What is spiritual warfare? How can I recognize it? In what ways does it affect me?

The Bible has much to say about the temptations and struggles you face day by day. In this LifeGuide® Bible Study, you'll walk through nine passages of Scripture to learn who the real enemy is, what their plan of attack is, and how you can defend yourself and be victorious. Through this study, you'll deepen your understanding of spiritual warfare and learn how to take hold of God-given sources of power, assurance, and hope.

This 9-Session LifeGuide Bible study features:



- A guide to getting the most out of the study, including suggestions for how to participate in individual or group study

- Leader's notes for preparation and leading a group through the study

- "Now or Later" section following each session to help you act on what you learn
