Above all powers, Above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began
Above all kingdoms, Above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what you're worth

Crucified , Laid behind the stone
You lived to die, Rejected and alone
Like a rose trampled on the ground

You took the fall, And thought of me
Above all

Above all powers, Above all kings

Above all nature and all created things

Above all wisdom and all the ways of man

You were here before the world began

Above all kingdoms, Above all thrones

Above all wonders the world has ever known

Above all wealth and treasures of the earth

There's no way to measure what you're worth

Crucified , Laid behind the stone

You lived to die, Rejected and alone

Like a rose trampled on the ground



You took the fall, And thought of me

Above all

He Is Lord

He is Lord, He is Lord!

He is risen from the dead and he is Lord!

Every knee shall bow, every tongue confess

That Jesus Christ is Lord.

Preparing For the Battle

PREPARING FOR BATTLE
Ephesians 6:13-15

For we are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood, but against the evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against those mighty powers of darkness who rule this world, and against wicked spirits in the heavenly realms.
– Ephesians 6:12

SOME PRELIMINARY FACTS:

1. Satan was defeated at the Cross

God disarmed the evil rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross of Christ. – Colossians 2:15

2. Sin’s penalty was paid for all people for all time

For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit – 1 Peter 3:18 (NIV)

3. Sin’s power was broken

For the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you through Christ Jesus from the power of sin that leads to death.– Romans 8:2

4. Satan and his hosts engage in guerrilla warfare to discourage, deceive, divide, and destroy God’s people and God’s program

5. Christ followers are instructed to stand firm against Satanic attacks

HOW DO WE PREPARE FOR SATANIC ATTACKS?

Use every piece of God's armor to resist the enemy in the time of evil, so that after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand your ground, putting on the sturdy belt of truth and the body armor of God's righteousness. For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News, so that you will be fully prepared. – Ephesians 6:13-15

1. RESIST THE ENEMY

I want to live right, that God may use me

At any time and anywhere.

Lord, I will lift mine eyes to the hills
Knowing my help is coming from You
Your peace, You give me in time of the storm
You are the source of my strength
You are the strength of my life
I lift my hands in total praise to you
You are the source of my strength
You are the strength of my life
I lift my hands in total praise to you
Amen
