Understanding Spiritual Warfare and the Holy Spirit: Part 2 - Scripture in Black and White

Welcome to part two of our series on the spiritual life and the demonic in 'Scripture in Black and White.' In this episode, we dive into the New Testament's teachings on walking in the Holy Spirit, identifying God's voice, and the role of worship in spiritual growth. We also explore the nature of spiritual warfare, discerning demonic influences, and the authority Christians have through Jesus Christ to battle these forces. Finally, we discuss the nuanced relationship between mental illness and demonic influence, and address viewer questions on these complex topics.
