Fighting Temptations With Spiritual Warfare

Whether you believe in it or not, every believer engages in spiritual warfare. Temptation is the enemy’s way of joining forces with sin in an attempt to destroy us. In this episode, we discuss our personal experiences with temptation post-salvation, encounters with God that changed our perspectives on spiritual warfare, and the role of faith in the battle against temptation.

I’ve been in the church my entire life, battled with a pornography addiction from the time I was 5 y/o and I have NEVER heard faith being a weapon to use against temptation. I set every boundary, did every prayer, and I still found myself falling back into cycles but God is showing me now that it’s by faith and it’s only ever been by faith in him. He has set me free. Thank you Jesus.

[@HealedByJesus20]

There’s a 40 day porn challenge (to free you from it) on the Bible app!! It helped me so much! I would take a look at it. I’m currently 5 months free of porn! The Lord has delivered me and I KNOW He will deliver you as well! Keep fighting! Keep praying and keep His living word in your heart/spirit! It gets easier!

[@DeliveranceIsReal]

For ten years, I suffered from chronic Lyme disease, arthritis, gallbladder issues and constant chronic pain. The doctors said I would not recover. I was in agony daily, and I watched others die around me with late stage diseases. Prayer healed me when medicine failed me. God fully healed my disease. When Jesus found me I got baptised and started following the bible. God gave me a new family. My life is full of meaning. My heart is full of gratitude. I want to love others and share his work. You are unique to God and you are special to Him. Today I am free from disease! I got married and I gave birth to a healthy baby. Don't listen to the people who hate and talk negatively. God is kind, patient and he loves you with an everlasting love. Seek the Lord while he may be found (Isaiah 55:6-9) Psalm 41:3 “The Lord sustains them on their sickbed and restores them from their bed of illness.” Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

I love what Jackie said about how when she hesitated on stealing it wasn't about guilt. It was just, "God has better for you."

[@Miss_DaniD]

That was conviction.

[@loria287]

This episode was a little hard for me to grasp and understand. It was a bit advanced for me so I had to constantly pause and play it the next day and take it in doses, I’m still not finished yet, and will definitely have to revisit it in the future. It was a bit overwhelming because I wanted to understand but struggled. I recently gave my life to Christ 4 months ago at 27. Like Preston mentioned in the beginning of the episode in his testimony almost everything fell away with ease. I released weed, alcohol, masturbation, secular music (this was necessary because I feel music and meditate on the lyrics) etc… but the one temptation that plagues me on a daily basis is homosexuality. As someone who has lived that life for over 10 years there’s so many elements to it that you’re not even consciously aware of. I stopped pursuing women and started focusing solely on God. But then my mind starts to think of past romantic memories, previous partners pop back up, everywhere you turn there’s an image of homosexuality and it brings forth lustful thoughts and emotions, it’s like you can’t escape it, it’s even in children’s movies. I got a little lost when the discussion between those who use faith to guide them and those who set boundaries for themselves. The only reason why I don’t partake in homosexuality anymore is out of fear of losing the relationship and possessions that I have with God because I gave my life to him. The minute I turned to God I felt loved and whole, I no longer felt alone which was something I was searching for in women and the world that I could never find. I am so afraid that the minute I go back down that path that I will separate myself for God and be back in darkness. Living without God in my life felt like everything was dark and I always felt dark and now living for him there is light all around me in every waking moment I feel light. If I experience something rough I try to immediately pray/talk to him and feel an instant relief. So I don’t know if I am walking by faith or just setting a boundary that’s keeping me from going back to dating a woman. I really appreciate the episode and can see the many layers and constantly revisiting this episode will reveal something different to me each time. That the beauty of God’s Word.

[@tamarabodie6897]

Hi Lori, I don't wanna pretend to know all the answers you're looking for, but just know that I read every word and you have been prayed for. May God continue to bless you on your journey with Him. You're on a good path. Be encouraged and don't give up.

