In this message, Coleton concludes the Lord's Prayer series by focusing on one of the most overlooked phrases Jesus ever taught us to pray: "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one." (Matthew 6:13) Many Christians are comfortable praying for daily needs, forgiveness, or God's will, but often neglect this final request. Yet Jesus intentionally ends His model prayer by teaching His followers to pray against spiritual evil. Coleton explains that this isn't reserved for unusually spiritual Christians or for a specific period of history—it is meant to become a normal part of every believer's prayer life. Using Scripture, historical examples, and practical application, Coleton reminds us that while Christians should never seek out spiritual warfare, we are also never called to ignore it. Instead, Jesus gives us a weapon: prayer. Through prayer, we ask God to fight for us, protect us, and advance His kingdom against the kingdom of darkness. Jesus Teaches Us that Prayer is Spiritual Warfare Coleton opens with a story from his father, who taught him never to start a fight—but if one became unavoidable, fight hard enough that the enemy would never forget it. He uses that illustration to explain Jesus' teaching. Jesus isn't telling Christians to obsess over demons or look for spiritual battles everywhere. Instead, He is preparing His followers for the reality that they already live in a spiritual war. Prayer is how believers fight. The Lord's Prayer gradually teaches us how to approach God: Our Father — Remember who you are talking to. Hallowed be Your Name — Worship Him and remember His greatness. Your Kingdom Come — Ask God to display His rule and goodness on earth. Give Us Daily Bread — Trust Him to provide what you need. Forgive Us Our Debts — Confess sin and receive His grace. Deliver Us from the Evil One — Ask God to protect you and defeat the enemy. Coleton points out that Jesus intentionally ends His model prayer here. That means fighting spiritual evil isn't an optional part of Christianity—it is part of ordinary Christian prayer. Bible Passage Matthew 6:9–13 1. Jesus Knows This Is What Is Really Wrong with the World Coleton explains that beneath every broken relationship, every injustice, every war, every addiction, every lie, and every act of rebellion lies a deeper spiritual problem. Jesus did not primarily come to overthrow governments or fix political systems. He came to destroy the works of Satan. The greatest enemy of humanity isn't another nation, another political party, another religion, or another group of people. The deepest problem is sin and the spiritual kingdom of darkness that opposes God's purposes. This explains why so much of Jesus' earthly ministry involved confronting demons, healing people oppressed by evil, and setting captives free. Rather than teaching His followers to hate people, Jesus commanded them to: Love their enemies. Pray for those who persecute them. Turn the other cheek. But when it comes to Satan and spiritual evil, Jesus tells believers to fight. Coleton spends time explaining Daniel 10, where Daniel prayed for understanding for twenty-one days. God immediately heard his prayer, yet an angel was delayed because of conflict with spiritual powers described as the "Prince of Persia." This passage offers a glimpse behind the curtain of history. Events on earth often reflect a much greater conflict taking place in the unseen spiritual realm. Paul teaches the same reality in Ephesians: our true struggle is never against flesh and blood. That changes how Christians view the world. Instead of seeing people as the enemy, we begin praying against the spiritual forces influencing hearts, cultures, governments, and communities. Bible Passages Matthew 6:13 1 John 3:8 Daniel 10 Ephesians 6:12 Quotes "Spiritual beings are associated with nation-states... Michael fights for God's people, while the prince of Persia is a demonic power." — D.A. Carson "Daniel was learning that the ultimate power struggle was fought out in a realm of which most people know nothing... the world crises we see are reflections of an older, more ruthless conflict." — Sinclair Ferguson 2. Jesus Knows Every Believer Will Experience Spiritual Conflict Coleton reminds us that no one escapes spiritual warfare. Whether someone believes in Christ or not, the enemy is active. For unbelievers, Satan blinds people from seeing the beauty of the gospel. This explains why many reject Christ despite God's incredible offer of mercy. For believers, conversion does not end the battle. In many ways, it begins a new one. Peter warns Christians that the devil prowls like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Paul tells believers to put on the armor of God because spiritual conflict is inevitable. Coleton carefully avoids extremes. He reminds the church that not every hardship is caused by demons. Not every sickness... Not every temptation... Not every mental illness... Not ...
