Discover the reality of spiritual warfare and how Christians can effectively engage the unseen realm while staying anchored in God's love. This comprehensive teaching explores the three heavens described in Scripture, revealing how believers are already seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus and can experience heaven's benefits now, not just in eternity.Learn the crucial difference between awareness and obsession when it comes to spiritual warfare. While we need intel about the enemy's plans, the key principle is that what you focus on is what you become. God sits in heaven and laughs at the devil's schemes because there's no comparison between God's power and the enemy's limited authority.Understand how modern spiritual attacks manifest, particularly through the mental health crisis affecting young people aged 14-30. Suicide rates are at all-time highs, and life expectancy has dropped for the first time in 70 years due to drug overdoses and suicide. Sleep deprivation serves as the number one trigger for mental health issues, making rest and peace essential weapons in spiritual warfare.Discover the biblical approach to binding and loosing that goes beyond just rebuking the enemy. Many believers get trapped focusing only on what they're fighting against without emphasizing what God wants to establish. If we clean out a house but don't fill it with God's presence, the situation becomes seven times worse.Explore creative prayer strategies and learn how to move in the opposite spirit of what the enemy is doing. Where there's death, declare life. Where there's despair, release hope. Where there's division, bring unity. This requires staying connected to the Father's heart and following His specific instructions, even when they challenge our comfort zones.Uncover what biblical evangelism really looks like - relationship over conversion. True evangelism isn't about having a default setting of trying to convict people of sin but about being in sync with the Holy Spirit and modeling our connection with the Father. Jesus was called a friend of sinners because He genuinely loved them, not because He was trying to get an angle on them.Learn how to bring light to dark places while staying anchored in God's love and authority. If we want to see the unseen realm and grow in spiritual influence, we need to go where people are opening spiritual doors and confidently offer them the greatest door - Jesus Christ.This teaching emphasizes growing in both spiritual authority and compassion, understanding our identity as those who carry the Holy Spirit within us. The Trinity planned before the foundation of the world for this moment when the Holy Spirit could dwell within mankind, setting us up for success rather than failure.



This sermon was recorded at a Sunday morning gathering at Church of the Lookout in Longmont, Colorado.
