SPIRITUAL WARFARE: Understanding Satan’s True Identity and How To Defeat Him | Live Free with Josh Howerton

Spiritual warfare is real—but what does the Bible actually teach about fighting it? In this episode, Pastors Josh, Carlos, and Paul break down the armor of God piece by piece and show how truth, righteousness, faith, salvation, the gospel, Scripture, and prayer help believers stand firm against the enemy’s schemes.

They also explore where Satan came from, whether he can read your thoughts, and how Christians should evaluate dramatic spiritual manifestations and deliverance ministries. This conversation offers a biblical framework that avoids both fear-driven superstition and dismissive cynicism, pointing listeners back to Jesus, Scripture, repentance, and lasting fruit.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

What each piece of the armor of God means and how to put it on

Why prayer is the often-forgotten culmination of Ephesians 6

What Scripture suggests about Satan’s origin, authority, and limitations

Whether the enemy can read your mind

How to test spiritual experiences and claims of deliverance biblically

Why lasting repentance and the fruit of the Spirit matter more than emotional intensity

Stand firm. Think biblically. Live free.
