Why are you here?
To serve God To help those who look for God To
share His love and His words to those who seek
them... These are all about others
3
Through our service, God shows us that it is time
for us to realize in our lives the reality that
in this world, we are part of a power struggle
4
The World Today
5
There are 2 kingdoms opposed to each other
6
We are now standing in the face of the greatest
historical confrontation humanity has gone
through. I do not think that... wide circles of
the Christian community realize this fully. We
are now facing the final confrontation between
the Church and the anti-Church, of the Gospel
versus the anti-Gospel.
7
GOD is rescuing us thru His son, JESUS CHRIST
8
Christian life is a constant battle against
evil, just as Jesus during his life had to
struggle against the devil and his many
temptations The devil tempted Jesus many times
and Jesus experienced temptation and persecution
throughout his lifetime. And he warned that
whoever wants to follow Jesus must be aware of
this reality.
9
All people are born into this battle for the
hearts, minds, souls of men People who are
instruments for other men's redemption are a
direct threat to Satan

Evangelism is the announcement, proclamation, and
preaching of the gospel, the good news of and
about Jesus Christ That Christ died for our
sins according to the Scriptures, that he was
buried, that he was raised on the third day

Evangelism is spiritual warfare Against the
rulers, authorities, powers of the dark world and
the spiritual forces of evil (Ephesians 612)

7th Piece Prayer
Prayer is talking to the Divine Sovereign God who
hears answers all our prayers, according to His
will Pray at every opportunity Undertake fasting
Pray without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians 517
32
The Armor of God
Prayers should be done as much as possible
together as a family or as a community When
people say the Rosary together, it is far more
formidable to the devil than one said privately
because in this public prayer it is an army that
is attacking him - St. Louis de Montfort
33
The Armor of God
Prayer is essential
34
Two More Things
35
Devotion to Angels especially to ones guardian
angel is a very powerful aid in spiritual
warfare that many tend to downplay Having a
devotion means not only having a public and
personal relationship with them but also trying
to imitate their angelic virtues in order to
venerate them
36
Devotion to ones Patron Saint The saint
whose name you bear is already assigned you from
your Baptism - St. Francis de Sales Getting to
know more about him, praying to him, making him a
model for ones life and often calling upon him
for aid is a very powerful help in growing in
holiness
37
Finally
Acknowledge Satan and his power Acknowledge that
thru the Holy Spirit, you have the power
authority over Satan Acknowledge that there will
be difficulties along the way Acknowledge that
this is a won victory
38
All people are part of this battle Are you with
Him or against Him?
39
We have a great
GOD
