Description
Ephesians 6:10-13 John 10:10  1. Your relationships are under attack He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. John 8:44 Your enemy isn’t your spouse, your parents, siblings, children, or boss.   2. The devil usually attacks with distractions and seductions. Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes that ruin the vineyards, our vineyards that are in bloom. Song of Solomon 2:15 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people … but rather thanksgiving. Ephesians 5:3 Play it forward: where is this distraction/seduction taking me? Is the end result something I want?   3. Take charge of your heart.   Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life. Proverbs 4:23 NLT You understand the source of a thought by looking at the direction it will take you. For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete. 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 Tear down the lies that try to tear your relationship apart. Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 1 Peter 4:8 Ask each other: where are we most vulnerable to spiritual attacks?   Fight back with the power of God. You have the power of His Word, the power of prayer, and the power of His love on your side!
