1 John 3:22

VIIISpiritual Warfare is Needed Against Satan and His Angels When the Affliction Is From The Evil Side.

born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him. We

know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the

wicked one.” 1John 5:18-19

B.We have power for spiritual warfare

“Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

  1. Command the evil spirits to leave
