Deliver Us From Evil | Rev. Stephen A. Green | Nov 1, 2026

Main message: The sermon calls the church into a season of fasting, prayer, and spiritual warfare, using Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness as the model for defeating evil. The preacher argues that believers must confront evil with God’s Word, trust God in wilderness seasons, and expect deliverance and change.

Key points:

• Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, showing that testing often comes before destiny and ministry.
• The wilderness is where believers learn warfare, worship, prayer, and dependence on God.
• Fasting and prayer are presented as necessary spiritual weapons against the devil’s attacks.
• The sermon emphasizes using Scripture to resist temptation, following Jesus’ responses: “It is written.”
• The preacher connects spiritual struggle with broader social and political evil, urging action, resistance, and voting.
• The message concludes that evil has an expiration date and God will minister, strengthen, and deliver his people.