[@marcelacharles7422]

I’m praying for you Lori! My story is a bit different but I relate to so many things you said, especially because I had to get rid of secular music and from time to time I have homosexual thoughts. Many things might not make sense right now but you have a beautiful testimony and the LORD will use you. James 1 has been encouraging me recently since I’ve been struggling myself too. 💕

[@MrMorale96]

You might have typed this to Express your lack of understanding but you ended up encouraging me. You reminded me that the reason to fight what feels so good in the flesh is so as to protect what feels even better, which is our connection to God! May God keep you in your struggle! Love from a stranger❤

[@thatcitrus44]

Hi Lori, thank you for sharing. I'm praying for you - I would ask to actually read Jackie's book "Gay Girl, Good God" (if you have not already) and it could offer some practical insight into your struggles and align it with God's word. God bless you.

I love how Jackie said that when you’re in the world you are enslaved to sin but in Christ it’s temptation. One is a fight & one is simply not.

[@heyitsjesssss]

Just the other night I was praying and crying out to God to help me deal with my lustful temptations because I felt that I can’t overcome them no matter how much I pray. Thank you for this!!

[@dl2310]

[@ccebs8009]

Same. Praise God. Always on time

[@FaithfulComforter]

Fast and pray. No breakfast, just a cup or 2 of water every hour or more. Jesus fasted. David fasted. Daniel fasted. Many others fasted. Also prayed! Jesus prayed for an hour or hours.

[@laurenbourgeois]

I’ve struggled with lust almost all my life. God spoke to me about a month ago as I was under attack from the enemy ‘when you desire what is good more than anything, then you will overcome.’ The next day the Lord revealed to me that I was trying to overcome my porn addiction, believing that when I overcame it, then God would bless me with a spouse. Basically, I was desiring to be free for a blessing more than a desire to be close to God with no hinderances. I made the created a idol before the creator,(Romans 1) and I doubted that God was good and could satisfy my longing to fill the void of loneliness and the feeling of being whole. When I think about the consequences of my sin and how it causes me to feel guilt, shame and condemnation and a separation from a good loving and sincere God, it’s a whole less appealing and highlights the goodness of nature. I hope sharing this helps you because it has been a HUGE breakthrough for me in understanding this.

[@laurenbourgeois]

I’ve done the whole accountability partner, no secular music, movies and all that but God desires our hearts more than a behavioral modification. This new way of thinking has me setting my heart of his goodness more than a list of do’s and don’ts to follow so I won’t wander into sin. Setting my affection on things above and not on things of this earth 😊

[@XTeam49]

I struggle with lustful temptations, and this was something I needed to see honestly. Thank you for this, praise God! Let Jesus take the wheel, we cannot defeat these things, we just need to trust Jesus since he has already defeated them! Hallelujah! Also, 777 views (:

[@saulo777]

Hey Axel! As someone who struggled with this earlier on my christian walk, I can testify to you my brother, that the God of the Universe is empowering us daily through His Spirit. I don't know about you, but when I was suffering thinking that these desires were coming from me I had to pay attention to the emotions that I was experiencing. The enemy whispers to us in the first person, wanting us to believe that those thoughts are coming from us. One method I use to discern this is by noticing if I felt in my mind or in my heart. If I only felt in my mind, crossing my thoughts I know it's demonic so I rebuke it. But more than a advise from a brother, I want this to be an encouragement to you on your walk 💖 Ask the Lord "Why did I turn on to this in my life? I know it's a sin, but why did I choose it when I was in the world, Lord? What was I seeking inside of it, that was giving me purpose or fulfillment? Lord, I turn my eyes upon You. Sanctify me in Your truth and thank you for saving me daily." God bless you!!! 💖

[@traceydumase]

I've had to accept and confess lately that I do not trust God. Not that I don't believe He is real or that He is good or that He is faithful. But somehow guarding myself from being hurt by people (because they have made promises to me they never kept), I inadvertently have put up walls even against God. Where, I've had encounters with Him, I see Him moving in and through my life, I have heard God speak, I KNOW HE IS REAL. However, I don't fully trust Him. I don't trust that He will do what He's told me He's gonna do and it's a me thing. I believe I've definitely been experiencing spiritual warfware and the enemy has been using my past to question God's character and integrity in my heart and mind. I'm sharing this so that I release it, so that it doesn't fester within me, and then also so that if anyone sees is and is lead by Holy Spirit to; that they'll submit me into prayer. I don't know how to fix it. I've partnered with God in many other areas of my life but this feels big. I dunno, this makes me feel helpless and small because I don't know what to do. And I feel bad that I don't trust the same God who healed my depression. How can I have faith in but not trust God in the same breath? Barely makes sense even to me. Pray for me. Please.

