Seminar on "Spiritual Warfare" Provides Insight into Fighting Against the Dark World

1


Elim Center International's Pastor Zechariah Lim gave a lecture on "Spiritual Warfare" on in Dover, NY on March 20 as described in Ephesians 6:12, which states: For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

The lecture emphasized the need for believers to know that we are in the midst of a spiritual battle against powers of the dark world and spiritual forces of evil.

Pastor Zechariah urged participants at the lecture to learn from the example of Jesus, who prayed in the garden of Gethsemane before he took up the cross, but also note that his disciple, the apostle Peter, was asleep at the time when the Lord was praying. P Lim urged those in attendance to see this and stay awake in prayer.

He emphasized the point to fight against evil with faith in the power and authority of the blood of Jesus Christ, overcoming with God's love. 

He also urged listeners to not lose strength in prayer by continually praying earnestly, aligning their hears with heaven and connecting their heart with God's heart.

He urged them to not take their prayers lightly, considering them preciously. He said that by trusting in the authority given to believers by the blood of Christ, their homes and ministries would become houses of prayer where the grace of heaven overflows and the Holy Spirit works powerfully.
