The Invisible Battle Every Christian Faces

Main message: Life involves a real, ongoing spiritual battle; believers should expect opposition from external evil forces and internal sinful desires rather than being surprised when they face struggle.

Key points:

• There is an invisible spiritual battle active in the world and in our lives.
• The Bible describes a personal evil figure—Satan—also called the opposer, accuser, or devil.
• Real demonic or evil forces work to bring pain and destruction.
• We also struggle against our own flesh and wrong desires.
• It's unhelpful to be surprised by conflict; struggle is to be expected.
