Secondly, the Bible is explicit in the how-to of preparing for spiritual battle. He suggests that both responses require embracing the mentality that humans are indeed weak and only in the might of the Lord can they effectively face down spiritual foes. However, it does provide enough information to formulate patterns, strategies and practical ways for Christians to combat such spiritual attacks.Ĭiting Ephesians 6:10-20 as the principal New Testament teaching on spiritual warfare, Ingram breaks this section of scripture into two basic themes: "Be strong in the Lord" and "Put on the full armor of God." Ingram says that when people suddenly are fearful of or in danger from spiritual entities, they react with either a fight or flight response. Ingram is quick to point out that the Bible doesn't tell believers everything there is to know about how Satan and his demons work. Somewhere in the middle, where average Christians live and pray and worship, Ingram seeks to educate, inform and equip said believers for what he terms is an "invisible war" being fought everywhere in the world today. The text of THE INVISIBLE WAR doesn't promote a sensationalist scare-tactic mentality nor does it present a purely academic one. To begin, Chip Ingram's message is not one of extremes.
