Conquering Our Unseen Enemies
:Understanding Enemy Tactics and His Influence in Our Lives. This podcast will discuss how Satan's kingdom functions to create conflict, chaos and influences our decisions and outcomes when we don't even realize it. We will discuss his strategies and provide a deeper understanding to develop your discernment and eliminate his influence in your life. Since before the earth was formed, there was an unseen kingdom. At some point, that kingdom became divided when "Satan fell like lightning from Heaven", as described by Jesus in Luke 10:18. The division was a result of Satan wanting to ascend over God, Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 tells us the story. We know that the kingdom of Satan is highly organized and that he roams the earth looking for ways to influence our lives. In Job 1:6-7, we read of Satan doing just that, and we know his kingdom is organized because it came out of heaven and when he fell, so did the angels under him. The Kingdom of God is a kingdom of order, so the kingdom of Satan coming out of Heaven, would likewise be a kingdom of order. These two unseen kingdoms remain in continual conflict around us, but most are oblivious to what is happening and how it influences us in our daily lives. Paul gives us more insight in Ephesians 6:11-12, "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." We know these forces are still in conflict today because the final battles yet to come are revealed to us in the Book of Revelation beginning with Chapter 4.
