Summary

Spiritual warfare is a topic that many "experts" have opinions on, but they often miss the mark. Some will tell you that you need to rebuke the Devil out of everything, others will tell you that you have the "spirit of 'this'" or the "spirit of 'that.'" Still, some people imagine spiritual warfare as the Devil showing up at the foot of their bed one night with a pitchfork, red horns, and a pointy tail saying, “Here I am to get you!” But he’s smarter than that, so are his demons, and they are much more subtle than that — in most cases. In this episode, Costi Hinn unpacks the truth about spiritual warfare from Scripture so you can ignore the hypothetical opinions and get clarity from God's word.
