Battle Ready

Pastor Bryan
|
June 1, 2025

Main Idea

The sermon centered on the idea that being 'Battle Ready' is about spiritual preparation and awareness. Pastor Bryan reminded us that a war is won long before it reaches the battlefield—victory is forged in the preparation season. By putting on the full armor of God and leaning into His strength rather than our own, we are equipped to stand firm against the enemy. He challenged us to recognize the spiritual nature of our struggles, encouraging a mindset that is awake and ready, rather than spiritually asleep. As we prepare for the revival and outpouring of the Holy Spirit, this readiness is not just defensive but also proactive as we advance the Kingdom of God. It's about being aware of the enemy’s tactics, using spiritual discernment, and living empowered through the Holy Spirit.

Scripture References

Ephesians 6:10-13, John 15:4-5, Acts 1:8, Romans 13:11-12, 2 Corinthians 4:4

Summary

Pastor Bryan launched the 'Battle Ready' sermon series with a passionate reminder that we are in a spiritual battle that demands preparation. He urged us to be strengthened not by our own might, but by God's power, stressing the necessity of staying connected to the Holy Spirit. We were called to put on the full armor of God, acknowledging that every piece is crucial in standing against the enemy's schemes. He also emphasized the importance of recognizing our true enemy—not people, but the unseen spiritual forces of darkness. Pastor Bryan encouraged us to wake up, prepare our hearts, and get ready for the spiritual revival that God is ushering in. His message highlighted that we must not be caught unprepared like in his recurring nightmare, but instead be intentional in our preparation for the battles and opportunities ahead.
