The Holy Spirit in Spiritual Warfare

Bible Summary. The Holy Spirit enables us to conduct spiritual warfare by taking on the mind of Christ. Without the Holy Spirit in us, we are ineffective in conducting spiritual warfare. The Holy Spirit will only leave us when we are in sin. The Holy Spirit gives us power over sin and the power to resist the Devil's deceptions. The Holy Spirit is our encourager in that His presence in us reveals that we are children of God. See below for more commentary and Biblical advice concerning the Holy Spirit and spiritual warfare.
