Spiritual Warfare. Are You Feeling It?

Woman reflecting on faith and spiritual warfare

I have been feeling this in my spirit a lot lately.

I’ve talked with others who have a strong faith walk and they are feeling it as well. 


Listen, I’m not going to pretend I know the Bible as well as I would like to.  I won’t pretend that I am some theologian that can interpret all the Bible references and meanings.  I’m not even going to pretend that I spend as much time reading the Bible as I should. 

But I have tried very hard to at least make it a daily practice.  Whether it’s 5 minutes or 45 minutes. 


Some days  maybe a light goes off and something clicks.  Some days I have no clue what I read. 


I have read the Bible through twice in my life.  I started for the third time at the beginning of the year and decided I was going to do it differently this time.  I wasn’t going to try to have a timeline.  I was going to spend more time on sections trying to understand it better, rather than making it a checklist of “I read it in a year”


I have a life application Bible that has explanatory notes that I have started reading each day that corresponds to the chapter I’m reading. This was in today’s notes. 


I don’t know why I feel so aware of the spiritual warfare around us.   I don’t know why some people don’t.  I have my suspicions. 

I have days that I struggle walking around like life is normal, when I feel this warfare in my spirit.  To be quite honest, there are some days that I really wish I could go back to the days where I didn’t feel it. 


The one thing I do know, is it makes me want to live out my faith in an undeniable way. 


I’m curious, is anyone else feeling this too?
