Acts 19:11-20

Do you believe in an unseen world that works to influence actions in the physical world?

The Bible points to this world and it is vital to have some understanding of it to live in victory.

What does the unseen world have to do with us?

Ephesians 6:10-13

The Holy Spirit in the Word says there is a devil and he is scheming against you.

The devil is not like God.

Jesus speaks to what the enemy does. John 10:10

The unseen enemy starts his attack on us with lies. John 8:44

The enemy speaks to us. We see in the book of Job that God limits what he can do in the life of the believer.

The lesson in Job is to trust in God.

The enemy works to discourage us.

This is why we are charged to encourage each other and all the more as we see the Day approaching.

The enemy speaks to destroy unity.

The enemy speaks to destroy true doctrine.  

When you see something harmful to mankind and against the revealed Word of God being embraced and celebrated, you can be sure, the unseen world has been involved.

The believer is called to be aware of the devil's schemes.

2 Corinthians 4:4-5

1 John 2:10-11

The enemy has been speaking when there is a breakdown in the love of the body.

If you don’t recognize his working, you will not overcome him.

Rejoice with what is good.

Battle with what is evil.    

That battle is first against the unseen world.

James 4:7-10

Get your heart and actions right. Resist the devil.
