Spiritual warfare is a all out war between the forces of God and the forces of anti-christ, led by one of God’s created angelic beings named Lucifer. He is more commonly known to us as satan or the devil. Satan is derived, from the Hebrew word, meaning opponent. The word devil, in the Greek, is translated accuser or slanderer. His main objective, as it is related to mankind, is to accuse God’s people as he did in the book of Job. Whenever God’s children stumble and fall, or sin against God, satan accuses them before God’s throne.
     There are two important things we must understand about satan, which will help us deal with his wiles.
(1) His pride and arrogance make him think he can really be like God.
(2) He has an intense jealousy and hatred for mankind because of the great love and the plan of salvation, which has been offered to mankind, but not to fallen angels. Jesus Christ made all this possible when He stole the keys of death, hell and the grave from the devil.
 
     “For though we live in this world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have  divine  power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”

(2 Corinthians 1:3-5)
      
   Spiritual warfare is a reality of the Christian life, but remember, although we may lose some battles, we have the final victory! Since the devil has nothing to lose, he will take as many people as he can down his path of mass destruction. When the devil succeeds in doing this, God  hurts, like a parent does over losing a child. This sort of hatred is very much in keeping with the devil’s character. Satan is a leech: he is so lacking in life, that the only life he has left is, what he can suck out of the living.

      The very first thing you will need to know is that satan, his demons, and all of their supernatural powers have been totally defeated by Jesus, when He died on the cross and rose the third day, for all of our sins. Here are extremely, powerful verses that you will need to have underneath your belt, if you are ever forced to deal with any kind of a direct, demonic attack either against yourself or anyone else you may know. Demons hate, and I mean hate, every single one  of  these  verses, as they are all a constant reminder to the fact, that  satan and his army of demons are all defeated. These verses also remind satan, that he has no chance against any true, born-again Christian, who knows who they really are in JESUS CHRIST, how to yield the Sword of the Holy Spirit, and how to walk, with the anointing, that God has given them.
