Teaching Series Episodes
1. Intro & Sufficiency
Pastor Jim Osman gives an introduction to biblical spiritual warfare and explains the doctrine of the sufficiency of Scripture.
2. Truth or Territory?
Looking at 2 Corinthians 10:3-6, Jim Osman contrasts two views of spiritual warfare: the truth view and the territory view.
3. Carnal Weapons: Hedges & Hexes
Pastor Osman examines the practice of "praying a hedge of thorns" around Satan himself and whether or not generational curses exist.
4. Carnal Weapons: Binding & Rebuking
Marking the halfway point in the series, Osman compares Scripture with the common modern practice of binding and rebuking the Devil.
5. Carnal Weapons: Spiritual Mapping
Some spiritual warfare experts believe identifying Satan's hierarchy and naming and battling demons is necessary to claim cities, regions, and nations for Christ. Pastor Osman uses Scripture to show why these practices are unnecessary.
6. Demon Possession & Sanctification
Exorcisms are often practiced in the name of Christ, but it is debated whether it is biblical or not. Osman examines this practice and shows what the Bible says about Christ's sanctification.
7. Authority & Exorcisms
Many mistakenly believe that Christ has granted us a near unlimited authority over the spiritual realm. They believe that this authority can be used to perform exorcisms to claim people back from Satan's power. However, Scripture teaches that exorcisms are a miraculous sign that accompanied Jesus' ministry and later the Apostolic proclamation of the gospel.
8. Ephesians 6
To conclude, Osman looks at the purpose and context of "The Armor of God" found in Ephesians 6.
