What does the Bible say about fighting spiritual battles?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that believers engage in spiritual warfare not with physical weapons, but through obedience to God and reliance on His promises.

Spiritual battles are a reality for believers, as highlighted in Ephesians 6:12, which states that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of evil. This sermon from Nehemiah emphasizes that, like the Jewish people rebuilding the wall, we too are called to engage in spiritual warfare. Nehemiah encouraged the builders to remember the Lord, which is a call for believers to rely on God's power as they fight against sin and spiritual opposition. Ephesians 2:10 reminds us that we are God's workmanship, created for good works, which aligns with our role in fighting these spiritual battles. Our victory is assured because God fights for us, and into the melee, we are sent equipped with the gospel, the sword of the Spirit, and prayer.
