Friday Devotions - The Invisible but Real Enemy

Devotions – The Invisible but Real Enemy Ephesians 6:10-18. The enemy is Satan, he is powerful and real. Being a believer doesn’t make you immune from the attacks of the enemy, it actually makes you more likely to be attacked. But we can be confident because we have access to the power of the Father and the "weapons" he's given us to fight.

Jesus claimed that the entire Old Testament pointed to Him (Luke 24:27; John 5:46). Since the Book of Daniel is a part of the OT, let’s take a look to see how it points to Jesus.
