SPIRITUAL WARFARE IS A REAL PROBLEM THAT AFFECTS US TODAY (WATCH VIDEO)
Read 2 Corinthians 10:3-6
The Bible warns us that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood. Our battle is not against people but against spiritual wickedness. The Bible contains detailed accounts of spiritual attacks on people. The Bible gives details about how Jesus cast out demons that had taken possession of people's minds and bodies. What makes us think that we don't have to worry about such things today?
Some Christians will roll their eyes when they hear about spiritual warfare as if it is some kind of taboo subject they don't believe in. Yet the Bible speaks about spiritual warfare and warns us about it. We often don't realize when we are being spiritually attacked. We often don't know how to fight it. But we should learn.

The Best Advice I Never Got When I Needed It Most
For scripture to back this up, Read Psalm 37
Proverbs 3
and John 15: 7& 8
Proverbs 3
and John 15: 7& 8
I'm going to show you a list. As you
read the list, guess what these things have in
common:
Talking disrespectfully to parents
and others
getting drunk
swearing
having sex outside of marriage
lying
being angry, resentful or
unforgiving
stealing or cheating
I could go on with the list, but I
think you already know what they have in common. They are a list of
things people do that God does not approve of. You will find in the
Bible many verses that warn of the consequences we face when making
the decisions above.
In my early twenties, I was guilty
of doing three of the above listed offenses on a regular basis. And I
have often said that my early twenties were the worst years of my
life. I believe there's a reason for this. You see, there's a simple
principle to life that many people ignore. And it is this: Our
actions and behavior affect our happiness and the things that happen
to us.
In my early twenties I was pretty
miserable. I wish someone would have told me that my misery was
self-inflicted. The choices I made and the way I was behaving were
the reason for my misery. If I had chosen to live according to God's
rules, my life would have been completely different. I would have
been blessed by God instead of cursed.
You may think cursed is a harsh
word, but that's exactly how I felt in my early twenties. Nothing
good happened to me. I was always struggling financially. I felt
lonely. Nothing came easily to me. Everything was a constant
struggle. I wasn't living a godly life, so I didn't have God's help,
guidance, or blessings.
It's been about thirty years since I
was in my early twenties, living life on my own terms and not caring
about God or why he created me. Not caring about living the way God
wanted me to live. Not caring about how I treated people. Thinking
only of myself and doing whatever I wanted to do. Everyone else saw
how messed up I was back then, but I didn't see it until many years
later.
It wasn't until I started living
right that I realized how rich and rewarding life can be. I still
have struggles, but I'm not lonely anymore. Good things happen to me
all the time. Wonderful blessings fall in my lap unexpectedly. God
has blessed me with work that I enjoy. He's given me financial
stability, although I'm far from rich. My emotions aren't up and down
anymore, I have peace. I'm dealing with a body that's getting older,
but I wouldn't go back to 23 and all its misery for anything.
Sometimes you just want to shake
people and say, “The reason your life is a mess is because God has
turned you over to yourself. He's not helping you. You rejected Him
over and over again and now you are living without His blessings,
without His guidance, and without the love and joy He wants to bring
you.”
I wish someone would have shaken me in my early twenties. Maybe someone wanted to shake me, but they were afraid I might hate them. They didn't have the courage to risk my resentment for the greater good of saving me from my miserable self. What could someone have said to me that might have changed my life? What words could have motivated me to change? Perhaps these words:
"There's no better way to prove that
God exists than to give Him a chance to show you the changed life you
will have when you begin to live on His terms. Stop swearing. Stop
getting drunk. Stop having sex outside of marriage. Stop lying and
cheating. Stop saying and doing mean things to people and start
loving them. Forgive those who have hurt you, so you can be free of
the hatred you feel. So you don't walk around sounding like an angry,
miserable grouch...
Our lives on this earth pass by
quickly. Some day, maybe sooner than you think, you will discover what
lies beyond the grave. I can't prove that God exists. I can only tell
you the difference He's made in my life. And that's more evidence
than you can give me to deny His existence. Whether you believe in
God or not, His existence is already determined. He won't go away
because you don't believe...
Why people don't have more fear of
God is a mystery to me. Why they choose to make the same mistakes
over and over without learning from them is something that baffles
me. When are you going to learn that your life is a mess because you
reject God and you are doing and saying things that may please you, but it
doesn't please Him. That is why you suffer. That is why unhappiness and depression follow you everywhere."
These are the words that I wish
someone would have told me in my early twenties. I can only wonder
about the difference that advice might have made. Life is not about me. Life is about pleasing God, and there is great reward in making that one decision. But you will never experience the rewards until you get close to God and live the way He wants you to live.
