The Spiritual Battle Around Christmas

We focus on the physical activities of Christmas the cooking, shopping, cleaning, travelling but few talk about the spiritual atmosphere during this season.

Christmas is a time of:
• heightened emotions
• spiritual openness
• increased attacks
• deep loneliness
• unresolved wounds
• family tension
• financial strain

The enemy takes advantage of all these.

Here are five things to guard spiritually this Christmas:
1. Guard your peace.
If the enemy can’t distract you, he will try to overwhelm you.
2. Guard your relationships.
Christmas conflict is one of his favourite weapons.
3. Guard your mind.
Reject lies, comparison, pressure, and fear.
4. Guard your devotion.
Stay in prayer, even if it’s short.
5. Guard the atmosphere of your home.
Fill it with worship, prayer, and Scripture.

Remember this:

Christmas is not just a date it’s a declaration:
Light has come, darkness cannot overcome it.

Stand firm.
Pray boldly.
Celebrate with spiritual awareness.

Christ has come and with Him comes hope, victory, and peace.
