Spiritual Warfare Workshop Spiritual Warfare for every Christian I. Spiritual warfare - Spiritual warfare is not just a prayer prayed or a demon rebuked - it is a life lived. We commit ourselves to actively sit in our rightful place in the heavenly realms with Christ Jesus, walk daily in the power of the Holy Spirit and stand strong in the Lord’s mighty power, with His armor fully in place, resisting the enemy in the time of evil. We actively resist, overcome and defeat the enemy's lies (in the form of deception, temptations, accusations, bondage) that he sends our way. As the Spirit directs, we go on the offensive attack and posses the land that the devil has stolen in order for the captives (unbelievers) to be set free. A. God’s purpose for us - to bring Him glory. B. God’s priorities for us (our business) 1. Reconcile the lost to Himself - through fulfilling the Great Commission - Mark 16:15-19, Matthew 28:18-20, (evangelism) 2. Bringing His body to unity, maturity and wholeness - (Living a life of Christlikeness) Ephesians 4:1, Hebrews 12:1-2, Luke 6:43-45 (discipleship) C. Understanding Who God is, What Jesus did on the Cross and the Role of the Spirit in our lives GOD - We need a firm revelation of who God is, what Jesus did on the cross and the role of Holy Spirit in our lives in order to effectively engage in any level of spiritual warfare. Without a clear experiential knowledge of God’s love and character we will not be able to walk in faith and power. We are asked to walk into unknown territory and fight a battle that is not visible to the human eye. Practically exercising trust in God is the only way we can do this. God is our “Abba - Daddy” Father, He is our Forgiver, our Healer, our Deliverer, our Sustainer, our Sanctifier, our Victory, our Defender, our Provider, our Protector... Deuteronomy 20:4, Psalm 18, Isaiah 54:17, James 4:7, 1 John 3:8, Revelation 12:11. As we engage in spiritual warfare we need to continually give God control and create space for Him to be who He wants to be to us. We praise God our Father in all things! JESUS - Jesus defeated Satan, his power and principalities on the cross. Jesus in us is greater than any evil spirit that is oppressing us (1 John 4:4). Satan needs our permission in order to operate in our lives. We can allow him entrance either willfully or subconsciously. Jesus also needs our permission to set us free. We must first choose to be free and then humbly allow Him to lead us out of bondage and into freedom. Because of Jesus’ death, there was a divine exchange at the cross. This is absolute truth! ! Jesus was punished that we might be forgiven. ! Jesus was wounded that we might be healed. ! Jesus was made sin with our sinfulness so that we might be righteous with His righteousness. ! Jesus died our death so we might receive the blessing. ! Jesus endured our poverty that we might share His abundance. ! Jesus endured our rejection that we might share His acceptance. ! Jesus endured our shame that we might share His glory. ! Our old man (sinful nature) died in Jesus that the new man (life in the Holy Spirit) might live in us. Jesus’ blood redeemed us, forgave us, cleansed us, justified us and is sanctifying us. We praise Jesus because He did it all and now we simply need to appropriate all He of His finished work! 1 HOLY SPIRIT - Holy Spirit’s job is to lead us into all truth (John 14-16) and empower us to live godly lives that are free from the effects of sin (Philippians 2:13, Ephesians 1:19-23, Galatians 5:16-25). As we learn to yield to His desires minute by minute He will show us exactly what we need when we need it to wage effectively against the devil. If there are open doors in our lives which allow the enemy access, if there are lies that need to be exposed that we are embracing, if there is hidden sin that we need to be convicted of, Holy Spirit will let us know if we ask Him. He releases God’s strategies for warfare to us as we submit to Him. We praise Holy Spirit! II. Positioning ourselves for spiritual warfare A. Sitting: (Ephesians 2:4-10) Sitting is a position of rest, resting in what Christ has finished through the cross and who we are based on what Christ has done (Colossians 2:10). Christ completed the work of atonement, having defeated Satan and all powers and principalities and established Himself as Ruler and King. He has absolute authority and power over all! We need to be secure in our identity in Christ. Why is this so