Spiritual Warfare ?

[ThereRoseaLamb]

I was reading this the other day and it got me to thinking. Spiritual warfare has been an over used term in the past several years. But obviously there is such a thing. Give your POV on this passage in Daniel and spiritual warfare. Let's discuss.




Daniel 10:12-13 states:

• Verse 12: "Do not be afraid, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come because of your words."
• Verse 13: "But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; and behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left alone there with the kings of Persia."

Hey only because you used that verse. I was praying for a elderly man in a home that loved to hear the word of God but could only moan. So I would read or have the word played for Him. One day just talking to the lord and reading the word I said "lord you gave me this burden for this man so I have a right to know why he is not being healed". The lord said "remember when Daniel prayed". I said ok if that is you where is that written. He said "Daniel 10: 9-12". Now oh praise you Father why I love this is at the time I had never read the OT nor had any clue where that was. He said Satan had built up a huge hedge and a simple prayer will do nothing.

We can see today those battels in heaven have not changed. There are areas in this earth that the enemy still has a very strong hold on or in a city.. or school you name it. I wonder if some believers don't just see what happens day in day out and think .. its just life. I remember this man and his team would walk all the streets in cities and just finished walking praying in every street in Jerusalem. He was thinking about the "gold" falling? Yeah didn't give a thought but some elderly Jewish man with his grand daughter came sat with his back to him who was a Rabbi. I dont' remember who the conversation started but he said once that elderly Rabbi heard gold falling.. shot up said "Gold is falling on the gentiles?" Said he had to go.. grabbed his grand daughter said "the messiah is coming"

Wow.. well I am awful with names and the lord just gave me his full name. Thank you Father. Now me I don't haha.. I don't want to talk about gold falling. Leave that on a shelve. But the Spiritual warfare.. I think is stronger then ever. The enemy time is very short. The lord will give us things to pray about and sometimes you have to stay until you know its done. God about to judge said He looked for one from among them to build a wall to stand in the gap but found none. Not exactly what your talking about..

So we have Ephesians 6:10-18 armor and 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. ..

Yes, the didactic passages Ephesians 6:10-18 and 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 seem to be more germinal for discussing this topic than the historical passage in Daniel 10:12-13.

Your in a Spiritual war as soon as you wake up in the Morning and it lasts till you fall asleep at night---God and Satan both want to win your soul for the day ----

Your every waking hour has to do with Decision making -----your mind is the battlefield ---what thoughts are you going to entertain today ---Good positive thoughts from God or Bad negative thoughts from Satan ------who controls your Emotions today ----Satan or God ----

Your Physical body is the vehicle that puts whatever daily decision is made into action ------your body moves to your thoughts Folks ----

AI
Yes, in a broader sense, spiritual warfare is intertwined with soul winning. Spiritual warfare refers to the unseen conflict between the forces of good and evil----

AI

Spiritual warfare in daily decision-making involves recognizing that our choices can be influenced by forces beyond our immediate awareness, and making decisions with a conscious awareness of these spiritual realities. This often means aligning choices with biblical principles, seeking God's guidance, and resisting deceitful thoughts or influences.

Recognizing the Enemy's Tactics:
Deceitful Thoughts:
The enemy can whisper doubts, fears, and negative self-talk, leading to choices that contradict God's will or hinder spiritual growth.

False Promises:
Satan might offer short-term gains or worldly pleasures that ultimately lead to regret or spiritual decline.

Distractions:
The enemy can distract from important decisions by focusing on trivial matters, causing delay or missed opportunities.

Making Wise Choices:

Prioritizing Spiritual Values:
When faced with a difficult choice, remember that God's will is always the best choice, even if it requires sacrifice.

Resisting Fear and Doubt:
Recognize that fear and doubt can be spiritual attacks, and actively choose to trust in God's promises and strength.

The Importance of Perseverance:

Staying Strong in Faith:
Spiritual warfare is a long-term battle, and it's essential to stay committed to prayer, scripture, and a life of obedience.

Rejoicing in the Midst of Trials:
Even when facing challenges, remember that God is always with you and that He can use these trials to make you stronger.

Spiritual Warfare (Religious Context):
In a religious context, "knowing your enemy" can refer to understanding the tactics and motives of a spiritual adversary, which is believed to be a force of evil that seeks to harm or deceive individuals.

In essence, "knowing your enemy" is about gaining a strategic advantage by understanding their mindset, motivations, strengths, and weaknesses. This knowledge allows you to make informed decisions, anticipate their actions, and develop effective strategies to achieve your goals, whether in a competitive, military, business, or personal setting.

You win or Lose the Spiritual war in your Mind --Folks

I'm going to throw out some scenarios that possibly reveal both sides of the coin.

Healing:
Let's say you pray for someone in need of some form of health issue. Theologically speaking, if you are able to pray for healing then the Enemy\Satan is able to do what he can to stop from being healed.
That logically screams Spiritual Warfare.

Legal Miracles:
Let's say someone is facing a verdict that can lead to extreme opposing possibilities.
The same Theological thought process must apply. If you pray for the outcome you desire to see happen then clearly the Enemy\Satan can try to make the worst case scenario happen instead.
That logically screams Spiritual Warfare.

