Ch.39 - Spiritual Warfare

   And the Missionary Task
Introduction – New Practices
• The question is whether they are biblical
• Concepts of
  – Territorial Spirits
  – Spiritual Mapping
  – Strategic-level Prayer
• Spiritual Warfare means different things to
  different people
  – Daily personal struggle
  – Exorcism
Spritual Warfare
• This chapter, without presuming the truth
  of an of these practices, will use spiritual
  warfare to mean all of:
  – Exorcism
  – Resistance to Satan
  – Dealing w/ territorial spirits
  – Spiritual mapping
  – Binding Satan
Beneficial Insights
• Has stimulated vigorous evangelism
• Combines evangelism and prayer
• Provides direction for approaching difficult
  locations
• Stimulates creativity and imagination in
  reaching out to the lost
Questionable Emphases

That can discourage Christians in
      difficult circumstances
Excessive Triumphalism
 • Christ’s Spirit does move in response
   to prayer in ways that may bring large
   numbers into the Kingdom
 • Overemphasizing this can obscure a
   proper understanding of the place of
   the cross and of suffering
 • It can easily be used to imply that a
   missionary is to blame if their labor in a
   hard field of service brings no early fruit
Confusion over Reality
• Dt.32:17,21,39 - OT doesn’t declare
  Canaanite gods to be real
• Mt.4:8-10 - Satan claims to rule the
  nations, but Jesus doesn’t affirm this
• Daniel 10:2-21 – the identity of the
  Prince of Persia is ambiguous
• Col.1:15-17 – NT emphasizes Christ’s
  supremacy over all creation
• A wrong focus can foster fear in us
An Overemphasis on Power
       Evangelism
 • The miraculous can advance the
   evangelistic task (John Wimber), but
 • The gospel is powerful in and of itself;
   conversion of a soul is a miracle of God
 • God is sovereign and is free to use
   whatever means he chooses to
   advance His Kingdom
 • Not every power encounter evoked faith
The Lack of a Biblical Foundation
Many in the Spiritual Warfare Movement
• Assume a biblical foundation that is not there
• Teach prayer practices that distort the biblical
  nature of prayer
• Promote an inadequate view of the fallenness
  of man and of man’s responsibility for his own
  rebellious heart
• Teach practices such as interrogating
  demons for which there is no biblical
  precedent
An Unhealthy Interest in Satan
     Focus:
     • Satan or finished work of Christ
     • The power and work of Satan and
       demons or the work of the Holy
       Spirit and God’s angels
     • Feed Satan’s arrogance and pride
       by giving attention or give the
       glory to God in praise and
       worship
Can a Christian be Possessed
   • The term gives a mis-impression of
     ownership by Satan rather than influence
   • All can be tempted, harassed, influenced,
     etc – so a Christian can be demonized
   • Few people are influenced to the extent
     of the Gadarene demoniac
   • The Bible gives strong instruction on how
     to resist: Gal.6:10-20; Mt.4:1-11;
     Eph.1:13-14

Ch.39 spiritual warfare

  • 1. Ch.39 - Spiritual Warfare And the Missionary Task
  • 2. Introduction – New Practices • The question is whether they are biblical • Concepts of – Territorial Spirits – Spiritual Mapping – Strategic-level Prayer • Spiritual Warfare means different things to different people – Daily personal struggle – Exorcism
  • 3. Spritual Warfare • This chapter, without presuming the truth of an of these practices, will use spiritual warfare to mean all of: – Exorcism – Resistance to Satan – Dealing w/ territorial spirits – Spiritual mapping – Binding Satan
  • 4. Beneficial Insights • Has stimulated vigorous evangelism • Combines evangelism and prayer • Provides direction for approaching difficult locations • Stimulates creativity and imagination in reaching out to the lost
  • 5. Questionable Emphases That can discourage Christians in difficult circumstances
  • 6. Excessive Triumphalism • Christ’s Spirit does move in response to prayer in ways that may bring large numbers into the Kingdom • Overemphasizing this can obscure a proper understanding of the place of the cross and of suffering • It can easily be used to imply that a missionary is to blame if their labor in a hard field of service brings no early fruit
  • 7. Confusion over Reality • Dt.32:17,21,39 - OT doesn’t declare Canaanite gods to be real • Mt.4:8-10 - Satan claims to rule the nations, but Jesus doesn’t affirm this • Daniel 10:2-21 – the identity of the Prince of Persia is ambiguous • Col.1:15-17 – NT emphasizes Christ’s supremacy over all creation • A wrong focus can foster fear in us
  • 8. An Overemphasis on Power Evangelism • The miraculous can advance the evangelistic task (John Wimber), but • The gospel is powerful in and of itself; conversion of a soul is a miracle of God • God is sovereign and is free to use whatever means he chooses to advance His Kingdom • Not every power encounter evoked faith
  • 9. The Lack of a Biblical Foundation Many in the Spiritual Warfare Movement • Assume a biblical foundation that is not there • Teach prayer practices that distort the biblical nature of prayer • Promote an inadequate view of the fallenness of man and of man’s responsibility for his own rebellious heart • Teach practices such as interrogating demons for which there is no biblical precedent
  • 10. An Unhealthy Interest in Satan Focus: • Satan or finished work of Christ • The power and work of Satan and demons or the work of the Holy Spirit and God’s angels • Feed Satan’s arrogance and pride by giving attention or give the glory to God in praise and worship
  • 11. Can a Christian be Possessed • The term gives a mis-impression of ownership by Satan rather than influence • All can be tempted, harassed, influenced, etc – so a Christian can be demonized • Few people are influenced to the extent of the Gadarene demoniac • The Bible gives strong instruction on how to resist: Gal.6:10-20; Mt.4:1-11; Eph.1:13-14
