This Means War: Understanding the Reality of Spiritual Warfare for Foster and Adoptive Parents

What do you think of when you hear the term spiritual warfare?When you said “yes” to foster care or adoption you agreed to step into something the enemy of our souls delighted to break and when you did,  the enemy said “this means war” Where there is declaration of war, especially when it comes to our families, we have no choice but to stand up, armor up and fight - but how? In today’s episode we are going to focus on the spiritual warfare adoptive and foster families face. We are going to talk about:Who is the enemy?What is his goal?What is his "why?"What are his tactics?What can we do?FAVORITE TAKEAWAYS:People experience spiritual warfare in a variety of ways - some are oblivious (especially if they are not a child of God yet) others brush it off as irrelevant and not a part of their daily life, others still blame satan for everything and don’t take the fair share of the credit for their own sin nature and sanctification process. The battle can be fierce at times but we know as believers that we have been given the authority and power in Jesus’ name to reject, rebuke and resist the enemy.
