The Enemy’s Strategy: Why Your Marriage Is Being Targeted

So today, babe, this conversation we're going to be talking about, I think it's vital for every husband, every wife.

I mean, really, every family who wants to have a kingdom-minded marriage.

And I think this topic is probably one of the...

The most misunderstood topics, and I know we talk a lot about it here on the podcast because it's something that's really close to our heart because once we've seen it, we couldn't unsee it.

And it's about spiritual warfare.

And usually there's two sides of the house when you talk about spiritual warfare.

I mean, one people, man, they just ignore it completely.

Like they don't believe in the devil.

They don't believe in the spiritual world.

realm that is around us and they kind of take it from that approach well then there's

another kind of people that become super obsessed with spiritual warfare and just tell everybody that there's a demon lurking behind

every bush it's true it's true so today we're going to try to have a little more balanced approach to this um And really take scripture for what it is to help be our kind of our foundation and our rock.

Because we believe that God's word is true.

We believe that there's no mistakes in it.

And if God says that we can take it to the bank and that's the end of it, right? So that's what we're going to kind of use as our, not kind of, that's what we're going to use as our foundation as we have this conversation.

Yes.

And to be super balanced, like you said, we need to understand that the Bible does reveal that we have a real enemy, an adversary that's really coming up against all of our marriages, right? Because he hates anything that reminds anyone of God, that reflects God, right? And he specifically targets marriages as we see and we recognize.

That's why we do this podcast, because we know that he's coming at everybody's marriage.

But Scripture also reveals that there is a victorious Savior, right, whose authority is vastly greater than any principality, power, or any demonic scheme that is out there.

Babe, that is so true.

I love it.

And when Paul writes to the church of Ephesus in Ephesians 6, he says, He was writing to believers.

And I think sometimes we can kind of miss that as we look at scripture, that many times he's writing to believers ourselves.

In Ephesus, it was a city that was saturated with occultism.

Like they were all kind of messed up.
