Dark Spiritual Forces - At the root of mankinds suffering and heartache

Many deny the existence of a spiritual battle. They say it is nothing more than fairy tales of the imagination. However, if we accept the evidence found in the Bible, we clearly see this warfare is very real, that it always has been, and it will be until the end of the age. 
If the Bible portrays a spiritual warfare taking place throughout the spectrum of

mankind, starting in the beginning of God’s creation, being depicted all through

the Old and New Testaments, and culminating in a final battle with Satan’s defeat in Revelation, why would we think the battle has somehow stopped in our generation? Any casual observer would see both the evil and the compassion in the world today and wonder if it were not possibly due to an unseen spiritual battle raging for the soul of man. Although many wish to pin the darkness in the world today on a cold and uncaring God, a more reasonable explanation is an evil army on a mission to kill and destroy mankind, as the Bible clearly states. God wishes only love and peace throughout His creation. It has never been God’s plan for us to suffer so much here on earth. After the fall of Adam, He implemented a plan of redemption to take the world back from the dominion of Satan. This plan started with the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus and is brought to its successful culmination through the role of the church. But if the church does not see the spiritual battle, and does not engage the forces of darkness, God’s plan of redemption cannot be fulfilled. 

Yes, the battle is for real, and it is all around us. The question for all of us is, will we have ears to hear and eyes to see this spiritual battle, and a heart to fight for the redemption of mankind?

Spiritual Warfare, the battle is all around us

We are in a battle, although most are unaware of its existence. It is a battle for our very lives, and much more importantly, it is a battle for control over our heart and our soul. You might say, “I don’t see a battle, where is this great battle you speak of?” Paul tells us in his letter to the Ephesians where: 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. Ephesians 6:12 This battle that we are in is not in the news, nor is it being fought with our armed forces. This battle is against the powers of darkness; the spiritual forces of evil that are doing everything in their power to destroy God’s creation and prevent us from fulfilling our destiny as sons of God. Whether we want to acknowledge it or not, the battle is taking place all around each and every one of us, no matter where you live or what you...

Satan's Primary Strategy

We are instructed in the Bible to be aware of Satan's schemes, his strategies. In order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes. 2 Cor. 2:11 Yet how many of us bother to understand the enemy we face.  How effective would an army be if it went in to battle without making an effort to understand the enemy? Satan's primary strategy is weakening, or cracking  the foundation of  our lives . Although we sometimes give credit for Satan being creative, in reality, he is quite predictable. He will always come after our foundations if he feels we are a threat to him. If you find yourself growing in the Christian life then you will inevitably experience an attack from Satan or his demons against the foundations of your life, such as your family and loved ones, your church family relationships, and perhaps the most important, your relationship with God.  You can count on it! Satan has been attacking people's foundations for a ...
