Spiritual Warfare
Mention the words “spiritual warfare” and fierce battles with the devil come to mind. While it is true that Satan tries to put sickness, depression and strife in our lives, God does not want us to fight the devil in long-drawn battles. God’s Word tells us to rest instead. In the spiritual warfare passage in Ephesians 6, the word “wrestle” appears only once, whereas the word “stand” appears four times! This means that in spiritual warfare, we are to stand or rest in the victory of Christ. Jesus has already defeated the devil and put us on victory ground. And to help us stand our ground, He has given us His seven-piece armour. So stop trying to defeat a defeated foe. Just put on His armour and rest in His victory!

REST IN GOD!!!
I love this book!! and I highly recommend you to read Spiritual Warfare. We all go through different fiery trails and tribulations in our life time. Sometimes us Christian forget or are to overwhelmed to remember God has given us victory over all the bad things that has happen or are happening in our lives. I listen to Pastor Joseph Prince every morning and read his books. All of them have been a blessing to me and my family in good times and bad.

Nobody explains this subject better than Pastor Prince! Blessed by his teachings - a man of God who is always so attuned to the spirit world.
He teaches on how to put on the armour of God in very practical ways. Nothing too theological, nothing too airy-fairy, no emphasis on demons, but just simple practical steps to applying God’s word, putting the focus on Jesus.
I believe understanding the Father’s heart for us should never be difficult for every believer. Pastor Prince does this well. Highly recommended read.

Simple to comprehend, empowering
If you’re a born again Christian experiencing any kind of difficulty this book will help to clarify how it is we fight spiritual warfare and how to be an overcomer.

Hands down the best book on the armor of God that I've read. Joseph Prince's books are so crucial in the lives of Christians. Read this and read it again.

Great book
This book was a blessing to me. It helped me understand what it truly means to pray in the Spirit and showed me how to stand firm with the full armor of God. The explanations were clear, practical, and powerful. I feel more equipped, more confident in my prayer life.

This book is everything!

Its a quick read and this book is not about metaphysics world and how it works. This is more on spiritual warfare in general and how to prepare against its clash.

Excellent book. Prince does a good job of taking complex ideas in simplifying it to apply to your life.

Spiritual Warfare may be one of the smaller volumes written by Pastor Joseph Prince, but a lack in pages doesn’t mean a lack in great illustrations or teaching. The “armor of God” in Ephesians chapter six has always been a popular topic among churches and authors in Christianity; and I’m sure we’ve all heard it preached on to some extent. Pastor Prince’s explanation here is a concise, easy to understand guide of what it means to use these pieces of armor effectively in our lives.
…And that’s probably the first reason why I latched on to this book so quickly. Pastor Prince teaches you how to use the armor. Personally, I’ve always heard people talk about the armor of God in a doctrinal way. I heard teaching on righteousness, faith, salvation and peace. I knew what each piece meant, but I didn’t know what it meant for me. In Spiritual Warfare, each chapter explains not only what each piece of this armor is for, but how I can use it. All his examples and suggestions are easy to understand and simple to practice. If you listen and/or read a lot of Joseph Prince’s material, you’ll recognize some of his conclusions from other teachings and I found it really helpful to see how those fit in with this portion of Scripture.
Secondly, I loved how the author explained each piece of armor. Before reading this book, I could figure out why faith is described as a shield, I mean, that one’s pretty obvious. But, what does peace have to do with your feet? I know a lot of people use this part to talk about missions and any preacher can talk about peace all day, but I was still unsure of the connection with the feet until I read this book. Using a simple example from Basic Military Training, Pastor Prince explained why a soldier must have healthy feet in wartime and how this relates to spiritual warfare. After all, if you’re not at peace with what you’re walking through, chances are, you’re not gonna come out too good!
The third thing that I found interesting is how Pastor Prince insists that prayer is also a part of the armor of God. When you read the passage, it makes sense; prayer may be the last thing mentioned, but it is in there! In addition, I loved how he uses the number system in the Bible to prove this is so. We all have been taught that the armor of God has six pieces – belt, helmet, breastplate, boots, sword and shield. But, six in the Bible represents man; a.k.a. falling short, failure. How can God give us something to fight spiritual darkness with if it’s not perfect, like Him? Yet, when you add in prayer, it brings the number to seven…the number that represents completeness in the Word of God. The number of God Himself. And if we’re going to use the power of God to fight the forces of darkness, shouldn’t talking to Him be a part of that?
Conclusion: If you’re interested in a fresh look at a familiar passage of Scripture, I highly recommend Spiritual Warfare. It’s an easy read, practical and will point you to Jesus. Pastor Prince reminds us that the battle has already been won by Jesus on the cross…He’s provided the protection for our lives; we just have to use the Scripture to unlock and activate that power. The best part? It’s simple. Anyone can follow the guidelines given here! This book is just over a 100 pages, so if you’re interested but don’t have a lot of time to read, know that you can get through this book pretty fast.

An encouraging book for Christians focusing on Ephesians 6.10-20, 'The Armour of God'. I felt at peace having finished this book. I would give it five stars but 'speaking in tongues' is a concept that alludes me at this stage.

Powerful book! There are some scriptures out of context so I recommend reading it with your Bible on the side , just exclude the statements after the scriptures out of context. Other than that is a great book with great tools to stand victorious. We need to fight from victory not for victory.

Great book on the rest we can have in Jesus when we believe He has already done the work for our salvation, healing, and deliverance.

The topic of spiritual warfare used to sound complicated to me. As if you had to be a kind of special or super-christian to be able to do it. I live how this book teaches what the Bible says about it. It is easy to understand and I feel edified and encouraged-ready to put on the armour and STAND!
