The 3 Levels Of Spiritual Warfare
The 3 Levels of
Spiritual Warfare
2 Corinthians
2:11; Ephesians 1:19-22
REVIEW
There are various
offensive weapons we have as Christians. We discover how acts like praise
and Worship, prayer, the blood of Jesus can be a very powerful effective tool
for every Christian.
INTRODUCTION
In our lesson today we are going to consider
the various levels of warfare where we can apply the weapons we studied about
in our last lesson.
THE 3 LEVELS OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE
1.
THE HEAVENLIES: There are basically three heavens
namely the sky/ firmaments, the second heavens and the third heavens. Satan and
some of his heavenly demons reside in the seconds heavens where as God resides
in the third heaven. Whenever God sends answers to prayer request to his
children from his abode in the third heavens, Satan and his cohorts in the
second heavens can fight against it. We therefore have a duty to continue
praying and taking charge of the authorities in the heavens. Daniel 10:10-21,
Ephesians 2:2
Discussion.
Based on Daniel`s
example, how would you ensure that the forces of the air do not hinder answers
to your prayers?
2.
THE BELIEVERS MIND: Our mind is the place where most of
our personal battles go on. The bible teaches us to be hopeful, steadfast,
diligent etc in our walk with God; all these virtues are birthed and nurtured
in the mind.

Humble Beginnings, Praise And Patience
Scripture: Luke 2: 1- 35
Luke 2: 1 – 7
Our
Lord and King was born in a manger. That is a humble beginning. The Bible in
Job 8:7 says though your beginning be small your latter end shall be greatly
increased. God has a beginning for every one of us and he usually starts from
the very bottom and gradually takes us to the top. Therefore, it is important
that we do not despise where we are right now because we know that the Lord
will greatly increase our latter end. Phil. 2: 6 – 11.
Discuss
how believers can appreciated their present state while trust God for their
future greatness.
Luke 2: 8 – 20
The
company of angels appeared praising God. Likewise the shepherds gave glory to
God for Christ’s birth. It’s all about praising God.
