What I have learned about Spiritual Warfare ~  Be wise as serpents yet innocent as doves. ~ Matthew 10:16 As a Christian I am ashamed to say this...but at times, we can be very foolish to learn the truth about fighting unseen forces.  The sobering truth is that there is a war going on for your very soul.  The forces of light and the forces of darkness in the invisible sphere around us are fighting on a spirit-to-spirit level. I really wish I had known that at an early level in Christ.  I just could not fathom or grasp my true identity and my God-given authority as a soldier of the King... I have had to learn some very hard lessons since 1982...I can remember being very naive about the spiritual realm.

INTRODUCTION

 INTRODUCTION "From Recovery to Freedom," was a book I had published in 2018.  It was all about my testimony and freedom from Paranoid Schizophrenia.  In the book, I wrote on mental illness from one biblical standpoint.  I would like to revisit that book and let readers know how I am doing now.  Maybe even going deeper into the chapters of the book.   My writing/blogging has changed though, I am not as focused on spiritual warfare like I was back then.  Those truths have given me a firm foundation.  My relationship with God is deeper and richer now. I love to spend time with Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit. I love listening to worship plus read and memorize the holy scriptures, and of course writing. I don't have a fanatic testimony since writing that book...I went through a divorce and another hospital stay. But God has still moved in profound ways solidifying his love and pouring grace back into my life.  I still have bouts with depression and anxiety, but no
