Spiritual Warfare and the Unseen Battle

Life Church · EDMOND, OK Preached Sunday, Oct 25, 2026 Ephesians 6:12

In week one of the Supernatural series, Pastor Greg Craig challenges believers to recognize the unseen spiritual warfare described in Ephesians 6:12, where the true struggle is not against people but against demonic forces and schemes. Drawing from 2 Kings 6 and Daniel 10, he shows that God hears prayer from the very first moment it is offered, even when answers are delayed by spiritual opposition. The message calls the church to stand firm in the full armor of God rather than fighting spiritual battles through human effort or fear.