important in Spiritual Warfare? Because no person can consistently behave in a way that is inconsistent with how they perceive themselves. It is not what you do that determines who you are; it is who you are that determines what you do. Daily Application - Praise God from the verses listed on the bookmark, “Who you are in Christ.” Mediate on these truths. Believe what Christ says about you. Practice the truth. B. Walking: (Ephesians 4:6) Walking in the power of the Holy Spirit requires daily dependence on Him, with our eyes fixed on Jesus. The Holy Spirit is our teacher and our guide and will lead us into truth, clarity, light and deliverance. We walk according to how the Word instructs us, not walking in the flesh (Galatians 5:8), walking in the light (Ephesians 5:8), walking by faith not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7), walking free from sin (Galatians 5:15), walking in the fruits of the Holy Spirit when our flesh has been crucified (Galatians 5:22-24), walking in love (Ephesians 5:2), walking by following the Word (Psalm 119:105), walking intentionally with Gods’ wisdom - paying close attention with purpose because the days are short Ephesians 5:15-16), walking in a manner worthy of our calling - in humility, gentleness, patience, love, forgiveness, unity peace (Ephesians 4:1-32).” Daily Application - Praying daily for the empowerment of the Holy Spirit. Praise, submission, repentance, asking and yielding to the Holy Spirit is our pattern of living if we desire to be effective in spiritual warfare. C. Standing: (Ephesians 6:10-18) We are strong in God’s mighty power (not our own). We stand fully protected with the armor of God in place. We stand so that we can do the work of the Lord at all times. However, we can only stand if we are seated and relaxed in what Christ has accomplished on the cross, are confident in our salvation and as a result are walking in the power of the Spirit with a clear conscience. “For we (Believers) are not fighting (Wrestling - a sport that demands continual concentration 24/7) against flesh- and-blood enemies (humans), but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.” Ephesians 6:12 This wrestling doesn’t mean that we are to struggle to maintain what God has done, we stand because what Christ has already done but we are called to cultivate a continual awareness of what God is calling us to and what the devil might be wanting to distract or deceive us with. We can never take a vacation from Christianity! Every thought 2 we think on, every feeling we nurture, ever choice we make, every thing we do matters in the physical realm and the spiritual realm. Nothing is neutral. Daily Application - Put on defensive weapons and then get to work with our offensive weapons as the Spirit directs. The following prayer should become very natural for us as we apply it daily. We stand so we can PRAY! III. Defensive and Offensive warfare A. Defensive warfare is guarding ourselves against the tactics or schemes of the devil. We defend ourselves from the enemy deception, temptations, accusations and bondages. (Ephesians 4:27, 1 Timothy 5:14 James 4:6) We defend ourselves by putting on continually “the armor of God”. (Ephesians 6) B. Offensive warfare is when we launch an offensive attack against the enemy. We break down strongholds which have formed in our minds through deception and accusations, we renounce curses that have been spoken, we break bondages that generational sin and unholy covenants inflict us with and we take back things that the enemy has killed, stolen or destroyed. This world is the territory of Satan (Luke 4:6, 2 Corinthians 4:4). Jesus launched a huge offensive attack on Satan, by setting foot on his territory when He came to earth. We are called to do the same. Any part of our lives that the enemy has stolen or destroyed through pre or post conversion sin needs to be taken back in order for the Lord to begin to redeem it. We have been set free from evil and set apart unto God. Preparing ourselves for Spiritual Warfare - Putting on the Armor of God – Eph. 6:10-19 When dressing for spiritual warfare (or for dressing everyday for life), there are six basic items that God provides for us. With these, we can develop a victorious attitude and face whatever challenges or temptations the devil may throw at us. We put them on so that we can stand firm for the purpose of praying in the power of the Holy Spirit at all times and on every occasion.

