Spiritual Warfare & Introduction to the Supernatural Realm

Spiritual Warfare The only kind of “spiritual” warfare going on now is actually between the spiritual and another realm, either the natural, the supernatural or both. Even these battles are completely under God’s control. What Does “Spiritual” Mean? When we refer to something as “spiritual” we are saying it is from the same place and made of the same stuff as God; it is therefore eternal, righteous, perfect, holy, loving, kind, pure, unchanging, unchangeable, gentle, true, etc. The Soul & the Supernatural Realm Each of us is born with a soul. The soul is made up of mind, will and emotions. The soul is distinct from both the body and the spirit. The soul God gave each of us is the one He wanted us to have; it ain’t broke, and He is well pleased with it. Soulical Senses The soul relates to our selves and to others. Its senses include understanding, choosing, feeling, awareness of self and others (intuition) and sense of time. It is also in the soul that the so-called “spiritual” gifts are located: we can use the gifts without the spirit of God having anything to do with it. Supernatural Environment The supernatural or soulical environment consists of those areas between the natural and the spiritual. Our soulical senses work just as well (or as poorly) in heaven as in hell. Supernatural Warfare   Supernatural warfare, often erroneously called spiritual warfare, is waged between the inhabitants of the supernatural realm. This would be angels, demons and humans. Soulical Warfare Soulical warfare refers specifically to us humans. The soulical battles involve overcoming the world, the flesh and the devil in our individual lives.
