Sermons About Spiritual-warfare
Angels & Demons
Movies speak to the reality of who we are as people and the things that captivate our hearts and minds. Reel2Real: Harvest Pointe @ The Movies is a sermon series using movies as a backdrop to teach some fundamental truths. Each week we will peak behind the curtain and see the underlying issue that each movie is dealing with and seek to discover what the Bible has to say about these issues. Join us as we seek to go from reel to real in our relationship with Jesus Christ. If you are wondering why we would pick these movies, please know that we are not advocating that you go and see every movie on the list of “Harvest Pointe @ The Movies”. Do your homework (visit www.previewonline.org for a review) and then go and see the movie if that is your decision. We use these movies as a launching place or theme for relevant discussion.

The Battle of the Mind
When Paul warned the Corinthians not to be ignorant of the Devil's "wiles," the Greek word for wiles means "schemes" and is from the same word used for "mind." In other words, Satan's primary assaults occur in our thought life. The mind is the main battlefield in spiritual warfare. Every attack of Satan involves the human mind.

Parallels of Spiritual Warfare
The early Church viewed their spiritual experience in terms of warfare. Protection is described as the "armor of God." The Word of God is compared to a "sword." Satan's attacks are fiery darts and faith is the "good fight." Believers are told to "war a good warfare." Why did God choose the example of natural warfare to describe what is happening in the spirit world between the forces of good and evil? The answer is found in a basic Biblical principle: Natural principles of spiritual truth. God uses natural principles to explain what is happening in the spirit world. We can understand what we see in the natural world. When parallels are drawn between something in the natural world and the spiritual world, then we can understand the spiritual because of the natural. Jesus used this principle often.

Spiritual Warfare - Offensive Weapons
To "war a good warfare" it is evident that you must take offensive action: This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare. (I Timothy 1:18) Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and has professed a good profession before many witnesses. (I Timothy 6:12) You are to fight this battle intelligently with purpose: I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air. (I Corinthians 9:26) Knowing your offensive weapons can give you the ability to fight with purpose instead of uncertainty.

Offensive and Defensive Spiritual Warfare
There are two types of warfare in the natural world: Offensive and defensive. The Bible also teaches both defensive and offensive spiritual strategies. You must learn to fight both defensively and offensively. The only other option is desertion, which is unacceptable and very painful.

The enemies strategy and spiritual warfare
The enemy has a strategy. The Holy Spirit put in the Bible anything and everything we would ever need to know. It is our manual for warfare. The devil is a created being and he can't operate out of the parameters in which he was created so God can foretell and know everything it will attempt - always warning us and guiding us to protection. The devil accuses, condemns, and criticizes while God Forgives, Redeems and Sanctifies. Learn the strategies and overcome the weakness you have been convinces is true and the world you have believed brings you happiness. God is love.
