Big Idea:  Many times people tend to battle their spiritual enemies in their own strength - a sure way to lose.  The ability to stand in the midst of spiritual conflict starts by knowing that we're dearly loved by God.  His strength and mighty power to protect us is activated by faith in who Jesus is, what He's done, and who we are in Christ.  We'll live in the victory that the Lord has already provided if we walk by faith in Him and not by sight.

Questions:

• What causes people to fight spiritual battles in their own strength?
• How are we to draw on the strength, power and spiritual protection the Lord has so freely given us?  
• If your spiritual enemies seem to be winning, what are some basic spiritual combat tactics that allow you to walk by faith and not by sight?
