Power Encounter 11: Resisting | Dr. Timothy Warner

Website: http://www.brministry.org
This class presents a comprehensive theological framework for understanding spiritual warfare as an active, ongoing conflict between the kingdom of God and the domain of darkness, grounded in Scripture and illustrated through real-life experiences. Central to the message is the conviction that Satan operates through deception, fear, unbelief, and emotional manipulation, exploiting human weaknesses such as unforgiveness, anger, and personality differences, while also engaging in direct demonic activity through curses, sorcery, and spiritual attachment to objects or places. The preacher emphasizes that believers must adopt a proactive, offensive posture—resisting evil not passively but by claiming God's truth, exercising faith, and actively reclaiming territory for Christ, as modeled in the conquest of Canaan and the ministry of Jesus and Paul. The sermon underscores that spiritual maturity requires engagement with these battles, not avoidance, and that God's power is released in response to faith and obedience, not human performance, with the ultimate goal of establishing God's kingdom through both proclamation and demonstrative power, particularly in mission contexts where such encounters are essential for transformation.
