Spiritual Warfare: Understanding the Battle Within

July 07, 2025 6 min read

Through Jesus's sacrifice, we are free children of God. His blood washed away our sins. Yet, our path isn't always smooth.

Even though we are free children of God's today due to the blood of the lamb, shedding his blood for our sins, Satan still has access us because if he didn't, people wouldn't be facing hardship today.

The fact that we still face troubles shows that Satan can reach us. If evil had no power over us, we wouldn't see people struggling so much. This truth helps us understand why life can be hard, even when we walk with God.

Life as a believer or not means dealing with both good and bad forces. While we are saved, we must stay alert to these spiritual battles that shape our daily lives.

Choosing Divine Guidance: The Role of the Bible

To have more good thoughts from angels in your life, you need to follow God's word. The Bible shows us the way.

In order for the honorable angels thoughts to be more prevalent in your life, you have to follow the things that God has written in the Holy Bible.

The Bible is our only guide.

There is no other way.

God gave us the Bible as our map for life. When we follow its teachings, we open our hearts to good spiritual influences. Without the Bible's guidance, we lose our way. It's that simple - the Bible is our key to staying on the right path.

Recognizing the Influence of Evil

When we don't follow God's word, dark thoughts take over. Let me explain how this works in our daily lives.

If you don't, then Satan's thoughts will be more prevalent.

You can spot Satan's influence by how it changes your actions. Here's what happens:

So, like, when Satan seeds is operating within you, you'll be quick to judge someone instead of not judging.

These bad thoughts push us to hurt others. They make us judge people quickly. They can even make us want to harm others.

And the only reason why that is so, is because Satan's seeds are operating within you, and the demon, the dishonorable angels, are giving you thoughts that have weight to it.

The root of these harmful urges comes from what we call "Satan's seed." This means the bad thoughts aren't just random - they come from evil spirits, or what we call dishonorable angels. These demons put thoughts in our minds that feel very real and strong.

When these thoughts come, they feel heavy and true. But we need to see them for what they are - the work of evil trying to guide our actions.

The Struggle Between Good and Evil Thoughts

In our minds, we face a daily battle between good and bad thoughts. It's not a simple fight.

And so when you have a good conscious thought, the honorable angel was always there to giving you the good thoughts. However, it's not strong enough to propel you to do the right thing because you have not been obedient to those thoughts.

Good angels try to guide us. They put helpful thoughts in our minds. But here's the hard truth - sometimes these good thoughts feel weak. Even when we know what's right, we might not have the power to do it.

Think of it like two voices in your head. The good voice is always there, giving kind and helpful ideas. But the bad thoughts can feel stronger. They have a weight to them that can pull us down.

This is why some people keep making choices they know are wrong. The good thoughts are there, but they're not always strong enough to help us choose right. It's like having a map but lacking the strength to follow it.

Real-Life Examples of Spiritual Influence

Let me share some real examples of how evil spirits can trap people in hard situations.

That's how the drug addicts remain a drug addict, for so long. That's how a homeless person remain a homeless person for so long. That's how people stay in relationships and remain in these bad relationships for so long. This is how you can remain in a state of depression for so long.

Think about people stuck in tough spots:

  • Drug addicts who can't break free
  • Homeless folks who stay on the streets
  • People trapped in bad relationships
  • Those fighting long battles with depression

These aren't just bad luck. Demons play a big role in keeping people stuck. They work to hold people down in these hard places. When someone stays stuck for a long time, evil spirits are behind it.

The demons make it hard to break free. They keep pushing people back into these tough spots. This is why some battles seem to go on and on. But knowing this truth is the first step to breaking free.

The Duality of Spiritual Companions

From the moment we're made, we each have two spiritual friends with us. Let me tell you what I've learned about this.

I've learned that all of us have a personal, honorable angel and also a demon that's attached to us from conception.

These spirits start working in our lives before we're even born. We can see their influence very early in life.

That's why when the kids turn two, they be like the terrible twos, you gotta keep spanking their hands or, pulling them away from doing things that, causes them harm.

When babies grow into toddlers, we see this spiritual battle play out. The "terrible twos" aren't just about kids being kids. It's about these two spirits at work. Parents have to keep stopping their little ones from doing harmful things. This is one of the first signs we see of this spiritual tug-of-war.

This helps us understand why even tiny children can show both good and bad behavior. From our very start, we have both an angel trying to guide us right and a demon trying to lead us wrong. These two spirits stay with us our whole lives, each trying to shape who we become.

Understanding the Nature of Demonic Influence

What we often brush off as just kids being curious, has a darker side. Let me explain what's really going on.

Some of us say it's curiosity, but when you look past that, that's that demon that is having that child go to get some bleach or, to put their hand on a hot stove and things like that. That's that demon, and this is how wicked that they are.

These evil spirits are very clever. They make dangerous ideas seem fun or interesting. They might push a child to:

  • Drink harmful things like bleach
  • Touch hot stoves
  • Do other risky things

The Bible warns us about this evil force.

It's written in the book of Matthew, saying that Satan is a man slayer and he is. He slays us ungodly.

The book of Matthew tells us straight - Satan wants to hurt people. He's called a "man slayer" because that's what he does. He tries to harm us in ungodly ways.

These aren't just scary stories. They show us how demons really work. They start small, making bad choices seem okay. But their goal is always to cause harm. Knowing this truth helps us stay safe and protect our kids.

Breaking Free: Overcoming Negative Spiritual Patterns

When you try to do good, you might still feel stuck. Here's why this happens.

Even after you do Satans will, you'll still be slaving, because now you have to deal with the thoughts of why did I do that? You know, like, if you're a perpetual cheater and not understanding how you can be a perpetual cheater, it's because your personal demon is right there propelling you through thoughts to continue to do what you're doing, so that you can bring harm to yourself and also others.

Let's break this down:

  • Even when you try to do right, bad thoughts can follow
  • These thoughts make you question your good choices
  • Personal demons keep pushing you toward harmful acts
  • The harm affects both you and others around you

Take the example of someone who keeps cheating. They might want to stop, but their personal demon keeps the bad pattern going. The demon's goal is simple - to cause hurt to you and the people in your life.
