Pastor Kevin Sutherland | October Series: SUPERNATURAL - What The Bible Really Says About The Invisible World | Elevate Miami Church

In a season that glorifies evil, we uncover the Truth: satan is a defeated foe. Many Christians believe Satan and the Holy Spirit are merely symbols, yet the Word of God reveals a very real invisible world.

In this foundational message, Pastor Kevin defines the two worlds we live in and how to win the ideological war for truth.

Sermon Notes:

I. Define The Two Worlds

The Natural World: The world of the senses. Subject to change - weather, time, emotions, economy.

The Unseen World: Not subject to change. It operates according to Truth and agreement/disagreement with that Truth. As Paul says in 2 Corinthians 4:18, what is seen is temporal, what is NOT seen is eternal. Unseen does not mean imaginary.

II. The Law of The Spirit

Like the law of gravity vs. aerodynamics. An airplane is bound by a lower law until it operates by a higher law (lift and thrust). You cannot fulfill your purpose bound by the lower law.

III. The Reality of The Battle

A. The spiritual world is real and operates differently than this world.

B. There is a battle everyone is part of. A high-ranking angel sought to dethrone The Lord, lost, and was cast down. Mankind was meant to cast him further down, but came into agreement with demonic philosophy instead.

C. The war is an ideological / information war - Kosmos - truth vs. lies.

IV. How The Spirit World Works: Agreement

2 Corinthians 11:3 - The serpent beguiled Eve through subtlety. Beguiled = manipulated. He corrupts perception through eyes, emotions, and physical circumstances.

Strongholds are imaginations and perceptions viewed through fleshly human reasoning. Proverbs 23:7 - As a person believes in their heart, so are they.

V. Our Victory: Perception and Activation

Romans 12:2 - Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

Faith (pistos): To lay hold of, to trust and act upon the promises of God.

Truth (Hebrew Emet: firm, reliable / Greek Aletheia: to uncover, see past a veil)

Activation Prayer included in this message.
