What does the Bible really teach about angels, demons, Satan, and spiritual warfare?
Are angels watching over Christians? What are cherubim and seraphim? What is the divine council? How is Satan working in the world today? And most importantly: How are Christians actually supposed to fight spiritual warfare?
In this episode, Joel Settecase explains the biblical doctrine of angels and demons from a Christian worldview.
We’ll look at:
• What angels actually do
• Cherubim, seraphim, messengers, and heavenly warriors
• The biblical divine council
• How angels participate in God’s plan of redemption
• Who Satan is and what he wants
• How the devil promotes false religion
• Satan’s use of temptation, lies, oppression, and persecution
• How Satan attacks the church
• God’s absolute sovereignty over the devil
• What demons are
• What spiritual warfare really means
• Why spiritual warfare is not primarily about dramatic “power encounters”
• The armor of God in Ephesians 6
• How evangelism and apologetics fight the kingdom of darkness
• Prayer, discipleship, forgiveness, and resisting the devil
• Why Christians can fight with confidence because Jesus Christ has already won
Many Christians think of spiritual warfare primarily in terms of demons, exorcisms, curses, and supernatural confrontations. But Scripture presents a much bigger picture.
Christians wage spiritual warfare by proclaiming the Gospel, defending the Christian faith, destroying arguments raised against the knowledge of God, resisting Satan’s lies, making disciples, praying, and standing firm in the truth of Scripture.
The Think Institute equips Christians to understand, explain, and defend the Christian worldview through biblical theology, Christian apologetics, presuppositional apologetics, philosophy, evangelism, and discipleship.
If you want to grow in your understanding of the Bible, theology, apologetics, spiritual warfare, the supernatural realm, evangelism, and the Christian worldview, subscribe to The Think Institute.
The spiritual war is real.
But Jesus Christ has already won.
