The Spiritual War
The spiritual war is real, make no mistake about this reality. War is defined as a state of armed conflict between different countries or different groups within a country. The spiritual battle can be defined as a war for there is a conflict between the Kingdom of God and the already defeated yet functioning kingdom of the devil. What we need to realise is that the nature of such warfare is first and foremost spiritual (Ephesians 6), but it manifests and spills over into the natural realm. We are not talking here about conventional warfare, as stated also in 2 Corinthians 10, but warfare in the spiritual realm.
Arise Army of God
It is time for the Church to wake up and wake up fast! The world is slipping into spiritual darkness, and this is a very slippery slope yet it seems the spiritual watchmen – the believers in the Lord – are not raising an alarm on the hills. We are dangerously ignoring Ezekiel 33 which speaks of the watchmen who should be alert to the dangers that come against the Truth. This is the same danger that is threatening to envelop the Church from the inside, for the insidious nature of the enemy’s strategy and plots to steal and deceive is going on unchecked. The spiritual realm is more real than the natural and the principalities and authorities of darkness have one plan which is to draw the world – Christian alike – into its web and snare.

War on the Home Front
We are in a state of spiritual war, even if we admit it or not, and we as believers are facing a very real enemy. And this enemy called the devil uses cruel, vile, and deceptive tactics to destroy the lives of Christians. Simply because we are serving Christ, we are a target of the devil. And the devil uses the same tactics used for thousands of years in times of war, which is to attack the home front. While we are mindful of waging spiritual warfare against the kingdom of darkness through our ministry, adhering to the need for deliverance and fulfilling the Great Commission, we need to understand so often we have neglected to wage war against the enemy who targets our homes, families and marriages. All Christian homes are under attack.
Setting Captives Free and the Spiritual Realm Part One and Two
God is our Deliverance. He is not the means or the method of deliverance, but He IS Deliverance. If we want deliverance, we need God – but not an idea or the thought or the religion pertaining to God, but God Himself. We need God in our lives and we need to abide in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit to secure our deliverance and to walk in deliverance. Jesus is the Way of our Deliverance for He is the Truth and the Life. In this series, we explore what is true deliverance – pertaining to the spirit, soul and body. We look at the scope and nature of such deliverance.

The Realm of the Soul
We all need deliverance from such strongholds because pain, rejection, fear, guilt, shame, trauma or anger for example enslaves us. We all need deliverance from certain yokes and bondages, for even wrong mindsets and hurt can cripple us emotionally, and spiritually and can even lead to our bodies suffering sickness and ailments. Ultimately, no matter your pain, trauma, affliction, hurt, or oppression, it is a form of enslavement. God does not want us to be enslaved. He wants us to be free, liberated, restored and healed.
