Spiritual Warfare takes place in ...

• In the World: The narrative of what will make you successful
• In the Flesh: Our selfish desires.
• And the Devil: demonic beings working through attachment to attack. 
  • Most common form in the Western world is accusation and deception.

Method of Attack 

• Have an assessment of things in your life (physical, emotional, relation, and demonic) 
  • Gerry listens for an accusing voice, an oppressive presence, and if one has had involvement in spiritualism and occultism.
• Understand your foundation and authority you have in Christ
  • You're in the kingdom of light (Colossians 1), not in the kingdom of darkness.
  • Jesus has disarmed the the demonic forces at the cross (Colossians 2), they have no authority over you.
• Act like Jesus  
  • Speak Scripture out loud.
  • Tells whatever it is to go away because you are a Son of the Most high God. 
• Focus 100% of your attention upon Jesus.
