“Worship is how we allow God to fight our battles for us… Worship is a declaration of our weakness and God’s strength.” – Tommy Walker. When we worship, we release God to fight our battles and bring massive victory, to defeat strongholds and tear down walls.

“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.” – 2 Corinthians 10:3-4…. Worship is not just a time to enjoy some music or to be entertained. Worship is an act of war.
When Joshua was pursuing a ruthless enemy in battle, he prayed a ridiculous, brazen prayer – “God, freeze the sun and moon where they are so we can keep this battle going!” And the crazy thing is, God responded. The sun and moon stood still. What gave Joshua the boldness to pray such a ridiculous prayer? 1) God had already promised him complete victory, and in Joshua’s mind, this is what it would take to see God’s promise fulfilled. 2) Joshua spent a lot of time in the presence of God, so He know God’s heart.
BRIAN SHULER | SPIRITUAL WARFARE | SATAN | VICTORY | RESTITUTION | RESTORATION | FREEDOM
The Bible promises freedom and victory, yet so many people struggle through life, seemingly at the mercy of forces beyond their understanding. One of the keys to win in this spiritual war is making restitution for what you’ve done – fixing what you broke, returning what you stole, healing what you hurt… Simply put, making things right.
Someone once said “Unforgiveness is like drinking poison yourself and waiting for the other person to die.” The Bible is clear that unforgiveness brings torment, gives the Enemy a foothold in your life, defiles you and everyone around you, and blocks God’s forgiveness in your life. But when you forgive, you get set free!
PRINCIPLES OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE 14 - REPENT AND BELIEVE
JAKE STIMPSON | SPIRITUAL WARFARE | SATAN | VICTORY | REPENTANCE | SIN | HOLINESS | FAITH
How do you win in spiritual warfare? The path to victory is not as complicated or esoteric as you may think. It begins with simple repentance of sin and turning to Jesus in faith. Sin is not just about breaking some arbitrary rule – it has a disastrous effect on all areas of our lives – so until you turn from it, you will not find the freedom you long for.
BRIAN SHULER | SPIRITUAL WARFARE | LEVELS OF WARFARE | DELIVERANCE | CAN CHRISTIANS HAVE DEMONS?
The idea of spiritual warfare isn’t theoretical. It’s a very real matter that plays out in daily life. If you don’t fight but instead allow the Enemy to continue to work, if you hold onto wrong ideas and don’t renew your mind in the Scriptures, if you allow sin and deception in, the Enemy will take you out. This isn’t some theoretical discussion – this is reality.

What does it mean that we’re in a spiritual war? From a military perspective, we often talk about four levels of warfare, ranging from the tactics of the battlefield on up to international political strategy. When it comes to the Christian life, most of our war takes place on the tactical level, the day-to-day fight to resist the Enemy and extend the kingdom of God. This struggle is not imaginary or theoretical but very real.
You can be free! To Western ears, the idea of demons influencing us, even residing within us, sounds equal parts lunacy, heresy, and horror film. Yet this is the clear picture we see in the Bible, that evil spirits can influence our minds, our hearts, and even our bodies. If you’re not experiencing the abundant life that Jesus promised, it could be a demon has made your body its home. It’s time to unmask the work of the Enemy and just get set free!
“We live in a perpetual battlefield. The wars among the nations on earth are mere pop-gun affairs compared to the fierceness of battle in the spiritual unseen world.” – Billy Graham. Though it sounds odd to our Western ears, the New Testament shows that this spiritual war is very real. Jesus and the early church lived with the knowledge that demons were actively working to oppose the Kingdom of God, and because of that knowledge, they overcame. What are demons? What do they do? How can we too overcome?
