Spiritual Warfare

An invitation to step into the story of a movement that began with a handful of ordinary people and grew into a force that reshaped history. The introduction traces the sweep of the book of Acts, the spread of the gospel through the Roman world, and the remarkable way God used both miracles and messiness to build His church. Listeners are reminded that the same Spirit who empowered the first believers continues His work today, calling the church to live with courage, unity, and unwavering devotion to Jesus.

The strength of the believer begins with a clear vision of Christ. This teaching lifts the veil on Jesus’ unmatched supremacy over creation, the spiritual realm, and every power of darkness. Far from a struggle between equal forces, spiritual warfare is rooted in the victory, authority, and preeminence of Christ, who holds all things together and rules as the exalted King. As believers grasp the greatness of Jesus, confidence rises and fear loses its hold.

Understanding the enemy’s character and strategies helps believers stand with wisdom and discernment. Scripture reveals Satan as a created, limited, and fallen being whose goals are to oppose God’s work, gain influence where he can, and distort truth through temptation, accusation, intimidation, and deception. This message exposes his tactics while keeping the focus on God’s greater power, reminding believers that awareness is not fear but preparation for victory.

Spiritual battles are fought best when believers know who they are and whose they are. This session unpacks the rich truths of salvation: being rescued from darkness, redeemed through Christ’s blood, forgiven, made new, adopted, reconciled, empowered, and sealed by the Spirit. These realities dismantle the enemy’s lies and establish believers in confidence, gratitude, and freedom. Identity becomes not an idea but a place to stand.

Victory in spiritual warfare comes through humility, dependence on God, and the daily choice to “put on” the armour He provides. This message walks through the pieces of the armour of God, showing how truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and the Word work together to defend, steady, and strengthen believers. Woven through the teaching is the reminder that we fight not in our own strength but in the Lord’s, clothed with what He supplies and grounded in His grace.

Spiritual battles are fought safely and effectively when believers understand the boundaries God has assigned to them. This message explores the biblical idea of “sphere of authority,” showing how stepping beyond God-given influence can open the door to harm, while walking within His assignment brings protection, clarity, and power. Through Scripture and practical examples, Allan urges believers to discern where God has positioned them and to operate with humility, obedience, and spiritual attentiveness.

Prayer becomes a place of rest rather than striving when believers learn to trust God’s promises and lean into the Spirit’s help. This teaching weaves Scripture with personal testimony, revealing how intercession, worship, perseverance, and even the gift of tongues strengthen believers for spiritual battle. As hearts draw near to God, prayer shifts from emotional effort to Spirit-led partnership, anchoring believers in His presence and releasing His power.

Temptation often begins with something small, but sin creates openings the enemy is quick to exploit. Through vivid illustrations and Scripture, this message shows how disobedience gives Satan footholds, while repentance and obedience close the door. Jesus’ sinlessness becomes the model and the foundation for understanding spiritual “legal rights,” helping believers see both the seriousness of compromise and the freedom found in walking closely with Him.

The demonic realm becomes less frightening and more understandable when viewed through Scripture rather than Hollywood. Allan explains what demons are, how they operate, and how Jesus confronted them with calm authority. He warns against both extremes—ignoring spiritual realities or obsessing over them—and emphasizes discernment, maturity, and confidence in Christ’s victory. Believers are reminded that deliverance rests not in human strength but in the authority of Jesus, the stronger One.

The final chapters of Revelation lift believers out of the struggle and into the hope of God’s ultimate victory. This message traces the downfall of evil, the return of Christ in glory, the marriage supper of the Lamb, the final judgment, and the renewal of all things. With the curse reversed and God dwelling with His people, the story ends in joy, justice, and restoration. These truths give courage in spiritual warfare, reminding believers that the battle is real, but the outcome is already secure.
