Packing Heat - Week 1
“The Struggle is Real”
May 31, 2026
Matt Mizell



Satan wants to ________________________ you with ________________________ of drama.
(Ephesians 6:12)




It’s impossible to ________________________ exactly when Satan will ________________________.
(Ephesians 6:13, John 10:10, Ephesians 6:11, Ephesians 6:14-18)




The enemy wants to ________________________ you with a sneak attack, but packing heat with God’s Word allows you to ________________________ right back. (Psalm 119:11, John 11:35)

5. In what ways does “packing heat” with God’s Word help you fight against attacks from the enemy?
