are urged to wear the full armor of God and combat unseen spiritual battles with faith and prayer.
We'll learn about recognizing the enemy's tactics, examining thoughts, and repenting of sins that give the importance of being filled with the Holy Spirit, walking in faith, and allowing God to transform hearts.
Discussion Questions:
1. Read Ephesians 6:10-13. What are some situations you have faced this week in which you needed spiritual armor to take a stand against the devil’s schemes?
2. If someone were allowed access to your thoughts for one day, would they be able to tell that you were in a spiritual battle?
3. Take a moment and interrogate your thoughts, whose voice seems the loudest in this season, your voice, God’s voice, or the voice of the enemy? How can you tell the difference?
4. Get into groups of 2 or 3. Read Acts 3:19 together.
- Confess your sins
- Renounce any lies you are believing. Example: “I renounce the lie that I am unloved and unwanted”
- Repent and Return
- Pray to be filled again
