è Review: Inner Healing through the Anointed Jesus, and the ongoing revelation of our identity in Him is the platform for our effective spiritual warfare. (Luke 4:16-19; Romans 5:17; Hebrews 4:14-16)
è We are in a War! (Ephesians 6:10-18; 1 Peter 5:8, 9; James 4:7) The final result was decided and won at the Cross, Resurrection, and Ascension.

è Our enemy’s agenda: John 10:10
è Our balance: Not obsessed, not ignorant! (Hebrews 12:2 - the right obsession
2 Corinthians 2:10-11; Ephesians 4:26, 27)
è Be alert, aware. Recognize what is and isn’t the real issue. (Our old patterns of thinking, speaking, behaving are often the source of our inner conflict, but also open doors to our soul for the enemy.)
