Spiritual Warfare 301: How to Do Battle with the Enemy and Win, Part 1

Chip relates the most fearful encounter with demons he ever faced and how you can prepare yourself to do battle with the Enemy.Four facts you need to knowGod has objectively defeated Satan. He has delivered us from sin’s penalty and power. In the interim, we are involved in guerilla warfare with demonic forces.As believers, we have been transferred from the kingdom of darkness to the Kingdom of light with all the rights, privileges, and position a child of God entails.The spiritual battle involves a responsibility to “put on” the spiritual protection God has provided. We can resist the enemy’s attempts to deceive, accuse, and cast doubt when we stand firm.The great majority of spiritual warfare need never go beyond the regular practice of living out our position in Christ by faith. Our practice of the spiritual armor protects us from Satan’s attempts and minimizes any impact by the enemy.There are times however, when we must move beyond “standing firm” and ENGAGE the enemy in actual combatWhen taking significant steps of faith for spiritual growthWhen invading enemy territoryWhen exposing him for who he really isWhen we repent and make a “clean break” with the world, a long-held sin pattern, or an unholy relationshipWhen God is preparing us for a “great work” for His gloryHow to engage the enemy and win:Taking up the shield of FAITHTake the helmet of SALVATIONTake the sword of the SPIRITSummary: How to engage the enemy in spiritual warfarePrerequisite is a HEALTHY spiritual lifeUnderstand your POSITION in ChristDISCERN when demonic influence may be the causeClaim God’s promises OUT LOUDTake our authority and position in Christ to COMMAND demonic forces to cease their activity and departBroadcast ResourceThe Invisible War ResourcesMessage NotesAdditional Resource MentionsThe Invisible War Small Group OfferConnect888-333-6003WebsiteChip Ingram AppInstagramFacebookTwitterPartner With UsDonate Online888-333-6003
