Spiritual Warfare
Summary
We need to start by recognizing that we are in a war to understand the battle of spiritual warfare. Battles make up the broader representation with smaller components. By nature, the war between two people, between forces, between armies consists of any "extensive battle, conflict or disagreement" (Webster-Merriam). As Christians, we are waging some spiritual battle every day. Of different reasons and with varying degrees of intensity, battles are fought on various fronts in the war. The same goes for spiritual warfare. Our inner fights and wars are actual, but we can't see the enemy physically. But we can understand how the wars are waged and how they affect our lives every day. We may wonder, "Why do we even want to fight?" It won't help us to learn to fight if we don't see a reason to fight. War in the physical realm is very controversial today. Those views, values, and principles will be passed to the spiritual realm. Nevertheless, there is a war in the spiritual realm, irrespective of our belief. In this audiobook: Understand how the battle is fought by Satan. Actively use the armor of God. Find strength in prayer and sufficiency in Christ. Win over chemical, sexual, emotional, relational, and other strongholds. And much more

Summary
We all have doubts that challenge our faith. We wonder whether the Bible still matters, or whether God is truly as loving and personal as we hope. Everyday life can be demanding; it's easy to become distracted by so many things that seem important. But in order to lead a fulfilling life, you have to make time daily for what's most important - your relationship with God. A Christian must discipline oneself to live a distinctly Christian life. There are spiritual disciplines for godliness purposes. They don't save us, and they don't make God love us any more. They're the means that God uses to conform us to the image of Christ. "The desperate requirement today is not for a higher number of intelligent people, or gifted people, but deep people." (Richard J. Foster) What are the practices that might be considered spiritual disciplines? Spiritual disciplines are routines, practices, and experiences that are developed to establish, grow, and reinforce certain qualities of spirit and to develop the "muscles" of one's character and expand the breadth of one's inner life. They structure the "exercises" which train the soul. Some spiritual disciplines are personal, inward workouts that are practiced alone; others need social relationships and are practiced in the community. Spiritual disciplines are those personal and social activities given by God in the Bible as the adequate means to be used by believers in Jesus Christ in the pursuit of godliness, that is, closeness to Christ and conformity to Christ, filled with the Spirit.
