The Christian life is a battle! Spiritual warfare is a reality to be faced, not a concept to be debated. On a topic that is so prone to high extremes, I highly recommend Chip Ingrams biblical and balanced approach that shows us how to recognize, prepare for, and defeat Satans schemes in our lives.
Howard G . Hendricks , former distinguished professor and chairman, Center for Christian Leadership, Dallas Theological Seminary
My friend Chip has done all of us one big favor. He has reminded us that there is another world... a far more important and dangerous world... where we do battle every day. Better yet, he has with clarity and candor shown us the way to win the battle in the name of our champion Jesus!
Dr . Joseph M . Stowell , president, Cornerstone University
When life seems to hit a brick wall head on... or when the brick wall seems to be falling on your life, there may be more than meets the eye. There is a warfare raging, not simply with terrorists across the globe... but with spiritual forces for the soul of our culture, our families, and our lives. Chip Ingram deftly and expertly leads us through a biblical boot camp to equip us to stand firm in the battle, and come out on the winning end. This is a handbook I would highly recommend to every Christ follower serious about making life count and living it to the max.
Bob Reccord , president, Hope for the Heart
To Fred and Bebe with gratitude beyond what we could ever express for your love and support of Theresa, myself, and all of our children in the midst of our greatest spiritual battles.
Chip

I t takes a team to do anything of significance in life, and this book is no exception. My thanks to Sealy and Curtis Yates for launching this project; to Vicki Crumpton of Baker Publishing Group, who is a joy to work with; and Chris Tiegreen of Walk Thru the Bible, who helped me take tapes, notes, and outlines and make them better and easier to read and understand. Our teams hope is that you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.
W hat an exciting opportunity to get to update and revise this book on spiritual warfare. Although the truth has not changed, the influence and manifestation of evil has morphed and grown exponentially.
Little did I know eight years ago that this material would be taught on radio, television, and the internet and become a small group resource, bringing it to millions of people around the globe. The feedback and testimonies from people of various cultures, denominations, and countries encouraged me to refine the material and provide more current illustrations and warnings to believers, especially to the subtle attacks on our children.
I invite you to join me on this journey as we uncover the truth from Gods Word about the Invisible War we face every day as Christians.
The year was 1990. God had made it clear that my time in Texas as pastor of Country Bible Church was coming to an end. We had enjoyed serving in this rural community for eight years. This was where I had learned to be a pastor. I had developed deep foundations and grown personally in this small town, but God was moving us to a new ministry. His direction was very clear for me and my family. But with every turn came the same warning: Be on your guard, Chip. You are entering an area of fierce spiritual combat, and you need to prepare yourself.
As we interviewed for the job in California, a number of people said this to us in a variety of ways. The elders, key staff members, and specific lay leaders individually welcomed us wholeheartedly, but they also warned us of what we might experience with regard to spiritual warfare. To be honest, I thought they were just a little paranoid. I was a pastor and had dealt with spiritual warfare in ministry before. I had traveled to many countries around the world and seen firsthand the reality of the battle. Besides, God had prepared me with an excellent seminary educationI could exegete Ephesians 6 with the best of them. Or so I thought.
But I began to realize that God was up to something when one of my closest friends and mentors in Texas scheduled a special lunch with me. He was always very discerning and had the habit of regularly fasting and praying for me. I dont remember him ever being more serious than he was at that lunch. Chip, you are entering a new era in your ministry, and I have the strongest impression from the Lord that you need to prepare yourself for a whole new level of spiritual warfare. I believe God is going to use you in a very significant way, but you will experience spiritual opposition like youve never known before. You need to get ready for the battle.
Those words were prophetic. Our twelve years in Santa Cruz, California, proved to be a graduate course in spiritual warfare. I would come to learn that this town was a renowned center of occult activity with satanic bookstores and openly active satanic worshipers. I would be confronted with the most fearful experiences in my spiritual life. I would live in an environment where the occult, New Age beliefs, and cults were so common that ads on coffee shop bulletin boards included how to cast spells, how to contact your spirit guide, and warlock coven meets 7 p.m. Monday nights.
