Is That Really Spiritual Warfare, or Just a Hard Week?

Is what you're going through right now spiritual warfare, or just an ordinary hard week? It's a question every serious Christian eventually asks, and Scripture actually gives us an answer. In this message, Pastor John S. Dickerson walks through 1 Peter 5:8, "Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour," and explains the balance between ignoring spiritual warfare completely and seeing a demon behind every bush. He shares an encouraging reframe: when you get serious about God's kingdom and start to sense real opposition, it isn't a reason to be afraid, it's often a sign you're doing something that actually matters to God. If you've been wondering whether the resistance, discouragement, or attacks you're facing are spiritual in nature, this message will help you become alert and sober minded without living in fear, because your enemy has already been defeated.
