1. WHO IS YOUR ENEMY?

Then Amalek came and fought with Israel at Rephidim.

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.
Your Enemies:
The Devil
The World
The Flesh
The Full Armor of God:
Belt of Truth
Breastplate of Righteousness
Shoes of Peace
Shield of Faith
Helmet ofSalvation

“Remember what Amalek did to you on the way as you came out of Egypt, how he attacked you on the way when you were faint and weary, and cut off your tail, those who were lagging behind you, and he did not fear God …You shall not forget.
2. WHO IS YOUR ARMY?
Exodus 17:9
So Moses said to Joshua, “Choose for us men, and go out and fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand.”

3. WHAT IS YOUR STRATEGY?
Exodus 17:11-12
Whenever Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed, and whenever he lowered his hand, Amalek prevailed. But Moses’ hands grew weary, so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it, while Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side. So his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
Your Strategy:
Prayer
Worship
The Gospel
The Church
The Scriptures
4. WHEN IS YOUR VICTORY?
Exodus 17:13-16
And Joshua overwhelmed Amalek and his people with the sword. Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write this as a memorial in a book and recite it in the ears of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.” And Moses built an altar and called the name of it, The Lord Is My Banner, saying, “A hand upon the throne of the Lord! The Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.”
When You Win a Battle:
Write it.
Recite it.
Refuse it.
Remember it.
Refresh it.
