Spiritual Warfare is one of those areas that Christians often talk about but few fully understand. Many have heard about, but few engage with. For some it’s about screaming at the devil and rebuking everything that goes bump in the night. For others; Satan doesn’t exist so its not an issue. For many though it just doesn’t feature on our radar - we lead our lives through the situations we face and the decisions we make. We are naturally bound and the spiritual doesn’t feature from day to day. Yet the bible gives us a different picture - there is the physical and there is the natural and both exist in conjugation with each other, and the Spiritual although not seen with our physical eyes is more real than the natural. So we need to be a people who understand the Spiritual realm and how we are to wage war....

We all want to control, some of us to greater extent than others. The greater the fear, the greater the control; and there is a fine line between being organised, and getting stuff done, and walking in our gifting and Gods will and walking in control because we don’t trust Him.

I believe God wants to move in such a way that he births a new found sense of holiness and purity. That we flee from sin and pursue righteousness - sanctification. John Wesley believed that sinlessness through sanctification of the Spirit was possible for the believer. When our lives are completely devoted to him, then sin does not reign in our mortal bodies (Romans 6v12). Others believe this is blasphemous and not possible and may lead to apathy - yet the bible continues to urge us on. Even Paul wrote in Philippians 3 that he has not attained it yet or was not already perfected (that was in resurrection life), but he presses on to make it his goal, his aim, just as Christ has made him his own. If this was not possible, then why press on to make it possible. You and I are temples of the Holy Spirit - justified people, who can have the purity and utter holiness of God because of the blood of Jesus purging us from all sin - it is now time we walk in such a privileged and high calling…...
