SPIRITUAL WARFARE 1: Kick Butt in the Spiritual Battle!

This post begins a series of posts sharing practical advice on handling the spiritual battles we face daily.

 Demonic activity in our world continues to increase in sensational ways as well as in the subtle nuances of everyday living. To our benefit, God has inspired several exorcists, demonologists, and psychologists to write very useful books on spiritual warfare that can aid our spiritual growth. Holy authors and saints of the past two millennia also provide much context on this. All will agree that liberation is contingent upon the spiritual work done by the person being accosted.

 This is important to note. Scripture tells us that the fallen angels are not in hell. Rather, they were left roaming the earth until the end of time. 

• “And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him”. (Rev. 12:9)
•  “upon your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat  all the days of your life” (Gen 3:14)
•  “And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.” (Job 1:7)
•  “Be sober, be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking some one to devour.” (1Peter 5:8)

Thus, still needed is the practical knowledge of how to battle the enemy as he creeps into our life through the cracks and crevices of our soul. Spiritual authors and exorcists typically separate Satan’s ordinary influences from his extraordinary actions and focus on the extraordinary. However, in our real lives we experience these intertwined. For this reason, this series of post will explain the spiritual battle from the perspective of the lived experience of it.

Sharing from the book, Kick Butt! The Quick Guide to Spiritual Warfare: Frontline Defense Strategies for Everyday Life   https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08T86NRG5/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i1   practical advice will be given to resist Satan’s sticky fingers as he tries to grasp onto your thoughts and lead your choices. When in desolation or under attack, it is difficult to remember the very actions to take that will liberate you. This quick guide can help you develop the small habits to overcome your enemy and lead to a life of peace in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
