Pastor Dale reminded us that the joy of the Lord is our strength. We get that joy as a side-effect of being with our Lord and Savior. Our faith will be tested, and that produces patience. Be doers of the word, and see yourself strong in Him.

Using many scriptures, Pastor Dale explains what we should resist and how to build yourself up in faith. We are to stand against the devil, because God wants us to have the victory.

Texts: I Tim. 6:11, 12; Eph. 6:10. Fight the good fight of faith, trusting in the Lord and His power and strength. Don’t let Satan use his strategies to steal your joy, because joy is your strength. It may be years later that Satan’s strategies affect us. We put off the old way of life, and we put on the armor of God, which is the character of God. Knowing the purposes of God for your life gives you hope. You do have victory over the works of the devil. Don’t be afraid of the devil, and don’t engage the devil in a battle you’ve already won.

Eph. 6:10-18 is a summary of the book of Ephesians. We are positioned over Satan, principalities, and powers. You don’t wrestle with armor on. You stand (not struggle) against the principalities and powers with the armor on. You’re seated above your enemies, and you put your feet on the enemy’s neck. Look at the things that are provided by the Lord. God moves through the Spirit:

This sermon was preached at Grace Chapel with our Amish brothers and sisters. Preaching on Eph. 6 and the armor of God, Pastor Dale reminds us that if we’re not set free in some area, it’s because we have not accepted a truth. There is strength when the Body of Christ comes together in unity and truth.

Do you know what you are to put off, and what you’re to put on? What about sin, the flesh, righteousness, the responsibilities of the Spirit, bitterness, wrath, clamor, evil speaking, malice, the devil? Find out what the relationship of the flesh is to our spirit.

A big part of our armor and strength is focusing on and spending time with the Lord Jesus Christ. The armor is the truth of the Word, so that we can stand and occupy. (Eph. 6:10-18)

Listen to this powerful service as Pastor Dale focuses on submitting to God and withstanding and resisting Satan’s strategies and timing, causing him to flee. During ministry time Scott Auchenbach ministered a song and words were shared by several women, Teri Armstrong, and Ben Stoltzfus.

In this sermon on the armor of God, Pastor Dale preaches on our righteousness and relationship. Listen to find out if relationship comes first or fellowship. (Eph. 6; Luke 1:13-15, 31-32; II Cor. 5:17, 21; I John 1:1-10; Heb. 9:14, Heb. 10:1-2; Rom. 8:37-39)

Eph. 6:10-18 presents the armor of God. Did you know that what we think is warfare against the enemy might really be fighting our flesh to get the armor on? This powerful sermon addresses our thought patterns and describes symptoms of a mind under attack. Learn how to gain victory in your mind.
