The "Devil"


Ephesians 6:10-12
"Be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, that you may be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggles are not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."

How does he attack
  • As a roaring lion (1 Peter 5:8)
  • As a friend (Genesis 3: 4-5)
  • As an angel of light (Genesis 3:1-3)
When does he attack
  • When you are afflicted and depressed (Job 1-2)
  • When you have one a great victory (Matthew 16:15)
  • When you are doing nothing (2 Samual 11)
How do we counter-attack this in faith integrated schools
  • Prayer Partners - confidential and private relationship with another student to keep them in prayer for the semester
  • Prayer requests
  • Devotionals dicussing topics on stress, depression, knowing and doing God's will, and the purpose of life.
Why partner?
  • Keeps your partner in check buy avoiding the 7 sins
  • Get people praying for each other
