Angels and Demons

Our cell group is going to do a study on Spiritual Warfare.  I think it will be a great study.  We are going to be reading through The Bondage Breaker by Neil T. Anderson as a guide to help facilitate discussion.  We don't have to agree with what he says but we want to discuss the view points and share from there.

As I read through the first 2 chapters, I found that our typical worldview tends to not include things such as angels and demons.  However, I do believe they are regularly in our lives in some way or another.  FYI - I always think of Frank Peretti's series on This Present Darkness when I think of angels and demons.   

I find that we tend to try and explain things that seem to make more logical sense.  For example, we may try to explain the headache we are having as being from a lack of sleep, not enough food, too much stress, etc.  In actuality, it may be brought on by a demon.  I find that I don't typically think of things this way.  I don't know if I believe that, in this example, every headache is necessarily brought on by demons as some of them could truly come from physical items such as your neck being out of alignment.

Wanda gets migranes quite often and I have to wonder if this is the work of a demon.  I think I will be praying a lot more for her when she starts to get these headaches rather than just assuming it is something "natural".
