Released July 11, 2016 by More Than a Song - Michelle Nezat

 

I'm sick and tired of being a prisoner of war. I'm ready to send my enemy running for the hills, aren't you? Crowder, in his new song "Run Devil Run," inspired me to create a strategy against the devil. It's all laid out for us in Scripture. It's time to get serious about our strategy against a very real enemy. Are you ready? On this episode I discuss: Story behind the song "Run Devil Run" - YouTube Video The enemy has a strategy - Ephesians 6:11 The main weapon of the devil is the LIE Department of Defense Strategy for Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Our formidable foe - Ephesians 6:12 Our strategy to fight the enemy Prepare Prevent acquisition Contain and reduce threats Respond to crises Taking a B.I.T.E. out of Scripture - our Bible Interaction Tool Exercises this week are: Slow down Read in various translations Repetition We are soldiers of Christ - see Episode 104 Studying a previous battle plan of the enemy - Genesis 3 The Lie: Destruction of Relationship - a video resource by my mentor How our strategy must include others - Ephesians 6:18 How we must be flexible and maintain robust situational awareness - Ephesians 6:18   Additional Resources Lyrics This Week's Challenge Be a good soldier this week. Spend some time preparing by studying a common battle plan of the enemy in Genesis 3. Prevent acquisition by filling your heart and mind with the truth of God's Word on a consistent basis. Contain and reduce threats by daily (even many times a day) putting on and securing the armor of God found in Ephesians 6. Respond to crises with flexibility, maintaining situational awareness and working with fellow believers. Don't hide. Don't blame. Know truth. Don't give up.
