Can any of you share your experiences in Spiritual Warfare or dealing with territorial spirits?

Please let's not turn this into a contraversial thread.

You risk being labelled charismatic when you talk about spiritual warfare and territorial spirits. Remember the meat of the Word is a dress code and God is One.

Sister. I am very much oneness and very much conservative holiness and I completely believe in spiritual warfare, territoriall spirits and the gifts and operation of the spirit. I know there are others that do too, I was just wondering if they could share their experiences.

I never really learned much about any of this while we were in UPC, but started researching it after reading Peretti's books back in the early 80's. It opened my eyes to so much that I had never seen before about spiritual warfare. I was amazed that I had never been taught any of this stuff in my life! I definitely believe there are territorial spirits that reign in certain areas (towns; states; countries). I know what some of the prevailing things in our area are, and we fight them all the time. I believe that God can give us an open heaven though, but it takes much prayer!

I think where I live there is a demon of religious tradition running around ,cause most people here are happy their name is on a church role, they 're not really interesting in reading the Bible for themselves.

I did...I started with Daniel...Then I heard a story about the church Chester Wright pastors that they had a demon possessed man come in and the demon cried out that he was the prince of Anapolis

Something similar happened to my husband. A demon told him his name and said that he was the prince of that particular area. He (the evil spirit) also told my husband that he was going to kill the pastor of that church. My husband told him he was a liar - that he wasn't going to kill anyone. That Jesus had taken the keys of life and death.

It was quite the experience. There were a number of demons cast out of that man and within a year that church experienced a major revival and growth.

Speaking of praying and fasting which has been the topic of a few threads lately ..... my husband had felt led to fast a number of days before this event took place. After, he understood why he had felt impressed to fast.

"This kind" cometh not out except by prayer and fasting", is what Jesus said in regard to some of these situations.

Sometimes there is more than one prince.It depends.Have you read Sister Deborah Randalls books on Spiritual warfare? I learned alot from her when they pastored us.
