What is the difference if any between spiritual and psychological warfare?

Sometimes when individuals, particularly Christians, are having problems, it is often regarded as spiritual warfare-something intended to make them a better person. However,sometimes it seems like psychological warfare. For example, a letter that should reach in X days has taken more than a month; and its content is needed urgently by the recipient.How does the person benefit spiritually if the letter contains money but because of the delay in arriving the person is hungry, develops headaches, gas and other health problems? Other Christians not in the situation talk about having faith; but faith does not put gasoline in the car nor food on the table nor stop a rumbling belly.

    Spiritual warfare is a subset of psychological warfare. It's an internal battle within your brain which you have chosen, consciously or subconsciously, to frame in spiritual terms. Which terms you use will depend upon your spiritual beliefs. But the same battle could be fought in secular terms as well.

    The book of Job tells of god killing innocents and torturing people to make a point to satan. The bible sees it as spiritual warfare but, in reality, if it happened, it is the story of a man who suffered various calamities for various reasons, none of which had anything to do with a bet between god and satan. Sometimes life deals you a winning hand and sometimes life deals you garbage. The former isn't the result of your faith (wheter it is in god, luck, the stars, or magick) and the latter isn't a result of your lack of faith.

    The bible in Proverbs says to trust in the Lord ... lean not to thine own understanding.."

    Faith is the substance of things hoped for not yet seen

    To understand spiritual warfare... you would be a believer in God already, perhaps Jesus Christ, read the bible to some degree.

    Deliveries and the regular order of what should happen and the circumstances you are actually are going through in life are not the same. Expectations, desires and even godly ones are taken offf course of what one believed should happen.

    Most people would not starve themselves but go to a state agency, foodbank, church of some sort to seek food. Even a bank to obtain a short order loan or monies by some lawful means.

    Source(s): Psychological warfare can just be like politicing between nations, groups, and even those opposed to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Further lying and trickery may develop and continues in that mode as unfriendly like communications.

    We that are Born returned Christians can inform you haven't any longer any theory the meaning of the the word Christian. we does no longer stick to adult males like Marxism for he use the call of Christ to no longer convey soles into the dominion yet use it to earnings administration over the dominion. God will use adult males like Hitler to convey some replace in his human beings for with out the improve of Hitler Israel does no longer be a u . s . immediately. The Roman Empire fell because of the fact worshiping a stone would not minimize it and Jesus became working wonders in the Christan community. As for Jesus rejection did he no longer say that they had no potential over him except God had given it to them. God remains working immediately giving salvation to all that asked and once you're Born returned there is not any doubt in you in any respect with regard to the dominion of God for you're a factor of it.
