Discern + Engage, Essentials of Spiritual Warfare

Part I. Know Your Enemy, focuses on the big picture

Study Scripture and you realize spiritual warfare goes beyond engaging demonic personalities-the battle has cosmic, cultural, Church, and personal fronts. The parameters of spiritual warfare are as wide as the conflict of kingdoms: Giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints of light. He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Spiritual warfare includes confronting world forces that oppose Christ and his gospel, contending for the faith against heretical teachers, as well as our battle against indwelling sin.
