STAND FIRM - NO EXCUSES MINISTRIES

#jesus #church #sermon #jesus #church #christianity There is no portion of your life - good or bad - that God can't and won't use for your good and His glory if you let Him.
In a sermon titled 'Stand Firm', Pastor Joel Tassiello revolves around Ephesians 6:12 and elaborates on the interpretation of spiritual warfare. With comprehensive understanding, he imparts the idea that hostility, according to this verse, is not with human beings but with the spiritual entities. Drawing parallels between John 1:1 and Ephesians 6:12, he augments this concept, emphasizing on spiritual wickedness as the real enemy. Revolving around defence, Pastor Joel stresses on the imperative of defensive strategies, rather than aggressiveness in spiritual battles, using the symbolism of a dagger to elucidate the idea. Arguing that humans are not adversaries, he co-relates 'having a house' and its appeal to the demonic realm. Venturing further into the realms of spiritual warfare, he deep dives into the ideation that battle against demonic forces is a close and deadly combat, stressing on the intensity of spiritual confrontations. Interpreting the Greek word for "wrestle", he adds more relevance to this claim. On a related note, he dives into the nature of spiritual enemies we combat, spanning from principalities, powers to rulers of darkness and spiritual wickedness. He discussed the demonic hierarchy and emphasized on the unity within these realms, contrasting it to the rivalry and competition amongst believers. In the concluding part of the sermon, Pastor Joel discusses Christ's triumph over the principalities through his death and resurrection, which awarded him the authority over nations. However, he explains that these powers still operate because of the allegiance they receive from people. He stresses on the necessity for believers to convert people to Christ as a method of killing the power of these principalities. Throughout this sermon, Pastor Joel consistently nudges believers to arm themselves with the armor of God and to protect themselves rather than provoking fights. He underscores the importance of standing together in unity in the spiritual warfare.
