Spiritual Battles to be Won in Christian Counseling

Spiritual Attack: What’s Your Battle Plan?

Romans 8:5-7 presents a stark reality:

“For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law; indeed, it cannot.”

This passage underscores the spiritual nature of our struggles. The mind is a battlefield, and the enemy seeks to sow discord through negative thoughts, doubts, and temptations. God commands us to take every thought captive, aligning it with His truth (2 Corinthians 10:5). Counseling Spiritual Battles requires understanding this reality.

Spiritual Battles Require Us to Put on the Armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18)

Paul provides a comprehensive strategy for spiritual warfare:

  • Belt of Truth: Truth holds everything together, enabling us to stand firm against deception.
  • Breastplate of Righteousness: Righteous living protects our hearts and minds from the enemy’s attacks.
  • Shoes of the Gospel of Peace: Readiness to share the gospel ensures we are always prepared to spread peace and reconciliation.
  • Shield of Faith: Faith extinguishes the flaming arrows of doubt and fear.
  • Helmet of Salvation: Salvation protects our minds, guarding us against discouragement and despair.
  • Sword of the Spirit: The Word of God is our offensive weapon; we use it to counter lies and temptations.
  • Prayer in the Spirit: Prayer strengthens and empowers us to wield the armor.

 

Spiritual Battle Plan – Practical Steps

  • Identify the Thought: Recognize when negative or ungodly thoughts enter your mind.
  • Evaluate the Thought: Determine if it aligns with Scripture and God’s truth.
  • Reject the Thought: Actively dismiss thoughts that are not from God.
  • Replace the Thought: Substitute the negative thought with a Scripture or truth about God.
  • Refocus Your Mind: Engage in activities that center your thoughts on God, such as prayer, worship, or reading the Bible.

Sometimes, our spiritual battles require more than personal discipline and Bible reading. We may need the support and guidance of a trained Christian counselor. Christian counseling provides a safe and supportive space to process past wounds, address current struggles, and develop spiritual growth and resilience strategies. We specialize in Counseling Spiritual Battles.

This includes facing the intense emotions of ANXIETY, GRIEF,  COMPULSIVE BEHAVIORS, SADNESS, and DRAWING CLOSER TO GOD so that you can live out your life in purpose and strength!

Online Christian Counseling

You may have concerns:

“Can a counselor truly help me through a phone or computer?”
  • Healing from emotional pain requires both knowing and being known. True change occurs through relationships. Therapy provides a safe place to be understood when you feel isolated. It is a temporary space for learning, growth, and practicing new ways of thinking and living.
“Will you understand what I’m going through over a screen?”
  • The first session focuses on listening. The beauty of being online is that facial expressions and posture are still very readable. I listen and observe too deeply to understand your unique struggles and their origins. Proverbs 18:13 states, “If one answers before he hears, it is his folly and shame.” I will listen first. Then, we will collaborate to chart the right course forward.
“Will I depend on a stranger forever?”
  • I consider myself a solution-focused therapist. I don’t want to draw your struggles out—I want to address them and get you back to living your life the way God intended! However, the duration of therapy varies. Some experience relief after a few sessions; others need more support. The goal remains constant: to facilitate your growth and obtain peace. Christian counseling emphasizes deepening your relationship with God, applying His principles, and seeking His guidance to overcome life’s challenges.
“Is online therapy as effective as in-person therapy?”
  • Let me assure you: it is. As a fully licensed and insurance-recognized therapist, I offer the same professional expertise and compassionate care online as I do in a traditional office setting. The only difference is the setting. Research consistently demonstrates that online therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy for a wide range of mental health concerns. You will receive the same quality of care, dedication to your well-being, and integration of biblical wisdom, all from the comfort and convenience of your own space.
