The Three Battlegrounds: An In-Depth View of the Three Arenas of Spiritual Warfare: The Mind, the Church and the Heavenly Places
The term spiritual warfare introduces a new but perhaps unwelcome dimension for many Christians. While we may never initiate spiritual warfare ourselves, we all must face the fact that the devil has initiated warfare against us. Therefore, it is essential that we discern the areas of our nature that are unguarded and open to satanic assault.
There are three arenas of spiritual warfare the maturing Christian will face: the mind, the church, and the heavenly places. Before Jesus sent his disciples out, He charged them to become as wise as serpents yet innocent and harmless as doves (Matt. 10:16). This fusion of divine wisdom and Christlike innocence is the taproot of all spiritual victory. Indeed, we can share in Christ's victory over our enemy, but wisdom must precede warfare and virtue must come before triumph.
Francis Frangipane's revolutionary book, The Three Battlegrounds, has been groundbreaking in the arenas of spiritual warfare. A timeless resource, this newly revised edition provides practical knowledge and powerful application for defeating the enemies of our faith.
Here are some quotes from the book: "Victory begins with the name of Jesus on our lips. It is consummated by the nature of Jesus in our hearts."
"There are satanic strongholds over countries and communities and there are strongholds which influence the churches and individuals. Wherever a stronghold exists, it is a demonically induced pattern of thinking. Specifically, it is a house made of thoughts which has become a dwelling place for satanic and activity."
"Is your love growing or becoming softer, brighter, more daring and more visible? Or is it becoming more discriminating, calculating, less vulnerable and less available? This is very important issue, for your Christianity is only as real as your love. A measurable decrease in your ability to love is evidence that a stronghold of cold love is developing within you."
"There is a war, a very ancient war, between the spirit of Elijah and the spirit of Jezebel. In this age-old battle, Elijah represents the interests of heaven: the call to repentance and the return to God. Jezebel, on the other hand, represents that unique principality whose purpose is to hinder and defeat the work of repentance."
