Brothers and sisters in Christ, I don't know at which level you are at in your knowledge of spiritual warfare but I urge you to prepare yourself for the fight of our lives.

I don't claim to know how much time we have, but it's clear looking at the world today that the "dark awakening" as Russ Dizdar calls it is near. When this awakening happens it's going to bring unimaginable pain and suffering to the world and it's going to be up to us to help provide answers and solutions to people's spiritual questions and needs.

I urge you to know full well your authority as a Christian over dark spirits by calling on the name of Jesus Christ and rebuking evil. A great source for information on this is Russ Dizdar's site [link to www.shatterthedarkness.net] If you know of others I'd love to see them.

People in general simply have a feeling that something big is coming, we as Christians know what this is. No matter if you believe in the rapture or not we need to be ready for the spiritual battle of our lives and I can assure you the "other" side is doing it's part to get ready.

Don't let the liars and scoffers divert you from the truth, search the scripture for answers or as God says "Let no man deceive you by any means".

God does choose to raise up his servants over others from time to time. However, most of those servants practice humility. Point being, even if you are raised above the rest of us spiritually, you are still human.

I couldn't agree more. But what has the Lord taught you about how to conduct spiritual warfare? I would love to hear what others have learned.

I'll answer this later, but first am going to go to lunch.

I hope it will be a great discussion, I would like to know how much experience you have actually had in dealing with demons, whether you believe that there is a difference between demons and principalities and powers, and to what extent and how we can prepare ourselves to conduct spiritual warfare.

I for one will not submit or bow to you, you are a proud and selfexalting person. You must stop debasing the bretheren YOU ARE OF THE DOCTRINE OF THE NICOLATATINS and Jesus tells us not to tolerate you ....so please leave our discussion, you are not welcome! If you write me I will not answer, if you swear at me I will not answer, if you speak evil of me I will pray for you. Dip your robe in the Blood of the Lamb, the time for arrogance is rapidly coming to an end my friend.

Sometimes I feel very alone in this world...apparently only nut cases practice faith these days!!! Greatful to be a nut case then. For some unknown reason I've been hermitizing myself lately. Maybe it's a protection mechanism against evil...or a need to get my stuff together in preparation. I've also begun praying for something I've never felt the need to pray for lately...and that's for justice. Not this crazy world's kind of justice that is judgmental and cruel...but God's devine justice.

I've felt the very same way lately, very at peace with letting people believe what they want to believe instead of worried about people. Maybe we feel 'alone' because God has us seperated from this world. From one nut case to another, stand strong.

I don't think a lot of people can handle spiritual warfare, honestly. When I first got saved, God opened my eyes to the realm & allowed me to see demons in people. Demonic attacks at night, SEVERE, for 3 years. I had a lady tell me 'When you learn who you are in Christ, they will leave you alone'. That was about 7 years ago, I know who I am in Christ - they have left me alone...and they better watch out.

I for one will not submit or bow to you, you are a proud and selfexalting person. You must stop debasing the bretheren YOU ARE OF THE DOCTRINE OF THE NICOLATATINS and Jesus tells us not to tolerate you ....so please leave our discussion, you are not welcome!

You know, this really saddens me. First, you're touching the Lord's anointed and you don't even know it, yet you profess to be of Him. The salt truly has lost its savor. I met Wingedlion almost two years ago on this site, and I could discern in my Spirit instantly that He was a man after God's own heart and someone extremely, EXTREMELY special. God is no respecter of persons, that is correct, but God also says that He looks upon the Earth to find someone whom He can show HImself strong on behalf of.

Now, Wingedlion is also extremely humble, and you don't know him personally like I do, but then again, that is where spiritual discernment comes into play and having a check in your Spirit before you go mouthing off to someone who you mistakenly identify as being arrogant, when in fact it is rather confidence and spiritual authority and not arrogance in Wingedlion. Also, as he has said many, many times on GLP, his job here is to entice those of Satan to battle so they can be destroyed.

He has suffered much persecution and given up more than you can ever imagine to be a servant of the Most High God, and for this sacrifice and persecution, what does he get? More persecution from those who claim to be of Christ! It's unbelievable! It makes me sick.

Wingedlion, I fear that you will be like the Apostle who thrice denied Jesus and slink off into the crowd when the time to choose to live or die comes, and you will think you are choosing living but are really chosing death.

