Spiritual Ignorance (Part 7)
Here are some natural parallels of spiritual truth that illustrate the importance of dissemination of information in battle.
In spiritual warfare your knowledge of the enemy and his tactics are vital to victory. The Bible is your "intelligence manual" which reveals all you need to know about the enemy. As you learn of Satan's strategies and scriptural counter-strategies to defeat him, you should communicate these facts to other Christian soldiers. Be aware-Satan gathers information on you too. He learns your points of weakness and targets them with offensive attacks.
In spiritual warfare, Satan wants to destroy your lines of communication with the Lord. He will try to prevent you from praying and reading God's Word, as these provide instructions and encouragement for spiritual warfare. If you are so busy in battle that you neglect communication with the Commander, you will be easily defeated.
Your victory on the front lines of spiritual warfare comes through sustained communication with the battle Commander. You must constantly receive His instructions and encouragement through prayer and study of His Word.
Here are some natural parallels of spiritual truth that illustrate the importance of dissemination of information in battle.
-Enemy nations always spread false information about each other.
Satan injects false propaganda into your mind if you allow him to. This is a major tactic he uses and the reason why you must win the battle for your mind by allowing Christ to dwell within it..
-One of the strategies of a nation at war is to weaken the enemy by diplomatic proposals.
These are usually suggestions to compromise. Through such proposals each nation tries to gain an advantage over the other. In spiritual warfare, Satan attempts to make believers compromise with sin. He knows such "diplomacy" will result in spiritual weakness.
-When nations are at war, there is always an intricate organization of intelligence.
Each side has intelligence forces dedicated to gathering information about the other. These forces collect and analyze information about the enemy and then they communicate what they have learned to the soldiers engaged in combat.

-Communication is vitally important in natural warfare.
Good soldiers must be able to receive instructions and encouragement from their commander. The enemy will try to sever communication between the front line troops and their leader, knowing this will result in failure on the battlefield.
