Pastor Jack Graham | A Winning Walk | Prestonwood Baptist Church

Main message: The Christian life is spiritual warfare, and believers are called to know the enemy, put on the full armor of God, and stand firm in Christ through prayer, Scripture, humility, and community because Jesus has already won the victory.

Key points:

• We face three foes: the world (external pressures), the flesh (internal temptation), and the devil (the personal, supernatural adversary).
• Know the enemy: Satan was a fallen angel (Lucifer) who rebelled (Revelation 12); he is personal and active, with demonic forces operating in the unseen realm.
• Put on the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6): belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, gospel-prepared feet, shield of faith, helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit (God’s Word).
• Stand—repeated in Ephesians—relying on the Lord’s strength, not our own; practice spiritual disciplines (Bible, prayer, church) and humility to persevere.
• We have allies and assurance: angels minister, Psalm 91 promises protection, and Christ’s death and resurrection secured ultimate victory—so believers are overcomers.

Scriptures mentioned: Ephesians 6:10-17, Revelation 12:7-9, 1 John 5:19, John 8:44, Romans 7, Psalm 91
