Ep. 10 Covenant Warfare

Deuteronomy 21:15-17. Spiritual warfare is a daily part of life. This, however, is usually engaged with a narrow point of view from what history defines as war. Spiritual warfare is as hostile as you’d expect war to be. There is an imposing force setting itself against the kingdom of God and His citizens. This is seen in the descendancy of Isaac and Ishmael, two brothers claiming rights to the land, an inheritance and its possessions. What are the legal proceedings of spiritual warfare? What is inherently yours, and what needs to be taken? This episode explores the legal distinction when engaging spirits in everyday life. Jesus, the firstborn of all creation coming to redeem, fulfill, and take possession of the land. Spiritual Warfare is biproduct of sin, and a reflection of disbelief in the word of God. Abram was told he would receive an heir who will inherit "the great reward" the presence of God after denouncing material possessions. Yet, he was unfaithful to the promise of God, and conceived Ishmael, likewise our doubt conceives situations that call for warfare. Your every spiritual struggle is tied to a material wanting (your heart), yet the righteous will live by faith. Where does your practice of faith begin in this material world? How do we approach a life holiness while living amidst a sin filled world? You fight!
