Spiritual Warfare

I have been listening to a bunch of podcasts at work this week.  Most of these have been Mark Driscol in Seattle.  I decided to include his series on spiritual warfare this time.  As many of you may know I am the world's biggest scaredy cat, so making this decision was kind of a big deal.  For my whole life, just hearing stories of people's encounters with evil spirits has terrified me (with the aid of my imagination) especially when alone, or in the dark.  So the morning after listening to the 1st of 4 teachings, I couldn't even get through getting ready for work without going back to our bedroom for the comfort of Luke.  However, I continued the series at work that morning...I was super jumpy, but I realized a few things.  Our God is Great and Powerful!!  Though I have always known this, and prayed it when frightened, this series really made it sink in.  Understanding more about the devil and his demons helped me to understand the Goodness, Grace, Mercy, Power, Love, and so many more attributes of our Fantastic God.  I learned a lot, there are frightening stories, but there are also so many great teachings in this series.  It helps lead to repentance, as most good bible teaching does.  I suggest it greatly (as long as you're not living alone)  ;)
