2007-10-14-0830 Pastor Loran Livingston is the speaker this morning October 14th, 2007 in the 8:30 service.Scripture Ref: I Peter 4:1-2; 5; Ephesians 6Topic: Spiritual WarfareNotes: - As we mimic the sufferings of Christ, we cease sin- War on terrorism parallels the spiritual war going on- Put on the whole armor of God; enemy has a plan to get at you- Cannot win against sin unless you are hiding the Word in your heart- The battle is won or lost in your mind- Battles will never cease in this life- Childhood story of wasp nest; take on the devil- We try to avoid Goliath but God put him there; it took Goliath to take David from the wilderness to the palace- The more time you spend in God’s presence, the more you hate evil-  God use you enemies to promote you- Once the enemy is stirred up, you cannot relax; keep fighting- Seeking who he may devour, needs permission- When I stay busy on my knees, in the ministry, I don’t have time to sin
