Spiritual Warfare

     Our hearts are the biggest battleground ever. The battle going on there is not between Axis and Allies, but it is a spiritual battle between God and Satan. In the next several articles, I just want you to picture this as a real battle, because even though we cannot see it, it is more real and more important than any war ever fought on earth. I’m just going to run through and give you a quick run-down on the topics of my next few blog articles.

Spiritual Warfare-Your Weapon of Choice

     We are blessed with an entire armory full of weapons for any situation; the Bible. None are necessarily “better” than the others, but it all depends on what you need at that moment. We will just do a quick overview of your weapon choices and other “add-ons”.

Spiritual Warfare-Knowing Your Weapon

     In this article, we’ll look at how to use each one effectively and at the right times. We’ll also have some practical examples of how to use the weapons, and look at what weapons work best in whatever situation you may be in right now.

Spiritual Warfare-Knowing Your Enemy

     We don’t even need a spy to figure out our enemy’s plans, because we have a book of all of his tactics, weapons, and how he uses his tools. With this, we can know how to counter him using our tools.

Spiritual Warfare-Making Allies

     If you are a Christian, the commander of your army is God, and your fellow infantry men (and women) are other Christians, but you have to make close allies, and this means accountability partners, Bible study groups, and the like, which help you in your spiritual fight.

Spiritual Warfare-Fighting the Battle

     How many years old are you? Well your battle has been going on for that long. But how well are you doing in your battle? It won’t be over until you die. So how do we effectively use the tools we have to fight the battle?

     This five-part series will hopefully put a slight dent in the issue of spiritual warfare. The literal sense of warfare helps us picture this a bit more practically, and that is why I have chosen that form.
