ABOUT THIS EPISODE
So… who wants to talk about the fallen angels, aka: DEMONS? Don't worry, our aim isn’t to freak you out, but to demystify the origin of evil, explain why the devil and demons even exist, expose their insidious agenda – AND encourage you to JOYFULLY walk out your God-given SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY! This topic isn’t often covered, but we feel it’s essential for Christians to understand the supernatural realm in order to withstand the spiritual warfare coming against us on a daily basis. We also offer the biblical perspective on tarot cards, fortune telling, and shaman type healings — because even Christians are tempted to dabble in these activities “for fun”, not realizing the spiritual connotations or repercussions. Listen to the end for prayer, verses, and suggestions -- and check out extra resources on this topic below. Let's jump in! (Series: Supernatural Realm Part 2)

James 4:7 - “Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”

NOVO SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY COHORT

This is a great way to learn about your spiritual authority as a Christian. These cohorts are available in person at churches in your area OR online and are FREE! We highly recommend how they frame spiritual warfare, listening prayer, healing prayer, declarative prayer, and priestly prayer. The curriculum takes you from authority over your personal life to authority over your neighborhood and region. They use many of the books and authors we’ve recommended over the years. So check it out!
