If you speak of spiritual warfare to most, they will say it doesn't exists. Or, they will just view it as a superstition or spooky notion. In Larry Richard's book, Spiritual Warfare Jesus' Way, he starts with the invisible war that goes on around us daily and walks you through the door that Adam and Eve opened to evil in our lives. When you read the Bible, we rush through the three temptations of Jesus, but there is really a lesson to learn and use in life now. You will think differently about the crazy things in the news you see when people say, "the devil made me do it".
The fact that Mr. Richard's gives us "The Jesus Model", as well as tools for deliverance makes it a great resource to accompany the Bible. We already have the "Sword" - which is the Word of God, but we forget and overwhelmed in our immediate circumstances to believe that we can defeat the enemies that surround us. The book shows you how to prepare for spiritual warfare by:
understanding God's Word;
trust God's motives;
not acting independently of God's leading;
being guided by God's Word rather than by our culture's idea of what is "good";
being confident that God is present, no matter how difficult our circumstances. (Richard, p.54)
I recommend this book to anyone ready to defeat the demons that terrorize us daily. If we have the "Sword of the Spirit", why not understand it and use it wisely?
