Engaging Spiritual Warfare
While the enemy’s tactics are time-tested and successful throughout many lives, we don’t have to surrender. We don’t have to live defeated. We must engage in the battle.

Acknowledging Spiritual Warfare
Spiritual warfare is one of those topics we mention in church, but we rarely unpack it to our detriment. A battle is going on; just because you fail to acknowledge it does not mean you are immune to it.
The Ferocious & Futile Plan of Our Enemy
Exodus 1:8-22 – The Israelites intimidated the Egyptian Pharaoh, so he used all forces at his disposal to reduce their presence. No matter how much God’s enemies oppose His people, they will never fully succeed.
The Attempt to Remove Divine Authority Creates Moral Anarchy
When a culture tries to rid itself of the notion of God, it finds something more disturbing than authority. Attempting to remove divine authority from our lives actually creates moral anarchy among us.
The Unseen Threat
Our greatest dangers are not the ones we can see. There is a battle raging all around us, even if we live our lives seemingly unaware.
Spiritual Warfare and Kingdom Advancement
1 Thessalonians 2:17-20 – When we engage in ministry, we encounter opposition potentially originating from Satan and his forces. We must open our eyes to the conflict hindering us from knowing how to push forward.
Distinctly Guided
To follow Jesus, you must know what direction He is taking. We are truly guided by God when we study the truth of God’s Word.
Even the Antichrist Has a Term Limit
Daniel foresaw a clear progression of prideful rulers culminating in the reign of the Antichrist. For all the power amassed by God’s opponents throughout history, their end will be sudden and sure.
The Spiritual Warfare All Around Us
God sent messengers to Daniel to reveal how earthly conflicts are connected to spiritual warfare. If we don’t acknowledge that we are in a war, we will most definitely experience significant defeat.