I love and trust in you Jesus even though I have fallen on hard times. I know you are my Lord and savior. I will stay faithful and true. Heavenly Father please give me the strength to keep supporting my two autistic children, and myself. My sons require a lot from me because they are special needs. Due to them having issues in school, I’m now homeschooling them. I’m a single mother my husband passed away unexpectedly years ago. I lost my job at Forsyth hospital because I declined the vaccine. I have heart disease and I suffer from lupus that’s the major reason why I declined the vaccine. I’m waitressing and I’m grateful but I’m not making enough to make ends meet. Every month is a struggle, to not end up on the streets with my boys. Also now that I’m homeschooling them my schedule is limited. I’m so overwhelmed and ashamed. I get harassed and bullied on this app for sharing my testimony. It makes me want to give up. But even as I struggle! I have faith in God and I STILL PRAISE HIM! THANK YOU YESHUA! I KNOW God will provide. All praise to the MOST HIGH!

so many verses that they're explaining without even giving the bible verses. i like this raw conversation The one that Preston explained Romans 8 towards the end talks about how the Spirit intercedes for us and goes into the depth of our hearts with groanings and utterances that no man can understand.

[@riagreen1124]

This is so powerful. When Preston talked about prayer, it made me aware that I am battling something and it's not what I think. I've been feeling like I'm battling gluttony and depression but God is showing me that I am not actually battling gluttony- it's something else going on in the spirit.

[@thecouch6306]

You eat your feelings because you haven't made God your refuge it sets food up as your idol. When you want peace or comfort , especially during tough times but go to anything other than God it's idolatry. That's how it was explained to me and its helped me greatly. I hope this helps

[@ccebs8009]

@@thecouch6306 yes very true. Thank you

[@Eb0nyC]

I get what you’re saying but for me. I feel there will always be something in us that we need to identify and combat with him. For instance, I struggle with gluttony so I fast and pray. As my relationship grows with Him my diet, the shows ,and music I listened to changed drastically. I also believe we will constantly have something in our soul that is not quite right which will make us constantly lean and depend on God. If everything was perfect within us and we had all the answers then we wouldn’t seek him.

[@Mikelafication]

This was real good. God really spoke to me through y’all. I have struggled with legalism a lot within the past year, trying to be as holy as possible, and it’s been exhausting to say the least. But y’all are reminding me that it’s faith that’s been the answer all along.

[@vanessaguerreroo]

Amen!! It was a great reminder

[@wylieferguson5129]

Striving to live a Godly OVERCOMERS’ life is NOT legalism! Heb.12:4 THAT’S what we are called to DO! The Law of God is what identifies WHAT sin is - The TRANSGRESSION of God’s Law! - Rom. 7:7,12,14,22. 1 John 3:4-7 Rom. 2:2-13, 14-29. Faith devoid of WORKS is DECEPTION! - James 2:14-26. 1 John 5:1-4. 1 John 2:3-6. 2 Cor. 5:10 - …”According to what he hath DONE”! Yes, God pays BASED upon “hours” WORKED; NOT on how much Faith we had! SUBMISSION to God’s Word and ALLOWING His Holy Spirit to REIGN in our lives, is HOW VICTORY is attained! NOT by/in your OWN strength, wittiness or smarts! And certainly NOT, avoiding/shunning/ignoring the Royal Law of God. - James 2:8-12. We have ALL REBELLED against our Creator, from Adam and Eve ‘til NOW! Hence, the DEGENERATE world we have! More REBELLION against God’s Law CANNOT bring about Healing! But SUBMISSION to His Word, WILL! - James 4:7-10. True Repentance is: 1. being SORRY for REBELLING/BREAKING God’s Law or SINNING against Him, and 2: Accepting the Plan He has prescribed/offered for our Redemption, in His Son’s death, for our sins! 3: Rising from water baptism, to WALK/LIVE in the NEWNESS - some things we used to DO, SAY, SING, “friends” we used to keep etc, etc, we DO, SAY, SING or keep NO MORE - of Christ’s Life THROUGH the Holy Spirit! - 2 Cor. 5:17.

