"TERRITORIAL SPIRITS" Part 3 "A CLASHING OF TWO KINGDOMS" PASTOR ROGER LUCERO

Our study today takes us into the third part of our Bible series, "TERRITORIAL SPIRITS: WHAT THEY ARE AND HOW TO CONQUER THEM." This segment deals specifically with "A CLASHING OF TWO KINGDOMS: The Kingdom of God (a.k.a. the Kingdom of Light) and the Kingdom of Satan (a.k.a. the Kingdom of Darkness)." One of the meanings for the word "KINGDOM," is "TERRITORY" (as in a TERRITORY RULED BY A KING). In Scripture, THE KINGDOM OF GOD not only refers to a future kingdom (of which there will be a future kingdom according to Revelation Chapters 20 to 22), but it also speaks of a present spiritual kingdom as ruled by Christ Jesus, the King of kings. With this in mind, there are demonic territorial spirits sent from the devil himself with attempts to rob us of our God-given spiritual inheritance. Jesus said (Matthew 11:12 KJV) "And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force." Therefore, to follow Christ, it's going to take courage, unwavering faith, determination, and endurance because of the growing opposition against the followers of Jesus Christ. In our study today, we'll also use a lot of examples of how the kingdom of darkness is saturated with destructive types of CONFUSION and DIVISIVENESS that is attempting to divide and tear our nation apart. These things are tools of the enemy to destroy our families, our marriages, our children, and our morals. What often begins with what looks like differences of opinions and beliefs, turns out to be a revealing of where we're at as a people. But when God makes something abundantly clear in His Word, there's no room of opinions, this is, if you believe His Word to be true and accurate. We will describe as best as we can, what each one of these examples are, and how TERRITORIAL SPIRITS ARE NOT ONLY TARGETING GEOGRAPHICAL AREAS, but POLITICAL and SPIRITUAL AREAS OF LIFE. But thank God, we have the answer to overcome.
