    About this ebook

    If God be for us, who can be against us?



    Spiritual warfare is real, and it is all around us. As Christians, we have been equipped with the only weapon that can defeat our enemy: the Word of God. We must study Scripture to learn as much as we can about our enemy, the devil, and be diligent to guard our hearts, minds and tongues against his attempts to keep us discouraged and defeated.

    Kathleen Nelson provides the tools that will help you learn to use the Word--your sword--to engage in successful spiritual warfare against the devil. Spiritual Warfare will inspire you to walk in the authority of Christ, knowing that He has already won the victory. You are an overcomer covered by the blood of Jesus. Be prepared to engage in battle and win!

      Spiritual Warfare - Kathleen Nelson

      I have had the privilege of knowing Kathleen Nelson for quite some time. I have witnessed her life during the good times and the bad. She has been a student of God’s Word her entire life. Her knowledge of the Bible and the experiences of life qualify her to write this book on spiritual warfare. Kathleen’s first response to trials is to pray and seek guidance from the Holy Spirit. She and her late husband Eddy have been dear friends and great workers in the church for Christ. With great enthusiasm I recommend this book to help you through the storms and trials of life. The doctrine is pure Bible as well as Kathleen’s heart. Get ready to receive help in your warfare.

      —PASTOR ALLEN GREGORY

      CORNERSTONE ASSEMBLY OF GOD

      ROWLETT, TEXAS

      Kathleen Nelson is gifted writer and well-grounded student of the Bible. Her efforts in writing Spiritual Warfare were gleaned over many years of being an active warrior in the kingdom of God. There is no doubt in my mind that the reader will be better educated and equipped to handle the attacks of the enemy wherever or whenever they happen. Few books today are written with such clarity for the ordinary Christian who is going through the various battles in their life. I sincerely believe Spiritual Warfare will change your life!

      Chapter One

      THE ETERNAL PAST

      THE ETERNAL GOD

      IN THE BEGINNING God… (Gen. 1:1). God was not created; He is the Creator. Psalm 90:2 reads: Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. (Everlasting to everlasting could read, From eternity past to eternity future.") God has always been and God will always be God. He has no beginning and no end. God was before time began. God started time.

      Now, let us start at the beginning of Genesis 1:1 and go a little further: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Between the first and second verses of Genesis 1 there were other events that took place that are still affecting us today. Before we can understand spiritual warfare we need to go back and study something that happened so long ago that we do not even know the date of the event. It took place in the eternal past before time began.

      This event is not found in one place in the Bible but is told by several writers in different books of the Bible. In order to understand what took place in the eternal past that is still affecting us today and brought on spiritual warfare, we will study the Scriptures.

      GOD CREATED THE HEAVENS

      AND THE HOSTS (ANGELS)

      The heavens were created by God:

      [God] that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in.

      —ISAIAH 40:22

      Thus said God the Lord, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out.

      —ISAIAH 42:5

      I am the Lord that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone.

      —ISAIAH 44:24

      For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens.

      —ISAIAH 45:18

      That by the word of God the heavens were of old.

      —2 PETER 3:5

      God created the hosts (angels and the heavenly creatures).

      I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.

      —ISAIAH 45:12

      By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

      —PSALMS 33:6

      For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things [eternal], and by him all things consist.

      —COLOSSIANS 1:16–17

      And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever [eternal God], who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are.

      —REVELATION 10:6

      It is established that God always was and always will be (eternal); He is the Creator of all things in heaven and on the earth and without Him nothing was formed. (Create means to make something out of nothing or to bring something into existence.) God created all things including angels.

      Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them [angels].

      —GENESIS 2:1, EMPHASIS ADDED

      Angels, like mankind, were created eternal beings and will live or exist somewhere forever.

      In the next section we will look at three of the angels mentioned by name and then we will study one of them closely, because through this angel sin entered the world and brought on spiritual warfare.

      THE FOUR ARCHANGELS

      The Bible only mentions four angels by name. In this section we will take a closer look at three of the angels mentioned in order to get the big picture of angels and some of their responsibilities. The angels mentioned are called archangels, which means chiefs. They were over other angels and performed certain duties. God is also the God of order. God does everything in an orderly fashion, and as with man, He established order in the heavens.

      There are many, many angels. The three we will talk about are
