Description
Are angels and demons real? How seriously should Christians take the spiritual realm? And how can you tell when something is actually spiritual warfare?
In this message from God Only Knows, Dr. Joel Muddamalle explains that the unseen realm is real, and that spiritual warfare isn’t only about possession. It also shows up in envy, unforgiveness, and good things we’ve made ultimate. Teaching from James 3, he contrasts earthly, demonic wisdom that is self-centered with heavenly wisdom that willingly yields to God. Through Eden, Endor, and the cross, he shows how the two kinds of wisdom play out and how Jesus defeated the dark powers.
This message will help you:
– Recognize everyday spiritual warfare
– Stay alert and sober-minded instead of being obsessed with or dismissive of the spiritual realm
– Trust that God’s “no” is for your good instead of forcing the answers you want
– Find confidence in Jesus’ victory over the dark powers and the Holy Spirit’s presence in your life
