Ever have wicked thoughts or evil impulses? Discover the source of these wild thoughts and how to combat them.
Four facts you need to know
- God has objectively defeated Satan. He has delivered us from sin’s penalty and power. In the interim, we are involved in guerilla warfare with demonic forces.
- As believers, we have been transferred from the kingdom of darkness to the Kingdom of light with all the rights, privileges, and position a child of God entails.
- The spiritual battle involves a responsibility to “put on” the spiritual protection God has provided. We can resist the enemy’s attempts to deceive, accuse, and cast doubt when we stand firm.
- The great majority of spiritual warfare need never go beyond the regular practice of living out our position in Christ by faith. Our practice of the spiritual armor protects us from Satan’s attempts and minimizes any impact by the enemy.
There are times however, when we must move beyond “standing firm” and ENGAGE the enemy in actual combat
- When taking significant steps of faith for spiritual growth
- When invading enemy territory
- When exposing him for who he really is
- When we repent and make a “clean break” with the world, a long-held sin pattern, or an unholy relationship
- When God is preparing us for a “great work” for His glory
How to engage the enemy and win:
- Taking up the shield of FAITH
- Take the helmet of SALVATION
- Take the sword of the SPIRIT
Summary: How to engage the enemy in spiritual warfare
- Prerequisite is a HEALTHY spiritual life
- Understand your POSITION in Christ
- DISCERN when demonic influence may be the cause
- Claim God’s promises OUT LOUD
- Take our authority and position in Christ to COMMAND demonic forces to cease their activity and depart

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
