Quotes about Spiritual warfare

Truth without grace is what the enemy brings when he comes as an 'angel of light.

Scriptures reveal that two acts occur continually before the throne of God—intercession and accusation. The conflict between these two is a focal point of the battle between the Kingdom of God and the kingdom of darkness.

To the degree that we abide in Him, Jesus will use us to intercede. For this reason, His Church is called to be a "house of prayer for all the nations" (Mark 11:17). Satan is called "the accuser of our brethren…who accuses them before our God day and night" (Rev. 12:10). To the degree that the enemy has access to our lives, he will use us to accuse and criticize the brethren.

In this passage, Jesus stated very clearly that Satan has a kingdom, and that it is not divided. Then He went on to speak about the kingdom of God: And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges. But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. (Matthew 12:27—28)

Cheap grace is the deadly enemy of our church. We are fighting today for costly grace.

The church can only defend its own space by fighting, not for space, but for the salvation of the world. Otherwise the church becomes a "religious society" that fights in its own interest and thus has ceased to be the church of God in the world.

The call to discipleship, or baptism in the name of Jesus Christ, means death and life. Christ's call, or baptism, means placing the Christian into a daily struggle against sin and the devil.
