🔰 INTRODUCTION
Spiritual warfare in this Dispensation of Grace is not fought with physical weapons, emotional hype, or religious rituals. The believer today stands—not advances—from a position already secured in Christ. Paul reveals that our warfare is doctrinal, mental, and spiritual, against satanic deception, not demons to be cast out.
⚠️ The goal is not victory—we already have it in Christ. The goal is to STAND.
