2 Corinthians is the clearest talk about 'spiritual warfare', but it is not talking about fighting spiritual beings or forces, as so many mistakenly believe:
2Co. 10:4f The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
Prayer to God through Christ is a good strategy. Pray in accordance with 2Cor that you will increase in your ability to win people to Christ and to keep your own thoughts in check.
Christ has already defeated the powers of darkness, so leave them to him.

We really do not have spiritual warfare. The warfare that we are involved in is done by Christ and was accomplished at the cross. In Ephesians 6 we are told to put on the armor of God and just stand firm. Some churches have gotten off into trying to fight every demon that comes along, and they suffer severely for it. God says give no place to the devil. When we do we open up a whole can of spirit "worms" that even get Christians put away into institutions. Stay away from all that stuff and let Christ deal with it.

i imagine you're somewhat egotistical in case you've faith you're battling a conflict for a supernatural entity as a way to save the international, all by utilizing typing on Yahoo solutions. to respond to your question, there's a daft quantity of textual alterations in Bible manuscripts, and the Hindu holy books, far older than the Bible, have also managed to be preserved appropriately - so could we modify into Hindus? EDIT - to make clean: My 1st element is that i do not trust the Bible shows indications of being supernaturally preserved, on condition that there are alterations. they are few besides the undeniable fact that, as a way to particularly be compared to different books from historic circumstances. Why could i trust that the Bible's renovation is supernatural, if i do not trust that of the different texts? that's one among those "i am going to ignore what you're truly keeping because that is easier to attack a strawman" type responses.

Yes. I believe in spiritual warfare.
Prayer, being alert (sober and vigilant) , studying and meditating on the scriptures day and night, are all ways to fight in this spiritual battle.

One of my battle plans is to create a page on myspace that gives people an answer for the hope that I have in Jesus Christ.
