How Story is Used As a Tool in Spiritual Warfare

This is a spiritual battle taking place all around us. It's referenced and discussed all throughout scripture. Evil has always existed, but over the last couple of years, evil seems to have come out of hiding, come out of the shadows, and is playing a more blatant game. And if you pay attention, evil is using story and narrative against the Church.

It's time that we start pushing back. If we believe Revelation 12:11 to be true, that the Blood of the Lamb and our testimonies are what push back darkness and conquer satan, then we need to start testifying of Jesus' transformational work in our lives. The Church has left story on the sidelines for far too long, but it's not too late. We can still use this incredible tool, a tool that's being used against us in this spiritual battle, to wage war against evil.

He’s worked in the Christian nonprofit and church space for over a decade and his passion for storytelling is surpassed only by his love for Jesus Christ and his desire to see His Kingdom come. Revelation 12:11 tells us that the blood of the Lamb, and the word of their testimony is what will conquer “him.” And yet, very little of the content the Church is currently creating is story and testimony.

“He who controls the narrative controls the culture.” If we want to have a say in culture, we must lead with story and narrative first.

Church, it’s time to start using story and narrative to our advantage. Our stories are the greatest tool we have, the greatest tool for inspiring people to action, for emotionally engaging a lost world. We have the greatest stories ever told! Death to live transformation. Let’s start testifying of his redemptive work in our lives and the lives of His people.
