We were never designed to be alone.
God's declaration in Genesis is that we are not meant to be alone.
The Church that Jesus bought and what Christ is building is a Church of connected individuals, not unconnected islands.
Are you connected to His Flock, a functioning Body member and a living stone in His Temple?
The Lord’s Prayer (Mt. 6:9-13) is presented in the plural: we are never alone.
Spiritual Warfare (Eph. 6:10-17) is presented in the plural: we are never alone.
Resisting the devil (James 4:7) is presented in the plural: we are never alone.
Resisting the devil (1 Peter 5:9) is presented in the plural: we are never alone.
We all need to consider that as we look again at spiritual warfare and our duty to stand.
We stand, but as we look into Ephesians 6, we do not do so alone. Did you notice that every reference to us as believers in Ephesians 6:10-17 is plural?
We Do Not Face the Battle Alone
The verbs and pronouns point to us together. We all face the same battles, but we all face them together.
The Lord says through Paul that we are not to look at spiritual warfare as something we face alone.
We can only win in a community with other believers.
When we gather with believers, we are to talk about God’s Word, His promises, and His work in us.
Why? Because of the combination of:
Our Voices & Jesus’ Power
We were designed to operate best inside a Christ-shaped community of believers.
The description of spiritual warfare is a shared, personal battle.
This is most pronounced as we look at the Shield of Faith.
We must carry and use our own shield, but others around us can hold our arms.
Just like Moses needed his arms held up by Aaron and Hur so that Joshua could lead Israel to win the battle (Exodus 17:8-16). So we need one another.
How do other believers help us?
