Introduction

Spiritual WarfareSteve Gregg
In this discourse, Steve Gregg delves into the concept of spiritual warfare and emphasizes that victory cannot be attained without confronting the darkness within ourselves. He provides an analysis of Biblical teachings to suggest that Christians play a critical role in stemming the tide of demonic power and eliminating human representatives of such systems. Further, he extrapolates from scriptural accounts of the war in the heavenlies, casting Michael the archangel and his forces against Satan and his followers, to highlight the importance of Christ's sacrifice in ultimately securing victory against the forces of darkness.
