The following outline, though incomplete, is one the Lord gave me several years ago, and which, I hope, will be a help and a blessing to you. I have decided to post the outline, regardless of its incompleteness, because I believe it’s important to have a complete understanding of spiritual warfare. Hope it’s a blessing for you!

"Steps to Freedom" in Jesus Christ
Posted by ProliferatingTruth on March 25, 2010
2 Corinthians 10:4-5 – "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ."
Introduction: The Christian life is not a playground. It is a battleground (Lester Roloff). And our enemy is a crafty adversary. One of his greatest tools is to convince Christians that he is not a threat. He minimizes sin and its effect until even believers are so tangled in it that they find themselves in spiritual bondage – they even begin to believe that they are not doing wrong.
Here is an illustration of a worldly Christian who has mixed-up values:

The Similarities Between Spiritual Warfare, and Physical Warfare
Posted by ProliferatingTruth on March 18, 2010
Ephesians 6:10-18 – "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints."

Bible Version Comparisons, Part 11: The Doctrine of Lucifer, or Satan
Posted by ProliferatingTruth on March 1, 2010
Isaiah 14:12 – “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!”
Revelation 22:16 – “I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.”
In the only passage which describes Lucifer’s iniquity and fall into hell, many new versions confuse his identity with that of Jesus Christ.
