Foundations of Spiritual Warfare pt 5

Spiritual warfare is real, but we don’t have to live afraid or defeated. God has given us authority and has equipped us to stand against the enemy.

One of the enemy’s greatest strategies is to attack our minds. He reminds us of our past mistakes, points out our weaknesses, and tries to convince us that we are not who God says we are. But we don't have to accept those accusations. Our past does not define us—God does.

We also need to be careful about who we allow to speak into our lives. We can love everyone and still recognize that not everyone should have the same access to our hearts and minds. The right relationships will help us grow, speak truth to us, and strengthen our walk with God.

Spiritual strength begins with knowing who God is, who we are in Christ, and who we are fighting against. When we stay connected to God and grounded in His Word, we can recognize the enemy's lies and stand firm in the truth.
