Episode notes
Obedience Defines Spiritual Warfare
- Spiritual warfare is best summarized as obedience to God, which prepares us to stand firm against spiritual attacks.
- Victory in the Christian life comes from developing godly character, not formulas or special deliverance techniques.
Spiritual Warfare Is a Battle of Truth
- The primary battle of spiritual warfare is a war of ideas and truth against deception and false beliefs.
- Our weapons are divine truths that demolish strongholds built by lies and human reasoning against the gospel.
Armored by Truth and Scripture
- We wrestle not against flesh but against spiritual forces led by the devil with schemes to deceive and devour us.
- Standing firm by putting on the whole armor of God, especially wielding the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God, is our defense and offense.
