Welcome to the war. Thats how Timothy Warner greeted a group of people at Fuller Seminary. What war? The one youre already in.
Over the past 150 years, the western world (including the church) has downplayed the reality of the unseen realm and spiritual warfare. Beaudelaire was right: The devils greatest trick is to convince us he doesn't exist. This leaves us vulnerable.
This sermon explains Daniel 10 and the mysterious battle between archangels and a demon-prince of Persia. The battle lasted 21 days, the exact amount of time Daniel was fasting down on earth. What does this teach us about the unseen realm, and how might we live more wisely under the power of Jesus?
Perhaps the biggest challenge facing most Christians today is not that they wont spend eternity with God but that they dont spend today with God.
