Ephesians 2:1-10Ephesians 6:10-19

Ephesians 6:10-24 - Spiritual Warfare and the Armor of God by Calvary Chapel Irmo

Luke 11:1-2 (NKJV) Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.” So, He said to them, “when you pray, say: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.”

2 Corinthians 3:3 (NLT) “Clearly, YOU ARE A LETTER FROM CHRIST showing the result of our ministry among you. This “letter” is written not with pen and ink, but with the Spirit of the living God. It is carved not on tablets of stone, but on human hearts.”

Proverbs 29, Where there is no vision, no revelation, no DIVINE GUIDANCE, they do their own thing. MSG, “If people can't SEE WHAT GOD IS DOING, they stumble all over themselves.”

This week on Ministry Minute, we delve deeper into our 6-part series on the Armor of God. Today's message, entitled “Is Your Mind Made Up?” centers around the fifth piece of the Armor of God: The Helmet of Salvation. We discuss how each of us have to make a decision to truly follow Christ. We also explore how salvation is a free gift that is available to all who are willing to receive it. #JesusLovesYou #Salvation #MinistryMinuteIs Your Mind Made Up? | The Armor of God, Part 5 | Ministry Minute EP303Romans 10:9:That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.We all have sinned, we all have made mistakes, but in spite of our imperfections, a perfect God sent His Perfect Son to die for those very imperfect sins, so we can have eternal life. THAT'S REAL LOVE. THAT'S JESUS' LOVE. In order to receive this forgiveness you must confess and repent of your sins and accept Jesus Christ into your heart which you can do by saying this prayer wholeheartedly:Dear God,I confess and admit that I am a sinner, and I ask that You please forgive me and save me. I renounce and repent of all my sins, iniquities, and transgressions. I confess that Jesus, You are LORD, and I believe with all my heart that You died and rose again. I put my complete faith in Your finished works on the cross and I believe because of Your Blood that was shed, my sins can be forgiven. I ask that You be the Head of my life and the LORD of my life from this day forward, and I ask that You please help me to live for You all the days of my life.In Jesus Name I Pray,Amen.I'm Saved, What's Next:- Be Baptized In Jesus Name- Be Filled With The Holy Ghost- Live A Holy LifeJesus Is Soon To Return— BE READY!!#Christianity #Christian #Jesus #Bible #God #Faith #JesusChrist #Church #love #Bibleverse #Gospel #prayer #HolySpirit #Godisgood #pray #biblestudy #Scripture #hope #truth #religion #JesusLovesYou #worship #grace #JesusSaves #amen #blessed #Christianlivinghttps://www.joshuahopkinsstudios.com/productions/ministryminute

If your god is all-powerful, why does he need backup? Somewhere between “not against flesh and blood” and organized christian exorcism, the idea of spiritual warfare turned a metaphor about personal temptation turned into a full-blown cosmic battle plan — complete with the Armor of God from Ephesians 6!In this episode we trace how our old mate Paul's language about “principalities and powers” evolved into demon panic, virtue cosplay, holy war rhetoric, and modern evangelical spiritual warfare and culture war politics. From Origen's internal battle with sin to Bunyan's allegorical demon politics to 17th-century Catholic exorcism manuals, we unpack how spiritual warfare became a theological Swiss army knife — used to explain temptation, demon possession, dissent, minorities, skepticism, and culture war Christianity. When the enemy is invisible, it could be anyone.If this episode made you laugh, think, or quietly question reality, come join our little coalition of the reasonable at PATREON. Bonus content, early releases, and a community that prefers evidence over exorcism. Sauces: Ephesians 6, Origen's inner battles, Prudentius' virtue cosplay, a Vatican-approved exorcism handbook (1614), a Protestant demon engraving (1623), and John Bunyan naming his villains things like “Incredulity.” (Full sources available on request.)

Annette and I started with a word of prayer and by reading Ephesians 6:10-18. You will hear us talk what the Armor of God are and what they represent and where or how Paul got the inspiration of writing it. We will talk about why it is important to start the year, or I should say why we need to wear it not just the beginning of the year but to wear it daily in our lives. Make sure to stay tuned because you don't want to miss the rest of our conversation.

