In 1898 a science fiction novelist called H.G. Wells wrote The War of the Worlds. His book talks a conflict between mankind and an alien race when Martians invade England. It has become a classic in its own right and has been presented by many people on radio and television and in Hollywood productions. In 1938, the Columbia Broadcasting network broadcast a special radio programme in two one-hour parts, starring Orson Welles. Uninterrupted by commercial breaks, it took the form of normal broadcasting that was interrupted by a series of supposed news flashes announcing that Martians had landed and were invading us. The producers’ aim of making it seem realistic worked so well, that people panicked and chaos set in. The authorities eventually asked the program to stop to allay the fears of the people.
One of the latest movies made was a Steven Spielberg creation, starring Tom Cruze. The enemy objective was portrayed as total annihilation... a complete, total and utter extermination of the human race.
Whilst we might not be waging a battle like that, we are in a battle nevertheless, often for our very existence, but the good news is that the outcome has already been decided. We win!

See the companion page The Armour of God... a biblically based presentation of Paul's letter to the church at Ephesus... a large church plagued with all sorts of problems. It will surprize you!
 

Paul wrote to correct major errors, adressing basically all major christian doctrines in this wonderful book full of revelation knowledge that applies to us today. In conclusion, he wrote...

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.  Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace.

In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.

Ephesians 6:10-20.
