Reason #6

You Will Learn About Spiritual Warfare and How to Have Victory Over a Spiritual Enemy Who is Playing for Keeps.

In point 4, I mentioned demons and angels. Demonic spirits do have an impact and influence on the daily lives of people. If you are completely opposed to the notion of there being a demonic realm then this might be a true valid reason for you not to consider Christian counseling.

The bible teaches that Jesus won the victory over Satan and his demonic horde on the cross. We know that Satan was a created being, a powerful angel, who led a rebellion against God and was cast out of heaven to earth. Most people, even those with little or no theological background, are absolutely convinced of the reality of the demonic realm. They may differ on their views of God and heaven, but there is common agreement that demons are here, that they are evil and they are at work in the affairs of men

One of the reasons Jesus came was to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8), When He died on the cross and rose again, he defeated the powers of darkness. Many people misunderstand the present day reality of that powerful event over two thousand years ago. The spiritual enemy of our soul (and his hordes) was defeated however the battles continue here on earth to this day!

How can this be?

A modern day analogy is the D-Day invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944. War historians acknowledge that the ultimate victory was secured on that day however it took almost a year of fighting until the hostilities ended.

In like manner, there is a spiritual enemy, the demonic realm, which is still actively seeking to kill, steal and destroy today. You will learn about the nature of this warfare, how the enemy uses our minds against us and will constantly remind us of our past. More importantly, you will learn how to wage warfare victoriously!

At Above & Beyond we believe that the ministry of deliverance (or the driving out of demons) is a viable present activity that Christians should be doing and many are involved in it themselves!

Some denominations and Christian counselors discount that view and you may also. That is okay; you just need to know what you believe and research available Christian counselors to find one that is compatible with your needs and beliefs.
