[NOTE TO TEACHER] The focus of this lesson is to help people see that the Gospel itself is combative and will stir up conflict between us, other people, and demonic forces. But only the demonic forces are our real enemies. Too often we get drawn into social, political, and personal battles with people and get distracted from the spiritual warfare happening all around us. Our commission is spiritual warfare, not human warfare. The goal of this lesson is to encourage people to stop seeing other people as their enemy - or other battles as theirs to fight - but to see the real enemy behind the scenes and focus the fight on that enemy. This is accomplished by preaching the Gospel and demonstrating it through healing and deliverance.