What we did What we didn't do How we stewarded what He entrusted to us This should sober us, not scare us. Salvation is secure, but stewardship still matters.

We must apply God's truth to ourselves first. —Pastor Tim Rice, speaking at Christian Fellowship Church in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota on 2-8-2026.

Luke 11:1 (NKJV) Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, “LORD TEACH US TO PRAY...”

2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NKJV) ALL SCRIPTURE is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. God knew that because of FREE WILL, humanity would have to have a POINT OF REFERENCE that truth stems from. So He put together a collection of books that we know as the Bible.

We must carefully study God's Word to rightly handle the Truth. —Pastor Tim Rice, speaking at Christian Fellowship Church in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota on 2-1-2026.

Wednesday Study, January 28, 2026 Teacher: Matthew Price

By Bart Bornhorst - With the coming Spring Holy Days, we're reminded of our calling from God. A very important part of our calling centers around the idea that we're to be warriors against sin. The apostle Paul understood this concept well, and he also understood that God didn't leave us defenseless in our battle

Ephesians 6:14-17

Armor of God: Belt of Truth Ephesians 6:14 Pastor Justin Grifford

Guest Spotlight  Today's episode features a conversation between Crosspoint host Josh Jackson and LTC Brittany Simmons, USA (Ret.). Brittany served 20 years in the Army Military Police Corps, including deployment to Iraq as a platoon leader from 2004-2005.  In this episode, Brittany challenges the common individualistic reading of the Armor of God passage in Ephesians 6. Drawing from her combat experience and understanding of Roman military formations, she explains why Paul's analogy was always meant to be understood not only individually, but also collectively—as a unit linking shields together, not isolated soldiers fighting alone.   She discusses finding battle buddies, the danger of spiritual isolation, and practical ways to intentionally build Christian community whether you're actively serving, recently relocated, or settled in one place.   Brittany also mentions two upcoming events, which women can attend for Biblical teaching, fellowship, and more:  OCF Leading Women: 20-22 March at White Sulphur Springs in Manns Choice, Pa.  Summer Celebration #4B (Women's Track): 28 June-3 July at Spring Canyon in Buena Vista, Colo.  If you would like to share your own story, complete the form on OCF's "Be a Guest" webpage. Alternatively, if you have an idea for a guest or topic we should consider for a future episode of the show, send an email to podcast@ocfusa.org.    Points to ponder  As you listen to this conversation with Brittany, here are a few questions to ponder in your personal time, with a small group, or with a mentor:  When you read Ephesians 6:10-18, do you naturally think of individual armor or collective defense? Why?  Who are the "battle buddies" in your spiritual life right now—people you're intentionally linking shields with?  Brittany mentions that in combat, soldiers who go off alone become the most vulnerable. Where in your spiritual life might you be trying to fight alone?  How does understanding prayer as "communication with the Commander" change the way you approach it—both individually and collectively?  What's one practical step you could take this week to find or deepen community with other believers?  How might your military experience give you unique insight to share with civilian Christians about the power of working together?    Ministry News  Read others' stories about impactful Conference Center visits: If you're considering a family retreat, ministry gathering, or just need to step away and breathe, check out stories from those who have enjoyed the same at OCF's Conference Centers.  Listen to OCF's newest podcast: Anchored & Armed, hosted by Mackenzie and Naomi, will feature authentic, relatable conversations about military life for women in uniform or women who love someone in uniform.

“Bring Your Bible” is a simple reminder for all of us that actually believe the Bible to be the Word of God, to take a closer look as to how we got to those beliefs. Seriously, Is this book we call The Holy Bible actually God's Word? As we said last week, we have to acknowledge that by design, there is an element of faith involved in accepting the Bible as The Word of God. THE BIBLE— (collection of books) 66 books, 40 writers, one author, 3 languages, over 1500 years The revelation of Jesus Christ and His Kingdom, came directly from Him to His creation.
