Do you believe in spiritual warfare?

Question

Do you believe that there is a spiritual world around us and that we as Christians can take part in a spiritual warfare if God chooses to use us there?

Answer 1

There is no such thing as spiritual warfare. What's going on is only religious warfare, with men fighting among each other claiming that their version of God is the real one.

God is far too vast to be captured in words, let alone a book. We need to find Gods within ourselves, and when we do, we will realise that God does not, and will never, promote any kind of war, whether physical, emotional, mental or spiritual. War is the lack of God, and only those who do not have God in their hearts, will engage in it.

God makes you compassionate, loving and caring. God makes you feel another's pain, makes you love every being, whether plant, animal or human - after all, they are all HIS creations and He loves them all irrespective of religion, just like a parent would love his children irrespective of anything.

Answer 2

I believe in a spiritual world that is where we are going after the death of the body. But I don't think has spiritual warfare.

Answer 3

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

God chooses to use every believer to take part in spiritual warfare. It is part of the normal Christian's life.

Answer 4

Yes.
Eph 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Eph 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Eph 6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
Eph 6:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Eph 6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Eph 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

Answer 5

I believe that by believing we evoke that part of us that can advent anything into reality, so by this power inherent to our being and provided by God as a manifestation of our dominion over all things in this realm then yes, it is possible for God to deploy us in spiritual warfare if this were to the amusement of God.

Answer 6

Yes, I do believe in spiritual warfare! Ephesians 6:12 says, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the DARKNESS OF THIS WORLD, against SPIRITUAL WICKEDNESS in high places." Therefore I'm inclined to believe that we struggle within ourselves EVERY DAY with sin in one form or fashion regardless of the strength of our relationship with God.

Answer 7

No, don't mistake warfare as anything spiritual. Did jesus(the tangible earthly example) ever fought back or start a fight? No.

Answer 8

Not a christian here, but I do believe in cultural warfare when I see christians try to impose their warped views on the rest of us.

Answer 9

Every one is involved in spirtual warfare, we are spirited beings. The supernatural realm is surrounding us, tempting us to turn away from the things of God. But God spirt is their as well, helping us to stay strong.

Answer 10

Of course I do. St. Paul told us to be ready for it: "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places" EPH 6:12.
