Common MisconceptionsAbout the SPIRIT REALM7

• is spiritual warfare an old testament concept?

• do Christians need to understand and engage the demonic realm today?

• many believers are deceived about the present day reality

The War Is Over, So There Is No Need To Fight.

FACT: Many NT scriptures about battling(Eph 6:10-11, James 4:6, 1 Pet 5:8-9)1

Demons Have No Power You Except What You Give Them

FACT: We have authority, but demons still have power2

Deliverance Ministry Is Not Necessary For Christians

Fact: We only pray deliverance for Christians3

God Will Fight Your Spiritual Battles For You.

Fact: "The battle is the Lord's" appears twice in Scripture (OT)4

God Will Fight Your Spiritual Battles For You.

Fact: Many more scriptures in the NT implore us to drive out,

discern, bind and resist demons4

Christians are in danger when they deal with demons.

5 Fact: We have power and authority, but need knowledge and training.

You need to be wary of demons jumping on you.

6 Fact: They need an open door to enter; we should not be afraid.

7 Fact: That scripture does not apply here! Talks about being yoked with unbelievers.Fact: Satan entered into God's presence (Job). Fact: Jesus stood before demonized people and called the demons out

Demons have to flee in the presence of God (Reference:2 Cor. 6:14)2 Cor: 6:14 – “Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?“

There are more than 7, but this is a good start

Ignorance is not bliss (Hosea 4:6); God's people perish

We have been given all that we need (2 Peter 1:3)

Commit to becoming knowledgeable and wise about

the enemy of your soul

Jesus has won the victory but believers must often take back

what the enemy has stolen

Can't get freedom alone? Get competent Christian
