Spiritual Warfare

We battle the Devil. The Devil, also called Satan, was an elite angel who rebelled against God, seeking to steal His glory and usurp His authority. He became the commander-in-chief of a war against God so God cast him out of heaven with a minority of angels now known as demons. Satan and his demons operate by deceiving us, seducing us, blinding us, accusing us, and seeking to influence us in such a way as to defeat us and thereby rob God of His glory (Ephesians 6:12).

To be victorious we need four ingredients.

1. Know the truth by knowing the Bible
2. Realize the victory is already won (Colossians 1:13; Ephesians 2:6)
3. Rely on provided resources: the Son of God, the Word of God, the Spirit of God, and the people of God
4. Submit to God and resist the Devil (James 4:7)
