About this episode
This episode discusses the concept of vengeance in the spiritual realm and how to engage in spiritual battles while leaving personal revenge to God.
Life Group Questions Key Verse: Isaiah 59:17 - He put on righteousness as his breastplate, and the helmet of salvation on his head; he put on the garments of vengeance and wrapped himself in zeal as in a cloak. 1. There is a clear line between not taking revenge in the natural realm but engaging in battle in the spiritual realm. What does it look like practically for you to “leave vengeance to God” with people, while still fighting spiritually? 2. Pastor Ryan warned against fighting people instead of the real spiritual enemy behind the scenes. Where have you caught yourself focusing frustration on people instead of recognizing a deeper spiritual battle? 3. Real warriors fight because they love something (family, purpose, God’s kingdom). What are you personally fighting for right now? 4. We are called to war and keep warring in the spirit. What are some good ways to stay consistent with this?