Blessings to you. A lot of us get caught up just trying to be as Biblically sound as we can… as if our intellect will keep us safe and we forget it is by Christ alone through faith alone. You got this!♥️

[@dreamteamtokyo]

Yo Perry's. Y'all are great. Podcasts like these don't have millions of views for a reason. Because this is spiritual GROWTH right here. This is facts.

[@Mwenjo7]

For the first time, I have realized why I usually default to paying attention to the wrong things when the word of God is hitting a spot: It's because it's easier for me to focus on the jokes you guys make at the beginning rather than sitting with the discomfort that I don't believe God who He says He is in my struggle areas. Thank you for this content, may God deepen wisdom as you navigating these KZbin treacherous waters!

[@CrystalRoeMusic]

It’s amazing how she said, “I had a mind that was being renewed, I had a veil that had been lifted ,so I was able to see and understand rightly. I had a new fear of God that was giving me wisdom and I had the holy spirt who was giving me power” there is so much that we do have, but the enemy is quick to highlight and make the temptation look so good ,then turn around and bring condemnation trying to make us feel like we have to start all over with God. Nah, we have a lot of tools to work with it. Repent, get up and ask God to give you wisdom by His word and discernment with the help of the Holy Spirit so that you don’t continue to fall in it because the beautiful thing is we have a redeemer!

[@jose-kv9he]

At first I was like “when was this word when i needed it?” but then I understood that I had to go through those things by myself to fully understand and grasp the subject of spiritual warfare so that then I can spread the message to the world with confidence

Natural boundaries and spiritual boundaries are one but not the same.

[@lysaorleanslinsay2191]

This is where we come to the realization that God actually didn’t give us the spirit of fear (which is faith in the devil and what he says), but God has given us the spirit of love, which is embedded in our hearts; power which is the word of God and a sound mind which we protect with the helmet of salvation. May we be fully girded with the armor of God. This is a super powerful episode. God continue to preserve and protect you and your family. Love you guys💜💜💜

[@user-ne9fm8qu2n]

'Those are the sins that are not external but they will be if you push against their idols hard enough', powerful! @15:35. You glossed over that but it's so significant. 'Do you trust God though?' Let it all be done from FAITH.

@23:44 when she mentioned the shield of faith, that Brought tears to me. I'm so emotional. God is so great fo leading me to him. I'm fresh believer, I'm on Genesis 31 in my bible. I've still sinned with my anger in my transition but I know that God made me in His image and my anger will transition to my creativity, passion, and gifts. Thank you Jesus !!

[@tiruncarswell3326]

Not to sound cliche but God used this video to speak directly to my heart and situation. I, like you Jackie, am normally a pretty confident person, but these days I find myself to be growing more and more insecure. Yesterday I fell into apathy and not wanting to seek God because I was choosing to believe the lies of the enemy over what God has said about me (learned that watching this video). I was becoming so mentally exhausted. But then I came across this video and immediately I started feeling encouraged by the word of God and the edification you two were putting forth. I finished the video and just went and spent time crying out to God and rediscovering His love for me. I thank God for not growing weary of me, always needing affirmation to feel like His son, always questioning His love and loyalty to me because of my shortcomings…I thank God for using a KZbin video to remind me of His love. I thank God for His faithfulness and lovingkindness that endures forever. I just thank God. And I thank you two for being obedient, and sensitive enough to the Spirit of God to be used to edify His people. 🙏🏽

"What I think about God, will inform what I think about myself..."🔥🔥🔥🔥 wow

[@TheRealBean18704]

Okay when she was talking down to herself like that and the place it led her to, I literally SCREAMED. That has SO been me. It's sounded SO much like my voice recently. God is so incredibly faithful, and I am fighting my brain SO much to think about what is true, right, lovely, and pure. It's hard, man. I'm holding on to the hope that this season will be over in this life, that the idol of fear/ anxiety and depression WILL fall by His power, and that one day I'll be in a resurrected body at the feet of my Jesus in all that He is. WHEW. What a good one this is. Needed this one today. So pointed. Praise God.

