Quotes About Spiritual warfare

It is not that we don't have faith it is just that Satan is trying to destroy our faith with lies.

1 Peter 5 - Be well balanced because Satan 'roams about like a hungry lion seeking who he can devour.

When a person is going through a hard time, his mind wants to give up. Satan knows that if he can defeat us in our mind, he can defeat us in our experience. That's why it is so important that we not lose heart, grow weary and faint.

Satan will aggressively fight against the renewal of your mind, but it is vital that you press on and continue to pray and study in this area until you gain measurable victory.

For the weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood], but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds, [Inasmuch as we] refute arguments and theories and reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God; and we lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). 2 Corinthians 10:4,5

You may have some major strongholds in your life that need to be broken. Let me encourage you by saying, "God is on your side." There is a war going on, and your mind is the battlefield. But the good news is that God is fighting on your side.

We can defeat Satan much more quickly by praising God than by worrying.

Thus, so far we have seen that: We are engaged in a war. Our enemy is Satan. The mind is the battlefield. The devil works diligently to set up strongholds in our mind. He does it through strategy and deceit (through well-laid plans and deliberate deception). He is in no hurry; he takes his time to work out his plan.

Satan takes our circumstances and builds strongholds in our lives—how he wages war on the battlefield of the mind. But, thank God, we have weapons to tear down the strongholds. God doesn't abandon us and leave us helpless. First Corinthians 10:13 promises us that God will not allow us to be tempted beyond what we can bear, but with every temptation He will also provide the way out, the escape.

For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere. —EPHESIANS 6:12

En 2 Corintios 10:4-5 queda muy claro que tenemos que conocer la Palabra de Dios lo suficientemente bien como para ser capaces de comparar lo que tenemos en la mente con lo que Dios tiene en Su mente; cualquier pensamiento que intente exaltarse por encima de la Palabra de Dios hemos de aplastarlo y traerlo cautivo a Jesucristo.

La mente es el campo de batalla. Es de vital necesidad que nuestros pensamientos concuerden con los de Dios. Es un proceso que tomará tiempo y estudio.

for he comes only to steal, kill, and destroy (see John 10:10).

When Satan attacks, we should immediately begin to use our spiritual weapons—praising and worshipping God, praying, and standing on the truth of God's Word. When the enemy speaks lies, we should speak truth. When he tries to separate us from God, we should draw near to Him.

Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. EPHESIANS 6:14–15 NIV

only a couple of minutes of praying, I felt a tremendous deliverance come to my own mind. It was quite dramatic. The thought of evil spirits lurking around is rather creepy, but they exist. Jesus called demons by name and commanded them to leave.

our warfare is not with other human beings but with the devil and his demons.

By the power of His blood, come against all evil spirits that hinder godly thoughts. If you feel your mind is sluggish, lazy, and unable to believe, then speak against "mind-binding spirits." Pray this way not just one time but any time you experience difficulty in this area. The devil never runs out of fiery darts to throw against us when we are trying to go forward.

The Bible says our warfare is with the devil, not with people (Ephesians 6:12).

17The world is passing away, and with it its lusts [the shameful pursuits and ungodly longings]; but the one who does the will of God and carries out His purposes lives forever. 18Children, it is the last hour [the end of this age]; and just as you heard that the antichrist is coming [the one who will oppose Christ and attempt to replace Him], even now many antichrists (false teachers) have appeared, which confirms our belief that it is the last hour.

That is the way we are to resist Satan when he comes to tempt us into condemnation, depression or any other wrong thing he is trying to give us.

mind-binding spirits

read your Bible, go to church, say your prayers, and ask God to take care of you; then you need never fear dreams or anything else, for you must always remember that God has more power than the devil, and always will have.

All satanic works are performed from the outside inward; all divine works from the inside outward.
