Ephesians Chapter 6
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Worship Suggestion:
The sound file is looped.
1. As the song plays the first time (During Verse 1) make remarks which bring to mind that "we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers." (Ephesians 6) This scripture is quite fitting for exactly this time in which we live as there are many challenges and crises. Pandemics, wars, and climate catastrophes are in God's hands. We must go forward and fight the good fight.
2. As the song continues, (During Verses 2 - 3) Read the scripture from the book of Ephesians 6: 10 - 18. Let the song end.
3. When the song restarts, sing Verses 1 - 3 together.
4. Prayer and Meditation.

Onward, Christian soldiers,
marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
going on before!
Christ, the royal Master,
leads against the foe;
Forward into battle,
see his banner go!

Refrain:
Onward, Christian soldiers,
marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
going on before!

At the sign of triumph
Satan's host doth flee;
On, then, Christian soldiers,
on to victory!
Hell's foundations quiver
at the shout of praise;
Brothers, lift your voices,
loud your anthems raise! (Refrain)

Like a mighty army
moves the church of God;
brothers, we are treading
where the saints have trod.
We are not divided,
all one body we,
one in hope and doctrine,
one in charity. (Refrain)