[@snowman4821]

The parental analogy about trusting God as unto an earthly father or mother was so good! As a mom, I know there are times I have wanted to help my children and they legitimately needed it, but because they wouldn't trust me enough to let it go fully, they clung to the thing they were struggling with that really wasn't meant for them, but I couldn't just pry it from them because it was usually not physical things. But now I see this same error of holding on and trying to fix it in who I was before I understood the fear of God. I would try to resist temptation on my own strength and that led me to sinning again later on down the line because that burden was too heavy for me. I didn't realize I wasn't trusting God fully. Only by surrendering to Him, recognizing that I couldn't resist temptation on my own strength, was I able to, for the first time in my life, GIVE UP and see victory. God is the One who keeps me. I play a role, and that role is faithful submission. When I am trying too hard to resist and I feel myself failing, I surrender and God brings a way of escape from fulfilling that temptation and sinning. God is so good. I am amazed and humbled daily at who He is...

I was being tempted and going through spiritual warfare today more than ever before and I was so down. As I asked God what to watch this video came up on my KZbin. I'm so happy and God is good.

I am fighting these principalities and I diminished his power this week. I am a new creation and he who lives in me is greater than he who lives in world. Today I hold on to his garment and my faith is great! I believe he is my Lord, my savior and his blood has cleanse me. I asked for help. He revealed he is the Almighty, all powerful and anything is possible through him. He is VICTORIOUS today and Always!!!! Amen!!! Glory to GOD!!! YOUR WILL BE DONE!! Thank you!!! I needed to hear this!!! Thank you!!!

[@ccebs8009]

In Jesus Name ! Amen!

[@sarahtaug1457]

I’m so glad for this.when I first came to Christ, I was shocked no one confessed their sins at church and I started to shame myself and feel I was the only one that can’t get this right. And it’s been 2 years and I’m understanding this fight and the truth of what’s really going on.I really appreciate these types of conversations.they are very much needed in the body of Christ! Thank you for this❤

[@jazzy0697]

There is more with us than with them!! Amen! God is greater than my temptation. He’s greater than the spirits and principalities that I battle. A WORD.

[@bettywright4338]

I believe and I receive the prayer that was prayed by Preston, I'm rejoicing in my spirit right now ❤️🙏

[@briamonyae1396]

Wow, I been feeling shame so heavy lately ! This conversation just confirmed that god would never make me feel like I’m worthless, that’s the devil !

[@Amelia7777]

Your devotional is like no other. I love how you direct it all towards our Maker! It’s not some “prosperity” or “the God in you makes you a god” etc.. I just really enjoy reading it and chewing on it. Thanks ma’am!

[@shamgod3003]

"There is more with us than with them"....wow!!! you have NO idea how much that meant to hear! thank you

[@casandratappin6349]

It took me a while to receive the truth that what God has done and who He is is for me as well!! He didn't just die for the people I pray for, but for me too. Wholeheartedly!

[@renn2911]

Preston is a man so full of wisdom! Mighty God!

[@_forevergrateful1]

8 minutes in & this is EXACTLY what I needed to hear 🥺💕 I’ve been praying for guidance, strength & forgiveness on spiritual warfare for 2 days and look what God puts in front of me! Thank you Lord, only you can help me win this battle!

[@CED.Dweller]

I love what Holy Spirit did in this pod. This is a MOVE in a quiet way. And the cinematography-from the overall look and outfits complementing the backdrop to the camera choices-is great. The blurry moments became a set of artistic sweeps. The bully lost.

