Frequently Asked Questions

What does spiritual warfare look like practically?

It includes resisting temptation, combating lies with truth, praying against spiritual opposition, standing firm in faith during trials, and advancing God's kingdom despite resistance. It's fought primarily through prayer, Scripture, worship, and obedience — not through mystical rituals.

If Jesus already won, why do we still fight?

D-Day analogy: the decisive battle was won at the cross (D-Day), but mopping-up operations continue until Jesus returns (V-Day). The enemy is defeated but not yet fully removed. We fight from victory, not for victory. The outcome is certain.
