Battles of the Christian

 Ephesians 6:12 (KJV) " For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places". 

This verse describes the spiritual battle that takes place in the life of believers. Paul tells us our battle is spiritual not physical.

5 Signs You're in Spiritual Warfare and How to Fight It

Postmodernism

"We live in a postmodern world, and the Christian consensus has been displaced. The assumption that our society should honor, at least officially, Judeo-Christian values, is no longer operative. Diversity rules, tolerance is supreme, and relativism is the only absolute. Sexual morality has given way to sexual preferences; the family has been replaced by a bewildering variety of families. Out-of-wedlock births have soared to tragically high rates, along with the number of absentee fathers. Religion is out; spirituality is in.

"But spirituality often amounts to little more than a pursuit of spiritual experiences, a journey into one’s inner self or personal truth, which makes the living God irrelevant. It is also no longer clear when a person uses the word God that he means anything resembling the God of Scripture." ~~ Gary Inrig, 'True North: Discovering God's Way in a Changing World'

According to the Bible, every single born again Christian is a saint. Sainthood happens through God's grace, mercy and salvation. It does not happen through the Pope, whose position is not mentioned once in the Bible.

Do not be deceived.

Spiritual warfare

Jesus is our ultimate example when it comes to warding off spiritual attacks. Observe how Jesus handled direct attacks from Satan when He was tempted by him in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-11). Each temptation was answered the same way—with the words “It is written” and a quote from the Scriptures. Jesus knew the Word of the living God is the most powerful weapon against the temptations of the devil. If Jesus Himself used the Word to counter the devil, do we dare to use anything less?

The ultimate example of how not to engage in spiritual warfare is the seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish priest, who went around driving out evil spirits by trying to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who were demon-possessed. One day the evil spirit answered them, “‘Jesus I know, and I know about Paul, but who are you?’ Then the man who had the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them all. He gave them such a beating that they ran out of the house naked and bleeding” (Acts 19:13-16). The seven sons of Sceva were using Jesus’ name, but because they did not have a relationship with Jesus, their words were void of any power or authority. They were not relying on Jesus as their Lord and Savior, and they were not employing the Word of God in their spiritual warfare. As a result, they received a humiliating beating. May we learn from their bad example and conduct spiritual warfare as the Bible instructs.
