Spiritual Warfare Research Paper

Silencing the enemy is a very fitting title for this book. It is fitting because the author, Robert Gay, explains how God suppresses the devices of the adversary through the praise and worship of His people. Although the term “spiritual warfare” is not found in scripture, Paul expounds on the concept throughout the New Testament. He encourages the saints to “Put on the whole armor of God that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil”. This scripture informs us that we are in a battle, a battle that has been raging since the beginning of time. It is not a battle that one can see with the naked eye. Nor is it a battle that is fought with natural weapons. It is a battle that is fought in the spirit world. Our methods of

Throughout the document, Mather is constantly depicting the Devil and spirits as very real, tangible enemies (e.g. descriptions of “invisible hands” and unexplained supernatural happenings), that were slowly infecting the Christian

Spiritual warfare is the fight of faith engaged by Christians against super mundane entities in the spirit realm. This may sound like a coded language that is why many people ask, what's spiritual warfare? Too many Christians have no knowledge about the seriousness of spiritual warfare. The battle for the control of human soul started in the Garden of Eden when Adam and Eve sinned against God. It's a battle between God and Satan, between good and evil, it's a kingdom battle, the kingdom of God with all the angels and Satan with fallen angels.

Temptation is certainly one of the devil’s main weapons. It takes many different forms. He’ll try, for example, to tempt us with sins of the flesh. Such as immorality, pleasure-seeking, destructive habits, and more. But if those don’t work he’ll tempt us with sins of the heart or mind: evil thoughts, wrong motives, anger, jealousy, and so forth. He’ll also attack us spiritually, trying to fill us with doubts, attempting to convince us that God doesn’t care about us, filling us with pride, and so forth. As we can see the devil has so many tools to shift our focus away from God. Because we are not perfect, we are prone to give into things and many Christians can confess to falling under any weapon the devil has used against them. Being a christian myself, I

In the book The Screwtape Letters by C. S. Lewis, one of the major themes is war. War is not just a conflict between one country and another; it is what people make out of it, and how people respond to it. In the book, The Screwtape Letters, it’s not talking about war against another country, the theme war is between heaven and hell. The book gives the reader a spiritual side of reality. C.S. Lewis gives us understandings into how the powers of evil work to trap and destroy humans who want to follow Christ. For Lewis, it is not an “obligation that we must be delivered from demons that possess and control us”; it is that we are constantly influenced and manipulated by them. The demons are finding new ways to corrupt and pollute, trying to make

Dagger Brigade may observe Americans and westerners operating within Poland, Ukraine, and the surrounding areas. Soldiers, at all levels, need to be aware of their presence and possible intent to gain access to operational information in order to support Russia.

Furthermore, this word in the Greek pronounces "dol ee o' o (δολιόω) which means to be deceitful, be crafty, be knavish." Paul informs that brethren, it's not those that you can see, nor touch it's higher. He says its principalities, powers that we are wrestling. The word principalities come from a Greek word meaning "beginning, origin, (νείκεος ἀ)." The texts are trailer to teach us that the devil is the source of all that is deceitful, crafty and knavishness. In verse 12 he is referring to as "ruler of darkness" this is the spiritual enemies that the brethren has to encounter. The believer's enemies are always amassing to do spiritual combat.

Paul would compare a classic war combatant to that of a believer. Furthermore, Michael Gudorf would have his reader believed that "the passage describes the art of exhibiting more than resistance to the enemy." At all times the believer must know that they are not alone in this battle. One writer by the name of James Howard stated that "the passage is better understood in a corporate rather than individualistic manner if read both as the content and rhetoric of the Epistle to Ephesians." As such the enemies of the believer's the demonic hosts of Satan, are assembled for mortal combat. Whereas, to be able to fight; the necessity of the believer is to be spiritually fit. Knowing that the battlefield is not a place to get ready, one must be prepared for the battle, this not for the faint nor the

Contrary to popular views, the devil and his fellow evil angels are real threats and enemies to the world, raging an all-out war against Christians, but it is important to remember that we are not fighting this war alone—God is there fighting for us.

Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour” 1 Peter 5:8 (ASB).

Ephesians 6:12 says, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

I understand there is spiritual warfare but so far I do not have time and proper guidance to reflect on this topic thoroughly. I know that some Christian do not even know that they have to be on guard against Satan and the demons. They do not think that they need to be ready for attacks and be able to protect themselves against the devil. They claim that they are in Christ and will not be affected. In reality Satan always comes against us but God leads His people out of persecution on His wings, and, continues to show images that deal with spiritual warfare just as He did in Exodus. My understanding is that spiritual warfare is the conflict of good versus evil and of light versus dark. It is rooted in history and has a future implication.

If you have not already encountered the enemy in your walk with God, just wait, because he will arrive eventually. It is an encounter that not even Jesus es-caped.

They attack what they do not know. They are worse than little children that have just learned that they can question why mommy and daddy do what they do. Their very denial of the reality of spiritual warfare leaves their minds darkened to the immutable quality of God’s unchanging purpose; a purpose that is righteous; higher than man’s puny little mind is able to fathom (Isaiah 55:8-9). They fail to see what God sees; to know what He knows (Isaiah 46:10). They attack the nature of God based only on the perversion of the physical evidence while completely discarding unseen realities that