Threshing, I do not know you or Wingedlion, but I concur with you that many mistake confidence in the Lord and the sword of truth with arrogance. That would be wrong. The speaking with authority comes from the Holy Spirit. Most christians cannot discern it.

I hope it will be a great discussion, I would like to know how much experience you have actually had in dealing with demons, whether you believe that there is a difference between demons and principalities and powers, and to what extent and how we can prepare ourselves to conduct spiritual warfare.

Question: "What does the Bible say about spiritual warfare?"

Answer: There are two primary errors when it comes to spiritual warfare—over-emphasis and under-emphasis. Some blame every sin, every conflict, and every problem on demons that need to be cast out. Others completely ignore the spiritual realm and the fact that the Bible tells us our battle is against spiritual powers. The key to successful spiritual warfare is finding the biblical balance. Jesus sometimes cast demons out of people and sometimes healed people with no mention of the demonic. The apostle Paul instructs Christians to wage war against the sin in themselves (Romans 6) and to wage war against the evil one (Ephesians 6:10-18).

Ephesians 6:10-12 declares, “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” This text teaches some crucial truths: we can only be strong in the Lord’s power, it is God’s armor that protects us, and our battle is against spiritual forces of evil in the world.

A powerful example of someone strong in the Lord’s power is Michael, the archangel, in Jude 9. Michael, likely the most powerful of all of God’s angels, did not rebuke Satan in his own power, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!” Revelation 12:7-8 records that in the end times Michael will defeat Satan. Still, when it came to his conflict with Satan, Michael rebuked Satan in God’s name and authority, not his own. It is only through our relationship with Jesus Christ that Christians have any authority over Satan and his demons. It is only in His Name that our rebuke has any power.

Ephesians 6:13-18 gives a description of the spiritual armor God gives us. We are to stand firm with the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, the sword of the Spirit, and by praying in the Spirit. What do these pieces of spiritual armor represent in spiritual warfare? We are to speak the truth against Satan’s lies. We are to rest in the fact that we are declared righteous because of Christ’s sacrifice for us. We are to proclaim the gospel no matter how much resistance we receive. We are not to waver in our faith, no matter how strongly we are attacked. Our ultimate defense is the assurance we have of our salvation, an assurance that no spiritual force can take away. Our offensive weapon is the Word of God, not our own opinions and feelings. We are to follow Jesus’ example in recognizing that some spiritual victories are only possible through prayer.

Jesus is our ultimate example for spiritual warfare. Observe how Jesus handled direct attacks from Satan when He was tempted by him in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-11). Each temptation was answered the same way—with the words “It is written.” Jesus knew the Word of the living God is the most powerful weapon against the temptations of the devil. If Jesus Himself used the Word to counter the devil, do we dare to use anything less?

The ultimate example of how not to engage in spiritual warfare is the seven sons of Sceva. “Some Jews who went around driving out evil spirits tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who were demon-possessed. They would say, ‘In the name of Jesus, whom Paul preaches, I command you to come out.’ Seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this. One day the evil spirit answered them, ‘Jesus I know, and I know about Paul, but who are you?’ Then the man who had the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them all. He gave them such a beating that they ran out of the house naked and bleeding” (Acts 19:13-16). The seven sons of Sceva were using Jesus’ name. That is not enough. The seven sons of Sceva did not have a relationship with Jesus; therefore, their words were void of any power or authority. The seven sons of Sceva were relying on a methodology. They were not relying on Jesus as their Lord and Savior, and they were not employing the Word of God in their spiritual warfare. As a result, they received a humiliating beating. May we learn from their bad example and conduct spiritual warfare as the Bible instructs.

In summary, what are the keys to success in spiritual warfare? First, we rely on God’s power, not our own. Second, we rebuke in Jesus’ Name, not our own. Third, we protect ourselves with the full armor of God. Fourth, we wage warfare with the sword of the Spirit—the Word of God. Finally, we remember that while we wage spiritual warfare against Satan and his demons, not every sin or problem is a demon that needs to be rebuked.

I pray for everyone who's searching for truth, I pray you find it, recognize it and accept it.

If any of you try to usurp the authority of Jesus Christ and set yourselves above another believer you are deceived. You have this man speak boastful things exalting himself and you jump in his boat and try to make the rest of us feel guilty? That is not the Holy Spirit, you are either in the same deluded cult or you are all deceived by this boastful man. This thread has very much been given to an unclean spirit and I say good bye.
