Spiritual Warfare and Victory through Jesus
Foundations Course
Evening 8
Kingdom warfare (B)
Let’s first watch the teaching video Unit 4, from 14:20 minute
This week we look at how the Bible says to resist Satan
In the video the teacher uses
rhema
word.
The Greek word Rhema is the spoken word.
The Greek word Logos is the written word.
There are several reasons why we don’t need to be afraid for the battle against Satan.
The Bible says:
The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the
beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work
(1 John 3:8).
犯罪的是属魔鬼，因为魔鬼从起初就犯罪。神的儿子显现出来，为要除灭魔鬼的作为。
Question 2: What is the devil’s work?
魔鬼的工作是什么？
(John 10:10)
The apostle John also said:
You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in
you is greater than the one who is in the world
(1 John 4:4).
小子们哪，你们是属
神的，并且胜了他们；因为那在你们里面的，比那在世界上的更大。
Question 1: What is one of the main reasons that God sent His Son?
Question 3: Who is the one who is in you?
那在你们里面的
”
指的是谁？
Question 4:
Who is the one who is in the world?
那在世界上的
指的是谁？
Question 5: Was that a defeat of Christ or a victory? And why?
In Colossians chapter 2 we read:
13
When you were dead in your sins
and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with
Christ. He forgave us all our sins,
14
having canceled the charge of our
legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has
taken it away, nailing it to the cross.
15
And having disarmed the
powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them,
triumphing over them by the cross.
13
你们从前在过犯和未受割礼
的肉体中死了，神赦免了你们
一切过犯，便叫你们与基督一同活
过来；
14
又涂抹了在律例上所写、攻击我们、有碍于我们的字据，
把它撤去，钉在十字架上。
15
既将一切执政的、掌权的掳来，明
显给众人看，就仗着十字架夸胜。
Question 6: What happened legally at the cross?
请用这段经文解释主在十字架上的死所发生的法律效力。
Is this most important event in human history offering justification to the believer?
JESUS’ VICTORY
The cross
breaks the power
of our fear of death
十字架破除了死亡恐惧的控制
Notice what Hebrews 2 says about that
14
Since the children have flesh and blood,
H
e too
shared in their humanity so that by his death He might break the power of him who holds the
power of death—that is, the devil —
15
and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by
their fear of death.
14
儿女既同有血肉之体，他也照样亲自成了血肉之体，特要借着死败坏
那掌死权的，就是魔鬼，
15
并要释放那些一生因怕死而为奴仆的人。
Question 7. Try to explain the connection between Jesus becoming a “flesh and blood” human
being and breaking Satan’s "power of death”. How did this work? Does this free us from slavery?
耶稣自己成为“血肉之体”，但又破除了撒旦对死亡的权势，这两者之间有何联系？
Resist Satan’s plan in different situations
在不同情况下破坏撒旦的计谋
Question 8
What do we do with anger? Look at Ephesians 4
26
Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,
27
and do not give the devil a foothold.
26
生气却不要犯罪；
不可含怒到日落
27
也不可给魔鬼留地步。
How should we manage our anger?
God is a God of love, peace and truth.
Satan hates that; he wants us to live in sin and slavery.
Therefore, Jesus taught His disciples in John 8
31
To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples.
32
Then you
will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
31
耶稣对信他的犹太人说：
“
你们若常常遵守我的道，就真是
我的门徒；
32
你们必晓得真理，真理必叫你们得以自由。
Question 9: Explain how these things, Jesus said to do, can work in our personal lives.
请解释耶稣吩咐我们去做的事情如何可以帮助我们的个人生命？
James has a radical statement for us:
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will
flee from you
(James 4:7-8)
.
故此，你们要顺服
神。务要抵挡魔鬼，魔鬼就必离开你们逃跑了。
Question 10: When is the devil afraid for us and why?
Our battle against Satan: put on the armor of God
11
Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the
devil’s schemes.
12
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but
against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark
world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
13
Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil
comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done
everything, to stand
(Ephesians 6:11-13).
Belt of truth (14)
Breastplate of righteousness (14)
Sandals (15)
Shield of faith (16)
Helmet of salvation (17)
Sword of the Spirit (17)
Question 12: What should we, soldiers in the army of the Lord
pray for (verses18-20)?
Difference between defeated and destroyed
Jesus defeated Satan’s power by dying on the cross for the remission of all our sins.
When Jesus resurrected from the death on the third day, He defeated and dethroned Satan, the
‘king’ of death in the kingdom of darkness.
We can say that Satan lost his destructive power but was not yet destroyed completely.
In the Revelation of Jesus, we read about the future.
At Jesus’ second advent to earth (Revelation 1:7) and the beginning of His Millennial Kingdom,
Satan will be thrown in a bottomless pit - the Abyss - and be bound
for a 1,000 years (Revelation 20:1-3).
In the Judgment of Satan at the end of Jesus’ Millennial Kingdom is prophesied that Satan will finally
be thrown in the lake of fire and destroyed (Revelation 20:10).
After that, the redeemed will enter eternity.
Summary
We have seen different areas in which God has provided victory over Satan. We never have to fear him.
He was defeated by Christ on the cross. His only power comes when we choose to sin. But Christ’s blood
cleanses us from sin (1 John 1:9), and then we are again protected. Let’s keep alert in prayer and guard
our behavior and our lives will grow stronger and wiser!
总结：我们看到神在各方面都已胜过撒旦。
我们从来不必怕他。
他已被十字架上的基督击败。
当我们选择犯罪时，撒旦才会得逞。但是，基督的宝血洗净我们的罪，我们仍然在主的保护之下。
让我们警醒祷告、谨慎行事，这样我们的生命将变得更坚强、更有智慧！
