Hi family! If you haven't watched part 1 of this episode, entitled 'spiritual warfare...', I'd really recommend you go back and listen! It lays the foundation for what we are talking about today. Spiritual warfare is something that we all go through, and is something that God equips and teaches us to battle. If you've ever wondered whether or not your mind is being attacked by the enemy (satan), this video could help you identify the tricks and tactics that he employs. The only way you can win a war is by knowing your opponent, and knowing how to fight. It's the same in the spiritual war that we fight all the time. We don't need to be afraid, as our Lord Jesus has triumphed over sin, death, and the enemy. But, we still need to deal with his enmity against us here. Watch this video to discover who your enemy is, and more importantly, who your Saviour is. This spiritual war is for the mind and soul of believer, and non-believer alike. This is why it is imperative that we know how to fight. We must allow our hands to be trained by God like a warrior's (Psalm 144:1), to know our authority that Jesus died for us to have (Luke 10:19), and WALK IN IT! You NEVER need to submit to another lie of satan's again. Declare war, today! Bible verses that I mentioned: 'For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.' (Ephesians 6:12). 'For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ.' (2 Corinthians 10:3-5). 'Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.' (1 Peter 5:8). 'Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.' (James 4:7). 'The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.' (John 10:10). Books I'd recommend on spiritual warfare: ⁠The Screwtape Letters⁠ by C.S. Lewis. ⁠Not against Flesh and Blood⁠ by Martyn Lloyd-Jones. ⁠The Spirit and the Church⁠ by John Owen. Winning the War in Your Mind: Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life by Craig Groeschel. If you feel like you are struggling with this, remember that you are not alone. Christians all over the world are facing the same battle, as Jesus Himself did. I'd encourage you to ask the Lord for a prayer/accountability partner, who you can be open with about your wins, sins, and struggles. God gave us each other to get through this war, don't isolate yourself. Prayer: Father I pray for the person reading this right now. I pray that you would protect their mind, break strongholds in their life, and equip and teach them that if in Christ, they are a victor over the enemy. I plead your blood Jesus over them, and this podcast in Jesus' name. Amen. As always my loves, you are LOVED, PRECIOUS, and HONOURED! Act like that today, and every day!
