Updated edition with two new chapters!

The Bible is clear that we face three different types of opposition while attempting to successfully navigate life as Ambassadors for Christ. Our opposition is identified in Scripture as "the world" (1 John 2:15-17), "the flesh" (Romans 7:15-25), and "the devil" (1 Peter 5:8-9). The sad reality is that too many Christians lose more battles than they win and endure their walk with God rather than enjoy it because they often don't recognize how opposition through spiritual warfare actually works.

More importantly, they have no idea how to effectively and efficiently respond to these attacks. Scripture nowhere indicates that a wish, a hope, a clichÉ, or a sincere guess represent adequate responses to attacks from these three very real enemies. Christians must be strategic in their responses to these clearly defined enemies, learning how to fight biblically rather than just sincerely.

In Spiritual Warfare, Dr. Karl Payne—pastor of Leadership Development and Discipleship at Antioch Bible Church and former Chaplain for the NFL's Seattle Seahawks—has written a guidebook for recognizing and responding to spiritual warfare that is simple, biblical, and transferable. Pragmatically speaking, the materials in this book are biblically sound, battle tested, and they work.

As Christians we are supposed to live life as victors, not victims. It is past time we learn how to consistently walk our talk in the midst of conflict rather than passively sing songs or daydream about courageous Christian living.

"…This book helps us understand how we can be free from the enemy’s grip and help others experience the freedom Christ purchased for us at high cost." —Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer, Pastor Emeritus, Moody Church, Chicago, Il

"…This book is a treasured addition to my library and I would recommend it as required reading for everyone in the Church who desires to know how to be a victorious overcomer." —Janet Parshall, Nationally Syndicated Talk Show Host

5.0 out of 5 stars Great resource, concise and complete!
Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2024

This book is an easy read offering important insights into the battles that plague us and keep us from walking as we ought to with the Lord! This very well written book will help the common man deal with the world, the flesh, and the devil in ways that lead to spiritual victory in every-day life. I'm convinced every Christian should read this book. Real-life experiences are given by the author along with a sound scriptural background for understanding the spiritual gifts and power we have by the grace of God through Jesus our Savior.

Amazing points:
Practical
Not sensationalist
Not fear mongering
No mention of ascetic, legalistic practices that aren't mentioned in Scripture
Heavy emphasis on our victory in Christ
Lots of repetition of themes to ensure they stick
Easy to read but not simplistic
Has helped me in my own spiritual walk and condemning thoughts
Very insightful
But above all: very very biblically based. And not just biblically based but grounded in the Spirit of the Scriptures. For those who criticize the book for not having enough Scripture... Are we reading the same book? Dr. Payne grounds his arguments thoroughly in Scripture.

Critical Review:
- Author begins the book saying he has over 25 years experience then later in the book says he has over forty years (perhaps this is indicative of the span of time it took him to write the book. It may be that at the beginning of the book he had 25 years and by the time the book was ready to publish, he had 40 years experience)

- Author emphasizes over and over again the necessity of addressing each dimension of spiritual warfare (world (social), flesh (psychological and physiological) and the devil (supernatural) equally. However, about half the book deals with the topic of demonization.
Not complaints. Just critical observations.

This book was very very helpful. It is a book I plan to keep referring to for years to come in the ongoing battle of spiritual warfare.
Thank you Dr. Karl Payne. And thank the Lord for using you to produce this to help Christians learn how to fight.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pros and Cons- for the Pastor/Leader
Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2012
Verified Purchase
First, I will agree with the majority of reviews that this is a book worth reading. As a conservative evangelical my background has prepared me for solid biblical exegesis and even counseling. It has not prepared me for the reality of specific situations regarding overt demonization (at least in terms of practical application).

The Pros- First, this is not an "everything is a demon" type of book, which is a relief. If in your search for a book on spiritual warfare you're looking for multiple stories and fireworks, you won't find it here. This book does not start on Mars (if you know what I mean...respectfully). I appreciate that the author came from a Baptist background as I could relate to his perspective on the Bible, church, and core values. I feel that he presents a sound biblical foundation with passages that are contextually appropriate. In other words, he is not using scripture that has to be stretched to fit the topic. Finally, the last third of the book is very practical as it gives some specific techniques in terms of what to do during the visit and a scripted approach to dealing with demonic stronghold. Scripted sounds bad, but if you take it for what it is, it conveys a very practical display of what should and shouldn't be said to someone not in the room. It is useful to me.

The Cons- Obviously, I give this 5 stars. This being said, the Cons are that if you are a leader/pastor you will likely find the first half of this book very slow and wordy. If you are reading this book not necessarily needing to be convinced of demonization but wanting practical wisdom on it, then you may find it difficult to get into until the second half of the book and appendices. Like many books today, it could probably lose 50-100 pages and would be just as effective. The author does a good job of conveying a subject (the flesh, the world, the devil), but like a sermon that lasted 15 minutes beyond it's climax, could have used some editing.

Overall, this is a worthy read. I have recommended it to numerous of our pastors on staff with me. I read the kindle version. Love the kindle...

5.0 out of 5 stars Deliverance is no circus
Reviewed in Brazil on March 15, 2019

It is Biblical, sober and with clear definitions, following a concise, well structured and suficiently exemplified methodology. The best and most practical book on spiritual warfare I read. It is indispensible for our increasingly demonized times. The church has been in confusion and neglect of this comission for too long. Every christian has authorithy in Christ Jesus to resist the devil and its minions. Based on his extensive experience, the author argues that deliverance should not be an exorcist circus. Once proper conditions are met, demons are bound to obey the command to leave, orderly and in silence as the defeated enemy they are.

One of the best books on spiritual warfare. Every Christian needs this book!! It is life changing, will read again. UPDATE:
However, if you really want to know about spiritual warfare, you need to check out books by African authors such as Erikia Mukisa or Dr. Daniel Olukoya or Daniel Okpara. A book called Snatched from Satan's Claws by Nancy Koech is also really enlightening. They will teach you what is really going on in the world of Satan and it's not just for African people!! It's happening all over the world!! May God open our eyes in the West to what demons are doing to Western Christians nowadays!!
