The term spiritual warfare is widely used in the church. This short video I want to
give you my perspective that as a Christian counselor and deliverance minister of how
deliverance rates and is part of spiritual warfare.
The definition of spiritual warfare is found in Ephesians 6:12. Where Paul says our struggle
is not against flesh and blood. We battle powers, principalities and spiritual forces
of evil he says and in the heavenly realms and in this dark world. We understand that
there is a spiritual battle still ongoing. Jesus defeated the devil at the cross and
he’s a defeated foe but the warfare is still going on so the heavenly realm that Paul talks
about and we understand that is the second heaven. That’s what principalities are.
That he refers to, we see that evidenced in the book of Daniel where he is told that the
answer to his prayer was delayed as the prince of the Persian kingdom was at work there.
So we see demonic work is happening over cities over territories over countries, maybe even
churches and that sort of thing. We live here in the earthly realm. The first
heaven. That’s what Paul says the spiritual forces of evil in this dark world. Even Satan
is called the prince of this world. There are demonic spirits here assigned to torment
us. And we see many sicknesses and diseases, there are spirits behind those and part of
the warfare in the earthly realm is coming for physical healing and part of it is also
deliverance ministry. That’s a viable present day ministry in the body of Christ and the
driving out of demons. So that is an aspect of spiritual warfare. That’s how we see
it; it’s in the realm and the context. It’s one aspect of spiritual warfare that needs
to happen and not actual driving out of demons. You know from the word that Christ gave his
church power to drive out demons. And then there is another level of spiritual
warfare that happens in terms of discerning spirits and resisting them. It says in James
that we are to submit to God, resist these devils and they will leave from us. We need
to discern and it’s one of the spiritual gifts of discerning the spirits so we see
deliverance ministry as one aspect of spiritual warfare. Spiritual warfare happens on many
fronts and the second heaven type of warfare where intercessors are involved but in the
world we live in we need to drive our demons, we need to resist the demons and we need to
take a hold of our healing. The Christ has provided for us. If you want to learn more
