Part of my job is to be trained in my job. Here's a bit of some of the article on Spiritual Warfare I've been reading through:
"In folk religion the posture of the Christian toward fallen angels is defensive; in Scripture the church is on the offensive, and the blows it receives from Satan come from a retreating enemy."
I wonder in my life if I've been doing that well. Am I on the defensive in my Christian walk or on the offensive? Do I wait for the enemy to attack before I respond with a strong Christian shield, or do I live life on the offensive against him?... I hope to not only be ready for any attack he has prepared for me, but come at him in helping advance God's kingdom!
"Fallen angels are called 'powers of darkness' not because they are in any way creatures of night or linked to the common superstitious fear of the dark, but because they are permanent dwellers in a world of lies and ignorance. Living in a mental universe of lies, they persuade men to keep on embracing lies concerning God, themselves and the world, reinforcing the natural affinity of the flesh for darkness."
How often do we believe the lies of the "powers of darkness" and surrender all power our own?
