Can you share an experience of spiritual warfare you've had
There is a place of peace yes but if you have not dealt with it with the full armor of God then you may be walking in a slippery road because the devil only goes after you if he considers you to be a threat.
There is asaying that says if the devil is coming after you then you must be doing smething right
Have you ever encountered what is kbowb as shadow people? they usually show up with sleep paralysis
My mum encountered all sorts, concerning this, she was a samariton. So yes I've encountered a lot spiritual warfare as my mum was also subject to attack from the people she helped.
You may not realize it but your in warfare every day maybe you do not have to deal with actual warfare because there are times when one must be in prayer for hours to fend of the enemy. if your connected to the spiritual then toy fight the spiritual I have a friend who recently had to pray for hours with her church because the enemy was attacking their church I myself will at times be plagued with illness like severe illness and when I rebuke the illness with the authority of Christ it goes away
I don't focus on the warfare I have no choice in the matter it comes and it comes heavy which is why my faith is so strong because it has been tested and tried many times in this regard. some of us do not choose to be in warfare it just happens and it happens a lot no one who has ever dealt with spiritual warfare would focus on it because your just asking to be attacked if that is the case but when it plagues you because you were called to be a spiritual warrior then this is why we need the full armor of God
It can be tough at times to have to fight against the devil but God allows it not to break us but to call us to be strong in faith and prayer, some do not know what actual warfare is like because they have not had to go through it, shadow people, demons, evil spirits all these things can occur when one is close to God because you are a threat to the devil.
But we have authority over these things in Christ
My experience is that all of humanity is under spiritual attack by atheists and anti-Christians.
The signs include persecuting and murdering Christians and banning evangelism.
your thinking of scripture in Peter right or a season of suffering for believers, but I'm sure it's not what just God allows, or doesn't allow, I'm pretty confident to say that these creatures attack people and ignore God to stop.
Yes this also true and the enemy doesn't care what God says and will attack anyways but Job as ne example had it bad in this regard and his faith was very strong yet he almost crumbled under the enemies attacks.
Though to be fair he never rebuked the enemy nor did he fight back
And some will never know how severe spiritual warfare can be or having to deal with witchcraft for instance that one is a whole other level of war right there
Yeah or they call you a calvinist, @cv5 is very good at calling people that and his spiteful remarks are not from God. we are at war even in these debates here in cc and both God and the devil are very active here
Theres definitely a lack of knowledge that's the problem I believe when dealing with it I like to call them it.
It is an appropriate name for them, But how many times do you see Gods help being offered, or asking people to stop in God's name only to be ignored
yes that was the same demon who hated being denied by Jesus God he went for his disciples to get to Jesus
I remember the demon legion that Jesus encountered but that is only one demon I remember Jesus and the apostles having to deal with, with Judas it was satan himself with Peter it was also satan which is why Jesus said get behind me satan to him
Yes, we need to discern the difference between Calvinism and tulipism,
just as we need to discern the difference between peaceful and militant Muslims
and between socialists and atheist Marxists.
that instance with Peter i tend to lean to satan being used as just a name to describe Peter's temptation to stop the lord from full filling his destiny,
Where Peter denied Jesus three times i tend to believe Peter was having his thoughts twisted by spiritual warfare,
But what I believe more for a good reason is demons are all the same as satan they all claim there God.
My mum had countless tails told to her that people had this voice telling them God was instructing them to do things they didn't want to
Yeah that makes sense and many Christians in the past slaughtered people in God's name for people being accused of witchcraft I tend to believe this was the work of the devil telling people to do this.
