For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. - Ephesians 6:12 (ESV)
Discussing Spiritual Warfare (SW) isn’t the most comfortable topic for the modern-day Christian. We like our “spiritual forces of evil” to be metaphorical rather than literal. Yet, the Bible is clear that we are in a battle against a very real Satan and very real principalities - so, how do we fight? Today, Paige is joined by Gina Burns, the founder and director of Praying Wives & Mothers Ministries, the founder and director of a homeless ministry called The Blessed Portion along with her husband, and a mother who has been doing Spiritual Warfare ministry for 15 years. Gina breaks down SW and how it can affect all the areas in our lives. By paying attention to the subtle ways the enemy sneaks in, we can stand firm in the authority given by Christ and teach our children how to guard themselves as they grow.
Paige’s Takeaways
- Spiritual Warfare is anything contrary to the Word of God.
- We have the authority.
- Guard your heart, guard your mind. Be on alert for doors that you may inadvertently leave open for the Enemy to come in and find a foothold.
- Ephesians 1: All the spiritual blessings of Jesus have been given to us!!
- Normalize conversations on this topic with your kids.
- Start simply by asking: How can I pray for you today? How has the enemy been messing with you lately?
- Remind them that they have a God who loves them, who is always with them, who hears their prayers, and who has appointed them with the authority of the Holy Spirit.
