The subject of Spiritual Warfare must become common place if unsuspecting souls are to avoid major disaster in the mind of this author. Presently and at best this subject is designated peripheral and perhaps trivial and at worst hardly mentioned or dismissed as irrelevant. This book presents a biblical view of this important subject with the thesis and conclusion that it deserves greater prominence in the life of every living soul. This is because there are other crucial teachings tied so intricately to what effects all people like that of faith, apostasy and perseverance. While one could argue faith and apostasy are only matters for those who are religious everyone recognizes the need to persevere through life. And people of faith realize the need to endure to attain life. The emphasis of this author and those who have gone before him see good cause to review this topic of Spiritual Warfare and consider carefully whether it belongs in a daily practical sense with the essentials of the Christian faith. Essentials have always been recognized as beliefs that effect ones salvation or eternal well-being.
The Bible from beginning to end addresses a people who must battle to receive a portion and inheritance promised by God. It is to those whom He calls to Himself and who show themselves to be His chosen people that He designates overcomers'. The Scripture breaks down the whole of the human race into two major groups of people variously defined. The seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent are the children of God and those of the devil. The former are attacked by the latter and their only means of true spiritual defense is to trust the Lord and live out the will of God. This activity not only sifts and seals the destiny of those, who do so and those who deny God, in the respective categories previously stated but this warfare shapes and distinguishes those worthy of a heavenly inheritance and an everlasting reward. The author endeavors to present a compelling case that Spiritual Warfare is intricately tied to the soul's eternal destiny and thus deserves greater ascendancy in Christian teaching. He claims because of its practical influence towards integrity and eternal salvation or its neglect to hypocrisy and Hell's unending fire. Character matters and what one believes about eternity, spiritual battles and the devil's part in the world pertaining to those things will find this book a true help.
