As Christians, we never want Satan to break through our defenses and take up residency inside of us. We never want Satan to get inside and disrupt the plan of God in our lives. But what if he is already in? What if we put up the shield too late or didn’t pick up our armor when we should have? Taking a preventative solution against diseases doesn’t really work when the disease has already done its damage. We must be proactive. It wouldn’t do us any good to talk about spiritual warfare without talking about deliverance.

There are lots of people today that would rather deny that demonic possession even exists. What they don’t think exists, they don’t have to deal with. They feel that there is so much confusion and controversy surrounding the subject they just try to avoid it all together.

The first thing we have to determine is whether deliverance ministry is valid – especially if it is valid for today.

As Christians, being like Christ means imitating His actions, teachings, and characteristics. Therefore, if one of the defining characteristics of a Christian is to be like Christ, it follows that deliverance is still valid for us today. Just as Jesus consistently set people free from spiritual bondage, Christians are called to follow His example and participate in the ministry of deliverance, praying for and assisting in the freedom of those oppressed by evil spirits.

Why is being mindful of God’s presence so critical? The answer is very simple. If you forget God is there, you won’t talk to Him.

When we fail to focus on God's presence, it becomes easy for us to neglect prayer and rely solely on our own strength and abilities. In our self-sufficiency, we often forget the importance of seeking God's guidance and intervention in our lives. This can lead us down a path of isolation, stress, and limited perspective.

When our thoughts and focus veer away from acknowledging God's presence, our lives quickly follow suit. We find ourselves relying on our own wisdom, facing challenges alone, and succumbing to anxiety and worry. We may even question whether God is truly there for us.
However, when we become aware of God's presence and recognize His unfailing love for us, our perspective changes. We realize that we have the privilege to talk to Him, to share our joys, fears, and desires. We understand that even in the most challenging times, we have a loving and caring God who is ready to listen and respond.
This week on Connecting the Gap we continue our study on The Battle Within - Overcoming the Invisible War. This is our extensive study on spiritual warfare. Our website is www.connectingthegap.net. Also be sure to visit our sponsors website at wearewarriorsapparel.com.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer once said, “the deceit, the lie of the devil, consist of this: that he wishes to make man believe that he can live without God’s word.” But in all reality, that is living with no authority.

In the Roman Empire, soldiers held a position of authority and were known for their strength, discipline, and allegiance to the state. They were tasked with maintaining law and order, defending the empire, and enforcing the will of the ruling authorities. Roman soldiers were equipped not only with skill and training in hand-to-hand combat, but also with specific tools, one of which was the sword.

The sword was more than just a weapon. It symbolized the soldier's authority and ability to enforce the laws and orders of the empire. It represented the might of the Roman government and its reach in maintaining peace and subduing rebellion. The very presence of a soldier carrying a sword was often enough to discourage opposition or defiance.

Drawing from this context, we see a parallel connection to the spiritual world. In Ephesians 6:17, the "sword of the Spirit" is mentioned as a key component of the Christian's armor. This figurative sword is actually the Word of God, the Bible. In the same way that a Roman soldier's sword was a symbol of authority and power, the Word of God holds authority and power in the spiritual realm.

This week we discuss how we need the Word of God to defeat Satan and his demonic forces. We also talk about the two different Greek terms that are often used in the Bible, "logos and rhema". What do those terms mean in association with God's Word and how we live using it as a weapon? There is a distinct difference.

“The spiritual battle, the loss of victory, is always in the thought world.” That is a quote from Francis Shaeffer.

In our fast-paced, microwave popcorn society, it is increasingly evident that there is a relentless and ongoing battle for our minds. This battle, however, extends beyond the reality of external influences such as advertising, social media, the woke society we increasingly have to deal with, or the problems and emergencies life throws at us every day. It dives into a deeper dimension—a spiritual one that often goes unnoticed or ignored.

This spiritual battle manifests itself in various ways throughout our daily lives. It can be seen in the constant stream of distractions and temptations that seek to divert our attention from what truly matters. It can be observed in the inner turmoil that arises from conflicting values, desires, and motivations. It can even be felt when we face challenges or adversity that test our resilience, faith, and character.

To navigate this battle, it is crucial to cultivate awareness and discernment. We must strive to recognize the influences that seek to manipulate or control our minds and consciously choose what we expose ourselves to. This involves critically evaluating the information we consume, questioning its sources and intentions, and being mindful of its potential impact on our thoughts and beliefs. Satan loves to package up a bag of doodoo and serve it as a lamb chop.

So, what makes you panic?

For the most part, I am pretty levelheaded. It takes a lot to stir me up. I’ll tell you what makes me panic. Getting into situations I can’t control makes me panic! If I am swimming and I get too far out from the shore (I’m not a very strong swimmer), I can panic if I’m not careful and worry I won’t make it back. Especially if the tide is pulling me out. I don’t do cliff diving or diving boards. I can’t control myself while I am in midflight so that makes me panic while I’m gliding through the air! I can lead small groups but put me in front of a huge crowd of people with all eyes on me for a speech, well, I’m probably going to panic! I may stumble my way through it, but it might not be pretty!

Fear grips me, panic sets in, and life can become a ball of uncontrolled anxiety.

What was happening at those moments?

What about you? What makes you panic? 
Sometimes we can lose our grip on life due to panic and Satan will take advantage of it most every time.

Join us this week as we navigate this subject and talk about ways we can overcome that issue in our lives. We also find parallels in the biblical story of Elijah's descent into despair. Elijah's journey reminds us that peace can be found even in the darkest of times, through faith and the presence of God. This episode highlights not only his personal turmoil but how his story resonates with our own battles against hopelessness. In your moments of overwhelming battles, remember that you are not alone, and strength can be found through spiritual community and the reassurance of God's nearness.

There you will find links for a bookstore with resources we have used here on the podcast, our official merch link is there, and also a link on how to be saved and come to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
