Enemies Of Our Spiritual Life | Vineyard Church Reveal Campus | Brian T. Anderson

Welcome to our Reveal podcast,

Today we’re talking about the enemies of our spiritual life the forces that try to pull us away from God and weaken our faith. The Bible identifies three main ones: the world, the flesh, and the devil.

First, the world not creation itself, but the sinful systems and values that oppose God. 1 John 2:16 warns us of “the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life.” The world tries to shape us into its mold rather than God’s.

Second, the flesh our old sinful nature. Paul reminds us in Galatians 5 that the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit. This is that inner struggle we all feel, the battle between selfishness and surrender to God.

Third, the devil our adversary. 1 Peter 5:8 says he prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. His aim is to deceive, accuse, and destroy.

But here’s the good news: in Christ, we’re not left defenseless. We have God’s Spirit, God’s Word, and the armor of God to stand firm. James 4:7 says, “Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.”