This is just a couple of many many examples I could have used to show both sides of the coin when the situation at hand poses the opportunity to pray for something that simultaneously is being fought by the Enemy\Satan.

David said the "Darts\Arrows" of the Enemy are being shot at him daily. He obviously was speaking about spiritual enemies. Paul said we battle against invisible principalities and spirits in high places. Paul even instructed that we should put on the full armor of God daily. That is telling us that Spiritual Warfare is taking place on a daily day by day reoccurring process.

I realize many times things can be our own doing but not everything bad happening is of our own fault. Several times it really can be traced to Spiritual Warfare.

Thanks for all your responses. A name came to my memory today, Frank Peretti. Back in the day I read a couple of his books. I remember there was some sort of controversy over the books. It was so long ago I can't really remember the books other than they had something to do with spiritual warfare. The books portrayed the struggle between our world and heaven. Does anyone recall these books? Did anyone read them? Also have any of you seen Reels on Facebook on the AI Bible? I find it very interesting how it portrays Bible scenes and brings them to life.

This Present Darkness and Piercing the Darkness. Read them and enjoyed them.
CS Lewi wrote The Screwtape Letters. Similar topic but from the demons’ POV.

 

[Blain]

I have had to deal with actual demons and one thing I learned is that they don't like the name Jesus, they cannot stand it actually but also I learned we have dominion and authority over them if you stand in that authority they have no power over you at all they are pathetic and weak creatures they just give the illussion that they have power.

I remember watching the exorcist and in that movie they cited scripture they prayed but this demon they made it out to seem so strong this luckily is not reality because in reality they have no power over us

• Verse 13: "But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; and behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left alone there with the kings of Persia."

The passage is literal. The angel who spoke to Daniel was delayed by a powerful spiritual entity whose allotted territory was Persia.

For a thorough treatment of the general topic, read Michael Heiser's The Unseen Realm.

Wow!
I recently read The Screwtape Letters. Probably the most twisted thing I ever have read before. A demon uncle and his nephew trying to teach how to ruin people's lives including learning about his nephew losing some to the enemy (God).

You truly need to be in the right frame of mind to read, understand, while not being effected but becoming enlightened about how it's possible demons could be working.

If I recall correctly, Lewis said he needed a break after writing the book because it was difficult to write essentially a playbook of how the enemy opposes believers.

Not in my mind, God won in my new heart given me to lead me in trust, no matter what, even though I am in an unredeemed body that is not perfect and can't be, proven to me in the First Testament, It was always trust to Daddy to be given by God Father and is the same today through Son revealed for us, at least me, as won for us presently and forever to stand in and be thankful and willing to learn to not let my mind thoughts lead me anymore as did in the first birth of flesh and blood
It is allowing all thought to be stopped, that goes on in us all, to be given the new life from God the to the same obedience of risen Son leading, in love and mercy to all as are given by God through risen Son to automatically do too, for me, to me at least rest in and not fret/stress anymore as have and could again as soon as I get impulsed again, evil using the planting of mind thought to get to anyone to hear and then end up doing without wanting to as in Romans 7 teaches us all, to me thanks

 

[studentoftheword]

Not in my mind,

Then your deceiving yourself ------God tells believers to cast down strongholds of the mind ---

So Satan still is the god of this world and has access to the minds of all believers still ----God gives us the shield of Faith that we are to put up to extinguish the fiery darts of Satan ---



AI


The Shield of Faith, as described in Ephesians 6:16, is a symbolic representation of spiritual protection derived from faith. It is presented as a vital tool in the Christian's armor, designed to deflect the "fiery darts of the evil one," representing temptations and attacks on one's faith. The shield acts as a protective measure, enabling believers to withstand the negative influences of the world and Satan.


So if your saying that you never get attacked in your mind -----from Satan you deceive yourself ----

Have you ever told a lie -----and we all have so don't deny that one ---have you ever committed a sin in your saved state -----if you deny that your deceiving yourself ----well Satan is your influence here --have you ever had doubt ---worry --anger ---fear --anxiety ---stress ---told someone off ----lost your temper ----Satan is your influence ----

Better read all this very carefully --I say ---your not that smart to out wit Satan ----sorry to burst your bubble ---you maybe need the whole Armor to put on ----not just the Shield of Faith ----

AI

Metaphorical Representation:
The shield is a figurative representation of faith, not a literal object. It signifies the believer's reliance on God and his promises to protect them from spiritual harm.

Defensive Role:
The shield's primary purpose is to ward off spiritual attacks, such as temptations, doubt, and fear. It symbolizes the believer's ability to withstand these influences.

Active Faith:
Faith is not passive; it involves actively trusting in God and acting on his truth, effectively extinguishing the "fiery darts".

Priority in Armor:
Paul emphasizes the importance of the shield, stating that believers should "take up" the shield of faith, making it a priority in their spiritual armor.

Symbolic Meaning:
The shield can be viewed as a visual representation of the believer's dependence on God's grace and strength, offering protection against the forces of evil.

