In review, there are four major aspects to spiritual growth.
- The first, General Spiritual Growth, had to do with lines of communication. Who or what are we listening to? These studies had to do with our attitude. We learned how to love God and the things of God and how to hate the things of the devil. General Spiritual Growth divided into two parts and, therefore, two studies.
a. We learned how to open up four doors of communication with God (Right things we needed to be constantly allowing to enter into our life - Study One).
b. We learned how to close three doors of communication with Satan (Wrong things we were regularly allowing to enter into our life - Study Two).
- The second was Sanctification Spiritual Growth (Study Three).
This type spiritual growth was dealing with things that were already in our life. |

These were habits and addictions that were contrary to the plan of God. We learned how to GET the things of God and how to GET RID OF the things of Satan.
- The third was Preventative Spiritual Warfare (Study Four).
This type of spiritual growth had to do with those things that were trying to get into our life that we don't want in there. This one was dealt with by means of the full armor of God. We learned how to KEEP the things of God and how to REMAIN FREE from the things of Satan.
- And now, we will be examining the fourth aspect of spiritual growth which is Ministerial Spiritual Warfare (Study Five).
This spiritual warfare is in behalf of others. We will have come all this way in spiritual growth and success so we will be able to protect, defend, and deliver others from satanic attack and satanic domination. We will become the front line of defense for those who can't protect themselves. We will learn how to protect others and how to train them to protect themselves.
