Spiritual Warfare: Understanding Biblical Truths & Satan's Deceptions (Unabridged‪)‬

Conflicts are part of life. Strong conflicts become battles. Conflicts and battles in our lives may not be spiritual warfare. There are six main areas of your life where you may have battles and conflict, but they are not spiritual warfare. These require a different strategy. So before engaging in spiritual warfare, one must look at these areas to see if they are the root of conflict. It is tempting to find something to blame for our struggles. We must be careful not to give too much credit to Satan for our troubles, thus holding ourselves back from personal victories in conflict resolution with God's guidance. Not all battles are spiritual warfare. After determining the conflict or battle is being waged by Satan and his evildoers, then you are ready to begin spiritual warfare. The enemy's plan is to hinder our growth and effectiveness in the battle for souls. The better we understand the source of the fight, the more capably we can partner with God to defeat the enemy. Spiritual warfare is a battle of who has authority in and over our lives. The warfare is whatever is keeping you from being all you should be as a person and hindering the effectiveness of your work. We are never in the battle alone.
