Spiritual Warfare: Unseating Principalities | Sean Gleason | MC Waco

In this compelling message, Pastor Sean Gleason explores what it truly means to engage in spiritual warfare, drawing from Matthew 28 and Ephesians 6. He unpacks the truth that principalities are high-ranking demonic spirits that reign over regions, cities, and nations with the primary goal of blinding the minds of unbelievers from seeing the light of the gospel. Pastor Sean challenges believers to be aware of the spiritual realm without becoming obsessed with it, keeping their focus fixed on Jesus who holds the highest authority. Pastor Sean walks through the history of Waco, revealing how the city has partnered with principalities of dishonor, covetousness, the orphan spirit, and false religion, and calls the church to unseat each one by lifting up the highest authority. He warns that every act of disobedience surrenders spiritual authority to the enemy, while every act of obedience partners with Jesus and reclaims ground. This message challenges believers to understand that you unseat principalities not by binding and rebuking in your own name, but by lifting up Jesus, repenting of any partnership with the enemy, speaking His name, and boldly preaching the gospel everywhere you go, because the great commission was never meant only for the pulpit.
