Below is the concluding Q&A session on spiritual warfare. The overall learning from this for me is a new perspective and a better biblical basis for understanding what the Christian life is and how it is played out, specifically in the context of spirituality--good and bad alike. So many people these days talk about spirituality as if it's a completely positive thing to be "spiritual." I think we often forget that there are good spirits (angels that love God), but also there are bad spirits (angels that hate God) that are in rebellion against God but sometimes emulate their leader Satan by "[masquerading as angels] of light," (2 Corinthians 11:14) and can be very deceptive. It is vital that discernment is practiced and grown by constantly "[testing] the spirits," as the Apostle John commands (1 John 4:1-4).
