This week at All People, Pastor Larissa emphasizes the spiritual warfare believers face, likening it to a physical war that requires proper preparation and understanding. The core message highlights that while a "war has been waged against us," it has already been won by Jesus, yet many Christians remain "ignorant of the enemy's devices" and the "weapons of their warfare." She contrasts this unpreparedness with the importance of knowing God's character—that He is good and a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him—and actively resisting deception by discerning God's voice from other influences. She concludes by outlining nine spiritual weapons for this ongoing battle, including taking thoughts captive, leveraging love and joy, prioritizing God's promises, and establishing a "systematic set discourse" to respond to attacks with faith and patience.