This session really opened my eyes to some things and I enjoyed this thoroughly. In addition to praying I would like to mention that FASTING with prayer is also very important in spiritual deliverance and the fight against spiritual warfare. For example, in the example that Preston spoke about, in Mark 9, there is a father with a possessed son who had been tormented with a demonic spirit of epilepsy since the boy was a child (vs 9). This demonic spirit also took away this child's ability to speak or talk (vs 17). The disciples could not rebuke the evil spirit and so, when they asked Jesus in vs (28) why they could not cast the spirit out, Jesus informed them in vs (29) "This kind can come forth by NOTHING, but by prayer and fasting." This made me think about child hood trauma and the impact it plays on us as children and in adulthood. There are some who have been dealing with demonic strongholds since childhood. What I mean by this is that there are events that can take place (like being molested as a child, witnessing a high degree of domestic violence or alcohol/drug abuse and so forth) that in one's childhood, can turn to shape one's character as an adult. When the trauma occurs in childhood and because many children do not have the mental maturity to cope with the trauma when it occurs, this spiritual stronghold roots itself, and in a sense takes away from the child's ability to speak about it, and because speaking about it has the potential to expose the shame of the experience, a person may fail to seek deliverance. Then as time progresses the child grows into an adult struggling with certain things and not realizing or seeing the root of their issues, and so, just like the demonic spirit in the Bible, this demonic spirit has a spiritual stronghold on one's life causing the individual to "act-out" in all manners of ways, just like the spirit did in the little boy who experienced convulsion and got thrown into the fire and water (vs 22). My point is this, many spiritual attacks or strongholds occur in childhood and because this has the potential of having long-lasting effects into adulthood, Christ, I believe, in Mark 9 is revealing to us a spiritual tactic to fight against and rebuke what is trying to keep us bound. We have the power to overcome spiritual attacks and be released from spiritual strongholds through faith and the continued implementation of both praying and fasting, Why? Because sometimes, some deliverances can ONLY occur this way! I hopeful this is helpful to someone

I love the way Jackie looks at Preston with so much love. It's beautiful to see.😍❤

[@life.re-defined]

These two are cute as can be. Love that he loves her, seamlessly and so genuinely. What every woman desires. Their mutual affection is grounded in GOD -- and that is so beautiful. .... Glory to God for this ministry.

[@HealedByJesus20]

Everything you said was spot on! Especially the “it do take power not to watch porn… or to cuss somebody out!” WHEW Lord knows porn had me in a chokehold since I was 5, then I was angry. Y’all… GIVE IT TO THE LORD! It takes time but CRY OUT! BE HONEST AND REMIND HIM YOU KNOW YOU NEED HIM! He wants to help you, so let him!!! Love y’all!! Remain steadfast in your word and prayer❤️

[@soniajleija]

God im so helpless, I cant see the spiritual realm, YOU see the things coming against my children in their sleep, YOU whats coming against my family. Teach me what and how to pray!!

[@prilly3250]

Man, thanks for always providing these podcasts for free because this type of content is worth bucks! Powerful. God bless you both!

[@joyh.729]

The point Preston made about how Christians behave as if they’re in cults hit me in the gut. Spot on🎯🎯🎯🎯

[@breerozaa2246]

Preston continuing to complement Jackie even tho she’s trying to change the subject ❤😂

[@OctaviaMonique2]

We have to always depend; lean and trust in Him to see His hand moving in what we stand in need of!

[@HernameisPurpose]

For me to fight temptations more specifically fornication & masturbation.. My life will spiritually die if i dwell in those sin. Even in past rships, I was always uncomfortable and always prayed to stop because it felt so wrong. But more so, Jesus told me that I should stay away 100%. My bloodline is important, my generation is important. EVERYTHING IN LIFE IS SPIRITUAL. I have to be intentional with the choices I make. Thank Jesus for grace!!

[@heidimelo758]

So needed this episode! I started tearing up while praying along with Preston at the end. The enemy's manipulation is always so plotted and timely but thankfully the Spirit is even more timely and ahead of things and knows exactly when to provide encouragement like this.

[@mlillys28]

Why is Jackie so hilarious with her husband!? 😂 I love that! 🩷

[@life.re-defined]

These two young people inspire me. They have wisdom beyond their years... the transparency is helpful. And how they overcame their own battles is teaching me.
