We’ve established what spiritual warfare is, and we’ve exposed all the blatant and sneaky ways we experience it. Now, it’s time to fight it! This week, Tracy equips us with all the knowledge we need to know how to fight from victory when facing spiritual warfare. This is part 1, so make sure to take great notes and tune in for part 2 next week!

THIS WEEK’S VERSES:

“All authority (dunimus power) in heaven and on earth has been given to me.” (Matthew 28:16-18)

“Go therefore (exousia power) and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19-20)

“Jesus now called the twelve (disciples) and gave them authority (exousia) power to deal with all the demons and cure diseases.  He commissioned them to preach the news of God’s kingdom and heal the sick. The apostles departed and went into the villages with the wonderful news of God’s kingdom, and they healed diseases wherever they went.”  (Luke 9:1-6)

 “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.” (John 14:12)

“When He (JESUS) had disarmed the rulers and authorities [those supernatural forces of evil operating against us], He made a public example of them [exhibiting them as captives in His triumphal procession], having triumphed over them through [i]the cross.” (Colossians 2:15)

“Because she loves me, says the Lord, I will rescue her:  I will protect her for she acknowledges my name.  She will call upon me, and I will answer her: I will be with her and trouble, I will deliver her and honor her.  With LONG LIFE I will SATISFY her and SHOW her MY SALVATION.”  (Psalm 91: 14-16)

“For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.” (Hebrews 4:12

Monica leads us this week on sneaky ways we experience spiritual warfare that we may not recognize as warfare, as well as things that may not be warfare at all! Listen in as we funnel down practically what warfare may look like to us as women on a day-to-day basis, and ways to combat it.

THIS WEEK’S VERSES:

“A thief has only one thing in mind—he wants to steal, slaughter, and destroy. But I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect—life in its fullness until you overflow!” (John 10:10)

“As the most dangerous winds enter at little openings, so the devil never enters more dangerously than by little unobserved incidents, which seem to be nothing, yet insensibly open the heart to great temptations.”  (John Wesley)

“Therefore I was left alone and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me, and my countenance grew deathly pale, and I retained no strength.”  (Daniel 10:8)

I tell you this timeless truth; The person who follows me in faith, believing in me, will do the same mighty miracles that I do—even greater miracles than these because I go to be with my Father!”  (John 14:12)

We’re so excited to be back for this spring session! We are diving into spiritual warfare over the next six weeks, so get your notepads ready, your headphones on and settle in!

In this first episode, Tracy leads into discussion on what even is spiritual warfare? She defines it, gives us scripture to help explain it, and gives us key ways to identify we might be facing it.

In the coming weeks, we’ll look at sneaky ways we might be experiencing warfare without realizing it, how to use our authority in Christ to fight it, and ways we experience warfare in our homes. We hope these episodes leave you feeling encouraged, strengthened and ready to be victorious! Because here is the good news: We fight FROM victory, not FOR victory.  

THIS WEEK’S VERSES:

“Submit yourselves then to God, Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Come near to God and He will come near to you.” (John 4:7-8)

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walkers about, seeking whom he may devour; whom you are to RESIST, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same affections are accomplished in your brethren that in the world.” (1 Peter 5:9)

“For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete.” (2 Corinthians 10:3-6)

“For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12)

Tracy read Psalm 126 from the Passion Translation in this episode:

“It was like a dream come true
when you freed us from our bondage and brought us back to Zion!
We laughed and laughed and overflowed with gladness.
We were left shouting for joy and singing your praise.
All the nations saw it and joined in, saying,
‘The Lord has done great miracles for them!’
Yes, he did mighty miracles and we are overjoyed!
Now, Lord, do it again! Restore us to our former glory!
May streams of your refreshing flow over us
until our dry hearts are drenched again.
Those who sow their tears as seeds
will reap a harvest with joyful shouts of glee.
They may weep as they go out carrying their seed to sow,
but they will return with joyful laughter and shouting with gladness
as they bring back armloads of blessing and a harvest overflowing!”
