Standing Firm: Spiritual Warfare Against Control in Church Leadership

📖 Introduction

Spiritual warfare is a reality for every believer, especially within the challenging contexts of church leadership. The spirit of control often manifests through domination, fear-based decisions, and unhealthy hierarchies that can stifle the freedom God intends for His people. This 7-day study is designed to equip believers to discern, resist, and overcome these forces with biblical wisdom and courage.

Leadership in the church is meant to serve and shepherd, not to dominate or intimidate. Fear and control can creep in subtly, causing division, discouragement, and spiritual bondage. This study will encourage you to stand firm in your God-given identity, resist fear-driven control, and support leadership that reflects Christ's humility and servant heart.

Each day, we’ll explore Scripture that reveals God's heart for authority, freedom, and truth. You will discover practical steps to guard your heart and your church community from harmful control tactics, while embracing the peace and boldness that come from walking in the Spirit. Let this journey embolden you to fight not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces that seek to divide and control.

Remember, God calls us to freedom, love, and unity. As we navigate the challenges of spiritual warfare in leadership, may our hearts be rooted in His truth and empowered by His Spirit.
