Building His Church | Four12

How do we use the breastplate of righteousness and shield of faith? In our spiritual battle, we need to know how to protect what is vital – God has given us the armour we need to stand firm and guard our salvation. Ephesians 6 points us to two important defensive weapons: the breastplate of righteousness and the shield of faith. Here, Andrew Selley unpacks how God’s grace gives us a new heart and forms righteousness within us, transforming us into His image. But if we sin, the shield of faith covers us because Jesus died for our mistakes. We live secure knowing that God’s ways keep us safe in the battle. This is a Four12 Podcast.

How does spiritual warfare really work? Many modern teachings about it are not biblical, drawing some believers into battles Scripture never tells us to fight. Satan’s primary weapon is deception, and he aims to misdirect us in the spiritual war. But the Bible shows us how we win as we submit to God, resist the devil, and advance the gospel one person at a time. Here, Andrew Selley challenges doctrines around binding and loosing, spiritual mapping, and naming demonic principalities or strongmen over regions. We need no new extra-biblical strategy – Christ has already disarmed powers and principalities.

How do we know if satan has deceived us? The enemy can get into our thoughts and quietly shape the way we think – capturing our beliefs in subtle ways that sound like truth, feel right, and confirm our biases. Spiritual deception can come through cultural ideologies, the media we consume, and our personal “bends”. Here, Andrew Selley encourages us not to be distracted by controversies, conspiracy theories, or political divisions, but rather to remain centred on Christ and test everything against God’s Word – keeping the gospel at the heart of our lives. Through God’s truth, we can take every thought captive and break down strongholds that keep us bound.

What is spiritual warfare, and how do we stand firm and win our battles? We are all in a spiritual fight, and the battle reaches into every area of our lives – from our thoughts and emotions to our marriages, relationships and churches, the enemy seeks to hinder us from taking hold of what God has for us. In this session, Andrew Selley brings greater clarity to the unseen realm, unpacking the nature of the spiritual forces we wrestle against and how satan gains influence. Yet we are called to overcome, stand firm, and see Jesus’ rule established, because He is the true King who rules and reigns over all. Where is God calling you to take new ground?

Why is taking new ground for God’s Kingdom such a battle? Extending God’s rule and reign, both in our lives and for His church, comes with opposition. Whenever God is birthing something new, resistance from the enemy will follow. Revelation 12 shows the dragon standing before the woman, ready to devour the child as soon as it is born – a picture of the enemy’s desire to destroy what God is establishing. Andrew Selley explores what this means as we advance God’s Kingdom, from external opposition to internal attacks through false teaching, compromise and temptation. Yet, our victory is secured in Christ as we remain close to God and yield to His Lordship.
