Spiritual Warfare:”When Christians Wouldn’t Know They Were in a War”
Pastor David Jeremiah pointed out that our present culture is in spiritual crossroad. There is an increasing intensity of spiritual warfare. And how so many Christians are unaware of who the real spiritual enemy is. On this teaching, he will talk about the true nature of the enemy of Christians. He started with these verses in 1 Timothy 4:1 “Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons;” and Ephesians 6:12 “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age,[a] against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”
Spiritual warfare, “from a Christian perspective, is the cosmic war of good versus evil: its battles are fought daily between God and Satan; between the Christian Church and the world system ruled by our spiritual enemy; and within every child of God, between the Holy Spirit and the lusts of the carnal flesh. The clear meanings of good and evil, as defined by God rather than man, are revealed within the verses of the Holy Bible and the life of Jesus Christ.” [1]
David P. Jeremiah is a conservative evangelical Christian author, televangelist, and currently the senior pastor of Shadow Mountain Community Church, an evangelical megachurch in El Cajon, California, a suburb of San Diego.
