Spiritual Warefare 101
Hey guys and gals, thanks so much for coming to class, I really enjoyed our discussion and I feel like we are going to learn a lot together over the next 6-7 weeks.
We went through roughly 85% of Spiritual 101 this past Wednesday, and we talked about 4 of the 5 Basic Truths about Spiritual Warfare as well as the foundational scriptures that explain what spiritual warfare is.
Ephesians 6:10-12
"Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, that you may be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."
Here are the 4 Basic Truths we discussed last week -
Basic Truth #1 – There is an Invisible World Ephesians 6:12
Basic Truth #2 – We are Involved in an Invisible War
Basic Truth #3 – Our Foe is Formidable
Basic Truth #4 - We Must Respect Our Foe but Not Fear Him
We also learned about how Satan's names reveal his tactics, here are just a few of his names:
i. Satan (adversary) – Opposes God’s Agenda
ii. Devil (slanderer) – 1 Peter 5 – Say false things to ruin people
iii. Lucifer (son of the morning)
iv. Beelzebub – Matthew 12:24 – Lord of the Flies…god of Filth
v. Belial – 2 Corinthians 6:15 – Name of a false god, divert worship
vi. Evil one – 1 John 5:19 – in the Greek meant Absolute corruption
vii. Tempter – 1 Thessalonians 3:5 – use good things to tempt us
viii. Prince of this world – John 12:31 – master of false systems
ix. Accuser of the brethren – will condemn you
x. Representations include
1. Serpent – Genesis 3
2. Dragon – Revelation 12:3
3. Angel of Light – 2 Corinthians 11:14
This week we will be discussing Basic Truth #5 which will conclude Spiritual Warfare 101. Also this week we will start Spiritual Warfare 201 by talking about How to Prepare Ourselves for Spiritual Battle and to prepare for a Satanic attack. Hope to see you in class!
