SPIRITUAL WARFARE
SPIRITUAL WARFARE
"For we are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood, but against the evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against those mighty powers of darkness who rule this world, and against wicked spirits in the heavenly realms."
We are engaged in spiritual warfare with the forces of darkness. Although the battle takes place in the invisible realm, any Christian that is trying to live for God, will soon discover that the battle is very real. The battle is raging in heaven and here on earth, in the unseen world and in the visible world, outside of time and in time.
Use every piece of God's armor to resist the enemy in the time of evil, so that after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand your ground, putting on the sturdy belt of truth and the body armor of God's righteousness. For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News, so that you will be fully prepared. In every battle you will need faith as your shield to stop the fiery arrows aimed at you by Satan. Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Pray at all times and on every occasion in the power of the Holy Spirit. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all Christians everywhere.
I believe that every Christian, young and old, should begin a serious study on the topic of "Spiritual Warfare." Today! Every Pastor, Youth Leader, and Sunday school teacher should teach on "spiritual warfare!"
How can you win a fight, if you don't even know your in a battle?

Read every verse in the bible that speaks about Satan & Demonic Spirits. Check out the web, there are many good sites that cover the topic of Spiritual Warfare. Pray to God for guidance. Start Today!

Pastor, do you want to change your church forever? Do you want every Demon in your town to go into a "Panic Attack?" Then; buy a copy of this book for every Family in your church, and give them out for free. Then; preach on "Spiritual Warfare" for the next 3 months. Then; Each month, buy 50 copies, and give them to another Church in your town, for free. Your city will never be the same again!
And No, I do not know Chip Ingram, or own stock in Baker Books. This is just one of the best books I've ever read on the topic of Spiritual Warfare.
John
It's time to take a stand! Against principalities. Against powers. Against the rulers of darkness. Against spiritual wickedness in high places.
BE CAREFUL! WATCH OUT FOR ATTACKS FROM THE DEVIL, YOUR GREAT ENEMY. HE PROWLS AROUND LIKE A ROARING LION, LOOKING FOR SOME VICTIM TO DEVOUR.

If you are a Christian, you will soon learn that the battle is very real, and very hard. At one of the lowest points in my entire life, I told a Christian friend, "I feel like I have been beat up so bad, that I have fallen, and I can't get up! And what's more, I don't want to get up! It would be easier for me, to just die!" He told me that's when he and the rest of our church, will pick me up, and carry me. If you ever feel that way. Hang in there. Just cry out to God! Like the song Say's; I can't do this alone Lord, I need you please, keep saving me. Savior Please, keep saving me.
Thank You Lord Jesus!
