spiritual warfare is real and never ends

[Ezra]

We are not ten feet tall and ballet prof on our own, for some reason subjects like this draws very little interest. Could it be we are to busy fussing among each other that we forget spiritual warfare is real and never ends

in 1st peter 5:8-9 he is our adversary like a roaring lion
we resist in steadfast faith
scriptures Ephesians
1. Eph 6:10-the warriors power .strong in the LORD
2 Eph 6: 11 the warriors amour the whole armor of GOD. explain each part of the armor of God . we move forward in the fight no retreat no surrender !!
3. Eph6: 12- the warriors FOE
verse 12 key verse we wrestle not with flesh and blood
but principalities & powers
definition : and order of angels and powers often in conflict with God .
example our world today violence no respect of life.
deceiving to believe something that is not true.
the devils mission john 10:10 kill steal & destroy
2nd Corinthians 10:3-4 verse
verse 3 description of this war.
verse 4. our weapons' of warfare we use.

Christ mission is to give life and life more abundantly!

There is a demonic spiritual atmosphere. we can't see it but can see the results from a wrecked life. invisible warfare the accuser of the brethren. just as Israel is at war with Hamas and doing everything to root them out. we are at War with a invisible foe . who is out to win at any cost. he has no respect for anyone or anything.

Colossians 2: 14-15 tells us that Jesus disarmed principalities and powers at the cross. Therefore, our victory is rooted in what Jesus did, not in what we do. It isn’t that there is no doing on our part – but our doing is the appropriation and application of what Jesus did.

ALTHOUGH - fortunately, while satan possesses Adam's delegated dominion on Earth, that dominion actually belongs to GOD. And as it was in Job's case, satan's attack was monitored, controlled and regulated BY GOD (I cor 10:13) to that which would achieve God's purpose in getting Job to the point of understanding/repenting (Job 23:6). Also, the Job account reveals the lengths that God will go, in order to to achieve HIS PURPOSES.

in some cases but in others God does not glorify in evil .. warfare is one of the hardest things to understand. it comes in many shapes and forms . the adversary roars creates fear . fact is there is demonic spirits

BOY HOWDY!!! Are their ever!!! and unfortunately Born Again Christians, who willfully remain IGNORANT of the Bible, are as likely to be oppressed / influenced by them as any other human is. Demonic spirits are (like their master) religious EXPERTS, and Theological masters.

 

[Frank Russell]

People do spiritual warfare, but the way they do it is with malice and wrath like a human war. Since this sin creates a bridge - the warfare never ends.

This leads to fear and despair, at that point, the person wars with themselves.

you make a valid point i actually delivered a message on warfare this morning. i have one that is and has been deceived by man by getting $$$ they dont have . i dont know how but they have got inside there head. the devil is the author of all this. but back to your point 2nd Corinthians 10 : 3- For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not [a]carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, 6 and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.

in many cases we respond in the flesh. which makes your point

the person wars with themselves.

very true . we respond out of anger

your correct on that Ephesians 4 :14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, i often compare it to a checker game i can stand and watch a game and see all kinds of moves. but when i get there to play the moves vanish

In 2023, though, the "Mature MAN" church of Eph 4, is still not even on the radar - yet. I remember that back in 'the '70s, there was a belief that the Ephesians 4 Church would be the key to bringing on Jesus' return, when they, All of ONE MIND AND PURPOSE, began to cry: "Even so COME LORD JESUS!!!" Rev (22:20)

he will return when the time is right. we need to be more living that saying it. i told the church sometime back if we really believed the return of Christ was around the corner. we would all be living different call us the days of noah generation.. many are blinded by the God of this world

And having eschatological FALSE TEACHERS, like Edgar Whisnant, and Harold Camping, muddying the waters hasn't helped either.

Amen if studying eschatology does not have a direct effect on how one lives then its being studied for all the wrong reasons. Jesus in many of His parables taught to be ready, His return is Imminent.