  • Spiritual Warfare in Circulation
    religions Article Spiritual Warfare in Circulation Kimberly Marshall 1 and Andreana Prichard 2,* 1 Department of Anthropology, University of Oklahoma, 455 W. Lindsey St., Norman, OK 73069, USA; [email protected] 2 Honors College, University of Oklahoma, 1300 Asp Ave., Norman, OK 73019, USA * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 29 May 2020; Accepted: 18 June 2020; Published: 2 July 2020 Abstract: Without a doubt, an overenthusiastic focus on rupture, as a way of coping with neoliberal trauma, has shaped the conversation about recent religious change in Africa. Yet, rupture remains at the heart of what African charismatics understand themselves to be doing. In this paper, we attempt to nuance this conversation about rupture in religious change in Africa by discussing that various ontologies of spiritual warfare are encountered, made legible, reframed, and redeployed, through direct interactions between Africans and Americans in the context of missionization. We illustrate the patterns of these reciprocal flows through two case studies drawn from our larger research projects. One study illustrates the case of Matthew Durham, a young American missionary who, when accused of sexually assaulting children at an orphanage in Kenya, adopted the spiritual counsel of a Kenyan missionary that the reason he had no memory of the attacks was because of his possession by a demon. Another study discusses the example of a Navajo pastor who applied charismatic techniques of spiritual warfare when under metaphysical threat during a mission trip to Benin, but simultaneously focused on building ontologically protective social networks with Africans. Americans and Africans involved in the flows of global Pentecostalism are equally sympathetic to charismatic renewal.

    SPIRITUAL WARFARE I Mid Week Instruction Reid Temple AME Church Pastor Washington LESSON DISCUSSION • What is Spiritual Warfare? • The Battle of the Mind LESSON DISCUSSION • Successful Deliverance • Gift of Discernment WHAT IS SPIRITUAL WARFARE? WHAT IS SPIRITUAL WARFARE? • Christian believers use this expression to refer to the ongoing battle between the forces of good (God, Christ, the angels) and the forces of evil (Satan, the demons). WHAT IS SPIRITUAL WARFARE? • On an individual level, each person, no matter how saintly, is a battlefield where good and evil meet, clash, and clash again. • What takes place in the individual takes place in the world at large—Christ versus Satan SPIRITUAL WARFARE - INWARD BATTLE • Romans 7:23. It happens so regularly that it is predictable. The moment I decide to do good, sin is there to trip me up. I truly delight in God's command, but it's pretty obvious that not all of me joins in that delight. Parts of me covertly rebel, and just when I least expect it, they take charge. SPIRITUAL WARFARE - INWARD BATTLE • Romans 7:24: I've tried everything and nothing helps. I'm at the end off my rope. I there no one who can do anything for me? Isn't that the real question? SPIRITUAL VICTORY • Victory begins with the name of Jesus on your lips but it will not be consummated until the nature of Jesus is in our hearts. • Satan will be allowed to come against the area of your weakness until you realize God's only answer is to be Christlike.

  • ACT III Evening in the Sierra Nevada
    ACT III Evening in the Sierra Nevada. Rolling slopes of brown, with olive trees instead of apple trees in the cultivated patches, and occasional prickly pears instead of gorse and bracken in the wilds. Higher up, tall stone peaks and precipices, all handsome and distinguished. No wild nature here: rather a most aristocratic mountain landscape made by a fastidious artist-creator. No vulgar profusion of vegetation: even a touch of aridity in the frequent patches of stones: Spanish magnificence and Spanish economy everywhere. Not very far north of a spot at which the high road over one of the passes crosses a tunnel on the railway from Malaga to Granada, is one of the mountain amphitheatres of the Sierra. Looking at it from the wide end of the horse-shoe, one sees, a little to the right, in the face of the cliff, a romantic cave which is really an abandoned quarry, and towards the left a little hill, commanding a view of the road, which skirts the amphitheatre on the left, maintaining its higher level on embankments and on an occasional stone arch. On the hill, watching the road, is a man who is either a Spaniard or a Scotchman. Probably a Spaniard, since he wears the dress of a Spanish goatherd and seems at home in the Sierra Nevada, but very like a Scotchman for all that. In the hollow, on the slope leading to the quarry-cave, are about a dozen men who, as they recline at their cave round a heap of smouldering white ashes of dead leaf and brushwood, have an air of being conscious of themselves as picturesque scoundrels honoring the Sierra by using it as an effective pictorial background.
