MESSAGE – FRIDAY
SPIRITUAL WARFARE 4/8
WAR AGAINST SPIRITS

1. INTRODUCTION
We were born on a planet at war, dominated by God’s enemy.

There are 4 forces: Jesus and the Church vs. the Devil and the World;

Our fight is not against people – Ephesians 6:10-12;

To fight against the enemy, we must use the weapons of the spiritual world – Ephesians 6:13-18

The devil only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. To achieve this goal, he uses various evil spirits.

2. SPIRIT OF ENVY, WAR, AND MURMURING – James 3:16

1 Peter 2:1

These spirits destroy families, churches, businesses, and Family Groups.

It is necessary to intervene and bind these spirits.

3. MERCENARY SPIRIT
This is when a person, whether a preacher, musician, etc., wants to be part of the church, but in exchange for perks.

4. SPIRIT OF DIVINATION – Acts 16:16-26

They were doing God’s will.

When they freed/helped the young woman, her masters were not happy and ended up imprisoned because there is a spiritual war.

Paul and Silas:
-did not cry;

-were not offended;

They used spiritual weapons to fight in the spiritual world – praise and worship.

We have to do our part, which is to use the weapons God has given us, and God will do the supernatural!

5. OVERCOMING OBSTACLES
Every believer/servant of God needs to overcome:

-worldly spirit – 1 Corinthians 3:1-3;

-1 Timothy 3

-Attitudes towards superiors;

-Attitudes towards subordinates;
