Spiritual Warfare: Standing Strong in Christ
What Is Spiritual Warfare?
Spiritual warfare is the ongoing battle between God’s kingdom and the forces of darkness. It’s not fought with physical weapons, but through prayer, faith, and the Word of God. Every believer is in this battle—whether they realize it or not.
Key Verse: “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers... against spiritual wickedness in high places.” — Ephesians 6:12
