2. We Are Involved In An Invisible War, A Cosmic Conflict That Has Eternal Implications

The Bible tells us that once Daniel had been praying to God and not receiving an answer to his prayer -- an angel came to him and explained the delay in terms of spiritual warfare:

Then he said, "Don’t be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day you began to pray for understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your request has been heard in heaven. I have come in answer to your prayer. But for twenty-one days the spirit prince of the kingdom of Persia blocked my way. Then Michael, one of the archangels, came to help me, and I left him there with the spirit prince of the kingdom of Persia. Daniel 10:12-13

There is much here I do not understand, but what is very obvious is that a spiritual war was taking place between these spirits and angels. This reveals that in the world which is unseen by us there is a conflict going on, a conflict of the ages between good and evil, light and darkness, God and Satan. It reveals that there are satanic forces and heavenly forces. And it reveals that we are smack dab in the middle of the whole thing.

Lets look at another example;
Once Elisha and his servant were confronted with the army of King Aram which had surrounded the city. The servant saw the chariots of the enemy and began to despair.

"Ah, my lord, what will we do now?" he cried out to Elisha. "Don’t be afraid!" Elisha told him. "For there are more on our side than on theirs!" Then Elisha prayed, "O LORD, open his eyes and let him see!" The LORD opened his servant’s eyes, and when he looked up, he saw that the hillside around Elisha was filled with horses and chariots of fire. 2 Kings 6:15b-17

God revealed to them that He was ready to do battle on their behalf from the world that was unseen with human eyes. The spiritual battle that we are in is no less real than it was for Daniel, or Elisha, or any of God’s people down through the ages.

Satan, the god of this evil world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe, so they are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News that is shining upon them. They don’t understand the message we preach about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God. 2 Corinthians 4:4

 
It is quite obvious that God is calling His church to engage Satan in warfare so we must be strong in the Lord and be able to break satanic strongholds. Our weapons are not of this world, are not visible, but are unseen weapons like prayer, the Word of God, and other things that we’ll look at in further lessons. The decision that we make today, as to whether we will or will not begin to take up the weapons of our warfare has eternal implications for those who are not yet in a relationship with Christ. We need to begin by honestly considering that some of the struggles, relational conflicts, and misunderstandings about God are caused by satanic opposition.

 

 

You can go to church and play Christian-ease. You can blame your problems on people, circumstances, life in general… but it’s too late now. You now know that you are living in a harsh spiritual unseen reality of warfare. If you do not go to war, you will live a long laborious life. You may no longer blame God for your life due to your lack of warfare, your laissez-faire attitude. Is life hard? unfair? lacking victory? It’s because you chose not to engage in the spiritual realm and fight.  

 

 

Keys to warfare!

1. obedience brings power! If you struggle with human authority you will never have the spiritual authority.

2. People want Gods power for their ministry but not Gods character or nature

3. Your intimacy with God should be your most intimidating part about you concerning your spiritual life & warfare.

4. You plan to win the war!  No plan means you plan to lose the war.  There is no other way to look at it.

 

The soldiers in a war don’t just rely on training and weaponry – they rely on the orders given them by high command.

Everyday you should get up and say “Father you know the enemy is out there and he wants to kill me, destroy me, lie to me, deceive me… what are your plans for me today to withstand the attacks of the enemy!

 

When the scripture says that satan will shoot firery darts at us that is a specific shot at our weakness!
