Victory in Spiritual Warfare: Outfitting Yourself for the Battle

Top Highlights

“Authority is the right to use the power that you possess.” (source)

“The reason Satan took on the form of a snake is because he and his demons operate best when there is a physical presence through which to work. Remember this principle: While spiritual warfare is being waged in heavenly places, our enemy is very skilled at locating available vehicles in the physical realm through which to influence, manipulate, and deceive.” (source)

“Our battles originate in the spiritual realm—the heavenly places—so the only way to fight them is with weapons that work in that realm.” (source)

“Two things happen in spiritual warfare when the breastplate of righteousness is not worn. First, an invitation is sent out to allow demons to hang out in your life. Second, the movement of God is hindered within and through you because there is a break in your fellowship with God. God does not abide with darkness.” (source)

“However, because Satan cannot take away your imputed righteousness, what he tries to do is restrict your personal practice of righteousness. He knows he can’t take away your standing before God, so he looks for a way to break your fellowship with God by causing a breach between your position of righteousness and your practice of righteousness.” (source)
