Welcome back to school SSU! In this episode we are re-revisiting our old friend “spiritual warfare”. Lately, a lot of people have been refuting this concept of taking a stand against evil/demonic forces because it is ‘supposedly’ an old testament theory. Well, in this video, I want to show the evidence of spiritual warfare in the old as well as new testament and how important it is to practice it in order to destroy the works of the devil in our lives.
Most Christians often overlook spiritual warfare during their prayer time; yet this practice is so vital to demolish demonic strongholds that may be built in the lives of God’s children. We are therefore revisiting this topic previously discussed. This time, we want to put an accent on how to conduct spiritual warfare on campus in order to destroy the devil’s works against us. Stay blessed!
Offensive spiritual warfare is a practice often overlooked yet extremely important in the life of a Christian. Through it, strongholds are broken, enemies are defeated, etc. Join us as we engage in this study.
