Do you know what spiritual warfare is, and why it is it important?

Spiritual warfare is recomended for ONLY the ABSOLUTE IN FAITH!  Losing is not cool.  \nThe war is to Know the evil that you face and invoke the power over it! The pupose is to send them away and be unable to take another soul and or get one back from them or to prevent them from taking one.\nIf you have any doubts in your faith of the power to bind them......don't start.\nJust like the dogs they are... they can sense your fear and weaknesses and will cause you to doubt and or fear and thereby defeat you.

Jehovah's Witnesses are true Christians; they do *NOT* 'declare war' on anyone.\n\nTrue Christianity is unique in that it has no provision for its adherents to engage in warfare. Those ostensible "Christians" who do so ignore the Scriptures and the teachings and example of Jesus Christ himself.\n\n(Matthew 26:52) Jesus said to him: “Return your sword to its place, for all those who take the sword will perish by the sword\n\n(Isaiah 2:4) They will have to beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war anymore.\n\n(2 Corinthians 10:3-4) We do not wage warfare according to what we are in the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly\n\n(Luke 6:27-29) I [Jesus] say to you who are listening, Continue to love your enemies, to do good to those hating you, to bless those cursing you, to pray for those who are insulting you. To him that strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also\n\nLearn more:\nhttp://watchtower.org/library/g/2002/4/8/article_01.htm\nhttp://watchtower.org/library/t15/peaceful.htm

There is no passage in the bible saying we have guardian angels. It just says that there is spiritual warfare in the air at all times. Its the angels vs the Demons.

The human soul is life energy or your spirit or ghost. It is what animates you. I agree, there is a battle for most people, especially the devout religious. But the battle isn't external. It's internal.  Your mind creates it because it is searching for meaning in a meaningless world. You create a war of ideas (War of the Worlds) inside your head.  When you figure out your meaning, your battle subsides, and your battle becomes irrelevant.

Any war in the name of religion is a Holy War

I am Founder and Director of SWAT (Spiritual Warfare and Truth).\nI used to be a paranormal investigator. I formed a team years ago called SEWPI- Southeast Wisconsin Paranormal Investigations and dealt with this on a personal level and then with many clients who saw/experienced encounters with "shadow people".\nAs a teen, I started seeing "shadow people". I assumed they were ghosts, but ignored them because it was scary many times. As I got older, it got worse, seeing them turned to hearing, feeling, and other supernatural things occurring to me, no matter where I lived, or went.\nThen, I lived at a place that after 3 mos, noticed was very haunted. We're talking close to "Amityville Horror" type stuff! I had many friends, family and visitors who noticed/experienced things while at my house, even non-believers, and it got so bad, they wouldnt even come in any longer. I have the story and pics at:\nhttp://www.angelfire.com/wa3/parainvestud\nBut anyways, I began my own team who could help people who were experiencing this type of thing, and who wanted answers and help getting rid of it.\nIn my time in this field (which I still do, only time, experience, study and research has changed my views on the paranormal possibilities to supernatural realities\nhttp://www.srealities.com)\nI have come to know truths about them.\nThey are not ghosts like people view (and there are many views on them). But I have experience in this area, so I;m not replying off theories.\nBut these are demonic beings and are very dangerous.\nIf you or someone you are realted to or have been with when they did any of these things (list on following site):\nhttp://www.angelfire.com/wi3/sriinfo2\nThen chances are, you are seeing demonic beings.\nI didnt, and started ata young age. Come to find out, many years later, my mother and even grandmother did things like saw a psychic, did Tarot cards, took part in a seance, talked to spirits, etc...I never knew until years later. But point being, we often unknowingly call in evil forces/spirits, and even if we dont, and someone in our family (like parents or grandparents) or even friends who we've been with, have, then you are vulnerable and a possible target to these dark forces.\nSounds like TV, I know, but, I can give you plenty of people who have dealt with this (testimonies on our website).\nYou need to understand what they are and stop seeing them, because their presence can cause a lot of problems and harm- things you wouldnt think of. It is dangerous to you to see them (if you see them, they are around your life...)\nIf you have any other Q's, etc...please go to our website and email me- thats what I do!  :)\nI'll say a prayer for you :)\nHeidi

According to my bible it is to be war fought between Satan's demons and the Holy ones.\nOne that will almost anihalate mankind. "If god did not intervene, non would be saved"\nSurvival depends on your knowing and worshipping the true God / Jehovah...\nYes it's true, much of Revelation is symbolic, BUT NOT ALL.

The goal of my spirituality is to find the common truth that lies behind all the 'religions' of the world.\n\nI believe that a spark of that truth lies in every human being and that it is my duty to acknowledge it and seek it out through their questions, their needs, and their own sharing of life with me.

You know, chess is "the Game of War".  It is strategy.  Can you benefit from War?  The Bible says no.  There will come a day SOON when  "...he will certainly render judgment among the nations and set matters straight respecting many peoples. And they will have to beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war anymore. "\n\nThis is probably not the kind of answer you expected, but it could be the kind of answer you needed.

Given that so many wars have started, and continue because of religious beliefs, I would say religion is extremely important in society.  Anything that can evoke the kind of passion necessary to maintain the level of intensity needed to sustain a war is important.

You bet ya I do. That is the battle we are faced with daily. Ephesians says it best.\n\n Eph 6:11  Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. \nEph 6:12  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. \nEph 6:13  Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. \nEph 6:14  Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; \nEph 6:15  And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; \nEph 6:16  Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. \nEph 6:17  And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: \n\nThere is only one offensive weapon, the sword, which is the Word of God. But always have your shield of faith, which is Jesus Christ.

I understand your skepticism for things spiritual.  There is plenty to be skeptical of.  Coming from a background of spiritual warfare, (Christianity)what you describe is a demonic attack.  I would suggest you seek a pastor of a full gospel church.  There are plenty of good repute like Jack Hayford's Church on the Way.  Search for an affiliated church with a better reputation to find real help in this arena.  Some recommendations are Assembly of God, Calvary Chapel, Four Square, there are many others.

This is one of the those loose terms that anyone can define to mean whatever they want it to mean.\nDefine 'growth', for starters. Then define 'spiritual'.\nDo you have any particular religion in mind?

I agree. I believe this is where Bible reading, prayer and the Holy Spirit come in. The Bible reading will make you familiar with what doctrines churches should be teaching. Prayer will give to you wisdom, and the Holy Spirit can help you discern and understand, based on fact, what is going on. Good luck to ya!

There's no scripture to support this idea one way or another.  People are affected in different ways when in the spirit.  There was a man at my church who would run around the pews (admittedly it freaked me out a bit when he first did it) and a woman who would wail.  I think you'll find the most about the issue in Paul's stuff, but don't quote me on that.

What is battle cry? I have never heard of it before.\n\nHey, that's cool! It sounds kind of like YC over here. YC stands for Youth for Christ, and it's a youth outreach event. Christians are encouraged to bring friends to this event, in which live bands, preachers, and all-out worship are the focus! People are encouraged to worship God in any way that the Spirit leads them! Thousands of youth attend, and several get saved each year! It's an awesome event! I know how exciting these events can be, I always come back pumped up for God! I'm going this year, too! God bless!

I think religion is one of those "necessary evils".  I think many many wars could have been avoided without religion, but then the vast majority of people would not have any source of power to turn to in times of need.
