Christian Spiritual Warfare Focuses On Christ and Not The Destruction of the Enemy

Psalms 6:4. Again Christian spiritual warfare focuses totally on conquering the human mind in order for us to take on and keep the mind of Christ. Spiritual warfare does not focus on the destruction of the devil, the flesh, enemies, the world, or death. These things are already defeated. These things can only have dominion over us if we let them. We only need to protect ourselves from these distractions. The real goal of Christian spiritual warfare is to take on the mind of Christ. We do this by faith, prayer, knowing God's Word, and intersession. In Psalms 6 David shows us how to conduct spiritual warfare. We do it through prayer and reminding God of His promises (Psalm 6:4 "Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake"). We do it by intersession. Yes, even interceding for our enemies. They need salvation as much as we do (Psalms 6:8-10, "Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping. The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer. Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly").