• Verse 13: "But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; and behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left alone there with the kings of Persia."

I'm aware of the general understanding that the angel was prevented from answering Daniel immediately by the prince of Persia but that comes with the premise that the angel's delayed/hindered mission was to answer Daniel. However, if I knew what was going on in Persia at the time, I would better know if my idea were relevant. But it occurred to me that, at the time of Daniel's prayer, the angel had been preoccupied and was the prince of the kingdom was managing to prevent any movement in that kingdom, until Michael came to his assistance. I can't help but wonder if the angel was in Persia because of an unrelated mission in the first place or was answering Daniel his only mission?

God and I are safe in God's risen Son being given from God the new heart, that now leads not the mindset that gets people under Law to do what no flesh person (Other than Jesus has done) can do or ever could do, revealed in the Old Testament, not even the first chosen could be perfect ever
Ezekiel 36:26 God gives a new heart in God's risen Son Jesus Christ for us to rest in and love alI in the same mercy and truth given us by Son first
I love because Father, Daddy, PaPa, loves us all first, revealed. by Son going willingly to that cross without any flesh fight back at all He is perfect, no need for him to go is there not for the self anyways, it was for us all y'all. To reconcile us all first (2 Cor 5:17-20)
Me trusting, God for us all to come through for us all to rest as said to in Hebrews 4, calls us to rest and thus do, not of the self trying to obey, which I am getting from your reply to me, in your post I am to do or else attitude "I", "I", "I" re read Romans 7 die to Law to the have to do or else attitudes of religion. When God says to me to trust God and not have to think it over as religion teaches people to do, which gets people in a betwixt and stresses people out, which gives others control over being willing to God to take control of you personally. Me, wanting God to lead through me, seeing it is done already by Son for us all to do it without taking any credit in doing it by the Love of God getting the credit not anyone else or self.
I am free I am crucified and that is not a boast as in Gal. 2:20 Paul states
Love to you in your growing new too. I am not perfect, God is and you know this too, thank you

 

[lrs68]

If I recall correctly, Lewis said he needed a break after writing the book because it was difficult to write essentially a playbook of how the enemy opposes believers.

I believe it because I took a break to refresh my mind after reading it myself.

Another person asked to read it and only read a couple of pages before giving the book back claiming it's too twisted to even attempt to understand it.

yes, I think he did say, that, for him when he saw from the evil view and wrote of it, it set him aback. Yet needed to be done for us all to read it and hear it in truth from Goid Father too, at least me, thank you
I enjoy those letters for awareness and has taken me to read it more that three times, almost ready to read it again
Lewis: If I give you a license to sin, and you take it. I bet within three months, sinning will no longer be exciting, not having to keep from it anymore no. The bait to sin is in the command not to sin!
That is quit insightful to me at least. Getting made aware and being wise to the traps of evil
as called to be in (Matthew 10:16-20) And be harmless in the awareness is the hard part, once aware of the evil all around us here on earth for sure

 

[studentoftheword]

God and I are safe in God's risen Son being given from God the new heart,

What youi displaying here is you are being DUPED by Satan Himself ------Your not safe from Satan's fiery darts ----God gives you the way to keep Satan away from your thinking but you have to do the work --

Jesus defeated Satan's grip on eternal death ---only ----The enemy still prowls around Saved people hoping to dupe them ---and He has succeeded with you -----

Satan, as depicted in Christian tradition, is seen as an active opponent of believers, aiming to hinder their faith and relationship with God. He employs various tactics, including temptation, causing suffering, and seeking to undermine believers' faith.

Does the devil attack you more the closer you get to God?

As warriors for God, we can certainly expect his attacks.

The closer we walk with God, the more Satan's mission is at stake. You will feel him up the ante and begin to hit you harder, seeking to drive you away from God. This warfare may come packaged in many worldly forms, such as temptation.

Why does the devil attack more when I try to get closer to God?


When you embark on a journey to draw closer to God, you may find that the devil’s attacks intensify. This experience is not uncommon among believers and can be deeply perplexing and disheartening. However, understanding the reasons behind these spiritual attacks can provide clarity and fortitude, enabling you to stand firm in your faith.

The Bible speaks extensively about spiritual warfare, and it is clear that the devil is an adversary who seeks to disrupt our relationship with God.

In 1 Peter 5:8, we are warned, "Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour." This verse highlights the devil's relentless pursuit to undermine our spiritual wellbeing. When you make a conscious effort to grow closer to God, you pose a threat to the devil’s agenda. He knows that a believer who is deeply rooted in God's love and truth is empowered to resist his schemes and advance God's kingdom.

People have this idea that demons are more powerful because of movie's and TV but there's only a couple of things they can really do.

1. project thought thought
2. Project thoughts to others around that then say unnecessary thing to us in passing most of the time they can't even recall what they have said or don't know why they said it.
3. sometime people you meet will just hate us they wont know why they just dont. well we know they are demon possessed.

There are a few others but the majority of Christians don't have to worry about those and as long as we trust in God he will help us overcome the wicked ones.
