The spirit realm is real and affects our lives. Satan's greatest deception is convincing people he doesn't exist. The church must reclaim its authority in deliverance. Spiritual identity theft is a significant issue in the church. Humanism promotes the idea that the spirit realm doesn't exist. All occult practices are inherently evil. The Holy Spirit provides guidance and discernment. Understanding Satan's tactics is essential for spiritual warfare. The church's growth has been stunted by ignorance of the spiritual realm. #spiritualwarfare, #discernment, #demonicactivity, #deliveranceministry, #Christianfaith, #spiritualidentity #theft, #evilspirits, #churchgrowth, #humanism, #authorityofbelievers
