SPIRITUAL WARFARE adrakes845@yahoo.comOctober 21, 2024Leave a comment SPIRITUAL WARFARESpiritual warfare, simply put, is a struggle between light and darkness. God has secured the victory, but Satan still attempts to wage war against God and His people. Light is sourced in God and infuses all that is good; darkness is sourced in Satan and permeates all that is evil.Luke 10:17–20The 70 disciples came back very happy. They said, “Lord, even demons obey us when we use the power and authority of your name!” Jesus said to them, “I watched Satan fall from heaven like lightning. I have given you the authority to trample snakes and scorpions and to destroy the enemy’s power. Nothing will hurt you. However, don’t be happy that evil spirits obey you. Be happy that your names are written in heaven.”2 Co 10:3–4Of course we are human, but we don’t fight like humans. The weapons we use in our fight are not made by humans. Rather, they are powerful weapons from God. With them we destroy people’s defenses, that is, their argumentsEph 6:12This is not a wrestling match against a human opponent. We are wrestling with rulers, authorities, the powers who govern this world of darkness, and spiritual forces that control evil in the heavenly world.1 Pe 5:8Keep your mind clear, and be alert. Your opponent the devil is prowling around like a roaring lion as he looks for someone to devour.I HOPE YOU FOUND THIS QUICK REFRESHER TO BE HELPFUL.Everlastingsalvationchurchofgod.comPASTOR ANDRA HIGGINBOTHAM
