While recognizing our fleshly characteristics is an important first step, we must follow it with corresponding Scriptural truths from Father’s Word.  Continually renewing our minds with these truths will enable us to resist the enemy and stand against his attacks.

Temptations to sin are offered to us by our enemy, who often masquerades as us and makes it difficult to recognize his voice.  To spot the lies, we must understand and embrace the truth about i) who we are in Christ and ii) our fleshly weaknesses that make us vulnerable.

Effective spiritual warfare hinges on four keys that Christians must master if they wish to live in freedom:  i) Recognize the condemning thought; ii) Refuse that thought; iii) Reckon (consider) themselves dead to sin and alive to God; and iv) Rest in Jesus.

Spiritual warfare bears no resemblance to what’s depicted in the media.  It’s not a power struggle, with good and evil battling and the victor undecided.  It’s a truth struggle, with the veracity of Father’s Word proving false all of the enemy’s lies.
