Beware the Thief: Spiritual Warfare Demands Vigilance

The enemy's intent in spiritual warfare is not trivial disturbances; it aims for total destruction through various temptations such as pride, shame, and lust. The methods used by the enemy are irrelevant as long as the objective of ensnaring the individual is achieved. In rejecting certain traditions, particularly those related to confession, newfound freedom can be overlooked. Embracing honesty is crucial for spiritual liberation, as hiding sins undermines the essence of the gospel, suggesting that Christ’s sacrifice is insufficient. Genuine faith allows for full acceptance of one’s flaws, reinforcing that the cross covers all aspects of life.
