Spiritual Warfare

Read pages 185-192 of Stephen Canup’s book, "Knowing Jesus Intimately: A Relationship of Love-motivated, Spirit-empowered Obedience," which is available for free reading in Pando Books and Edovo.

TAKEAWAY HIGHLIGHT

“Those who are citizens of God’s Kingdom are already involved in spiritual

warfare. It is not optional for them. The only decision we can make is

whether or not we will be a part of the Kingdom of God by faith in Jesus

Christ and submission to His Lordship. If you are already a part of His

Kingdom, then you are at war with the kingdom of Satan. You simply

need to recognize this reality, become spiritually equipped, and learn how

to fight against Satan’s kingdom – because, if you don’t, you are going to

be a casualty of spiritual warfare.” Derek Prince

PRACTICAL APPLICATION

Think about the ways the enemy attacks, tempts or distracts you in

his attempt to get you off track from pursuing intimacy of relationship

with Jesus. How do you normally react? What ways have you found to

resist him? Find specific scriptures to use against him when he comes

to try to steal, kill and destroy. Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you to

wage war His way!
