How to Fight Spiritual Battles in an Unspiritual World

When we came to earth, the hosts of heaven drew the veil between our eternal home and our new mortal home. Without the knowledge we had once attained of our Heavenly Parents and Savior, we would be able to grow and progress as we feel our way after God and learn to discern His voice. So much of life is based on faith and belief in what we are not permitted to see with natural eyes. That blessing can come once we are completely prepared like previous prophets who had the privilege of seeing the Lord face to face. Until then, we need to keep believing, keep reaching upward, and nurturing our testimonies.

With this earthly experience always before us, it is easy to be caught up in all that the world has to offer. There is so much beauty and refinement but the many influences that draw us away from God damage our spiritual standing before the Lord. President Thomas S. Monson reminded us, “We are spiritual beings having a human experience.”1 If we focus only on what we are doing while we live on this planet, we will miss the grand and glorious promises and blessings of spiritual growth.

The Lord taught us about the importance of remembering our eternal natures in Doctrine and Covenants 29:34-35. “Wherefore, verily I say unto you that all things unto me are spiritual, and not at any time have I given unto you a law which was temporal; neither any man, nor the children of men; neither Adam, your father, whom I created. Behold, I gave unto him that he should be an agent unto himself; and I gave unto him commandment, but no temporal commandment gave I unto him, for my commandments are spiritual; they are not natural nor temporal, neither carnal nor sensual.”

Everything that the Lord has given us has been to bring us back into the presence of our Father. Understanding that everything we choose to bring into our lives either draws us toward or takes us away from our God should help us fight the spiritual battles of our day. We can pray and fast for the blessing of discernment or a greater portion of the spirit to recognize how our choices affect whether we are winning or losing those battles.

Hollywood seems to be the modern face of Babylon. There is no reverence for God. Sacred things have become lewd and are flaunted all over the media. The battle that started in heaven when the great serpent made war with Christ has not ended, it has only changed locations. This time, however, we must use faith to fight these battles for our souls. The adversary who once worked in secret is openly fighting against Christ and His principles.

President Nelson asked us to make our homes places of safety and to never stop preparing ourselves. 2 We cannot afford to let down our guard. In these last of the latter days, we will see great opposition that looks like trends, fads, offenses, distress, etc. that are attacks on our moral agency. The adversary persuades us gently and draws us away from Christ little by little.  Know that these threats have everything to do with the plan of salvation in action throughout eternity and much less to do with time only. Can we hold out true and faithful? Can we avoid the traps that the adversary has set? Yes, we can. We do that by evaluating every philosophy, every idea, every activity that we participate in. Does it bring light and truth? Does it foster a desire to serve others? Does it bring peace? Is it accompanied by the presence of the Spirit of Christ?

As we strive to truly evaluate what we are spending our time on, we will be alert and aware to the adversary’s attempts to pull us away from the truths which we cherish. We will be able to see clearly as we make decisions to protect ourselves and our families.

  • I want to use this opportunity to share the good works of Dr. Odunga who brought my husband back to me from another woman in 2 days. His email is odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and his WhatsApp contact is +2348167159012.

    The day my husband left me, things appeared bleak, and the atmosphere was heavy with uncertainties. Everything seemed pale and so I decided to look for help in spell casters who have the capability to bring my ex husband back to me. As envisaged, I went on the internet and as you too have seen in your search for a reliable spell caster, I saw a lot of testimonies of spell casters in the recovery of ex husbands and loved ones. Driven by belief in Doctor Odunga, I contacted him and after explaining things to him, he accepted to face the challenges on ground. He did brilliantly well. My ex husband came back to me within 2 days of contact with more care and affection and promised never to leave me. I will therefore like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to him and share this testimony to enable others in need to contact him for his selfless service to situations and problems. Commendable, he shows great courage at taking on the daunting task of finding solutions to practically any given problem. Contact him at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and I believe he will help you as he did to me.

  • Using this medium to appreciate the effectiveness and quality service delivery of Trojanhack Cyber Security Company. Who was very instrumental in recovering my stolen BITCOIN and USDT from online fraudsters pretending to be Russian oligarchs.

    I was so lunkheaded to key in to their proposal and thus made me squandered a staggering amount of $187,640 to them.

    Every attempt to travel to russia to meet up always ended with stories from them. It was a very tough 7 weeks with them. They drilled the hell out of me.

    Later I realized I’ve been a victim of their shell game. So unsound I got scammed by such setup.

    All thanks to Trojan hack cyber security company who was able to recover my lost USDT and BITCOIN within 3 days after a friend recommended them, that he got a review of their services from Google.

    Thanks to TROJANHACK CYBER SECURITY COMPANY for bringing tranquility back to my life.

  • Good day viewers, I wish to share my testimony with all of you. I have daily 9 to 5 jobs, but while I work, I try my luck at playing instant Lotto. On this particular day, I decided to seek help online regarding tips for winning the lottery, and I saw many individuals testifying about Meduza spells. I reached out to him and informed him that I needed help to win the lottery, and he clarified the process to me, stating that after he casts the spell, it will take 48 hours for him to provide me the winning numbers, which I accepted. I followed all his instructions, and he provided me with the numbers to enter the Lottery. After the draw the following morning, I received a notification on the Lottery app on my phone indicating that I was the lucky winner of $273 million on the New Jersey Lottery and I’m here to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Meduza. If you seek for assistance in any aspect of your life, WhatsApp Meduza via +1 (807) 907-2687 or Email; lordmeduzatemple@hotmail.com
