How to Fight Spiritual Battles in an Unspiritual World

When we came to earth, the hosts of heaven drew the veil between our eternal home and our new mortal home. Without the knowledge we had once attained of our Heavenly Parents and Savior, we would be able to grow and progress as we feel our way after God and learn to discern His voice. So much of life is based on faith and belief in what we are not permitted to see with natural eyes. That blessing can come once we are completely prepared like previous prophets who had the privilege of seeing the Lord face to face. Until then, we need to keep believing, keep reaching upward, and nurturing our testimonies.

With this earthly experience always before us, it is easy to be caught up in all that the world has to offer. There is so much beauty and refinement but the many influences that draw us away from God damage our spiritual standing before the Lord. President Thomas S. Monson reminded us, “We are spiritual beings having a human experience.”1 If we focus only on what we are doing while we live on this planet, we will miss the grand and glorious promises and blessings of spiritual growth.

The Lord taught us about the importance of remembering our eternal natures in Doctrine and Covenants 29:34-35. “Wherefore, verily I say unto you that all things unto me are spiritual, and not at any time have I given unto you a law which was temporal; neither any man, nor the children of men; neither Adam, your father, whom I created. Behold, I gave unto him that he should be an agent unto himself; and I gave unto him commandment, but no temporal commandment gave I unto him, for my commandments are spiritual; they are not natural nor temporal, neither carnal nor sensual.”

Everything that the Lord has given us has been to bring us back into the presence of our Father. Understanding that everything we choose to bring into our lives either draws us toward or takes us away from our God should help us fight the spiritual battles of our day. We can pray and fast for the blessing of discernment or a greater portion of the spirit to recognize how our choices affect whether we are winning or losing those battles.

Hollywood seems to be the modern face of Babylon. There is no reverence for God. Sacred things have become lewd and are flaunted all over the media. The battle that started in heaven when the great serpent made war with Christ has not ended, it has only changed locations. This time, however, we must use faith to fight these battles for our souls. The adversary who once worked in secret is openly fighting against Christ and His principles.

President Nelson asked us to make our homes places of safety and to never stop preparing ourselves. 2 We cannot afford to let down our guard. In these last of the latter days, we will see great opposition that looks like trends, fads, offenses, distress, etc. that are attacks on our moral agency. The adversary persuades us gently and draws us away from Christ little by little.  Know that these threats have everything to do with the plan of salvation in action throughout eternity and much less to do with time only. Can we hold out true and faithful? Can we avoid the traps that the adversary has set? Yes, we can. We do that by evaluating every philosophy, every idea, every activity that we participate in. Does it bring light and truth? Does it foster a desire to serve others? Does it bring peace? Is it accompanied by the presence of the Spirit of Christ?

As we strive to truly evaluate what we are spending our time on, we will be alert and aware to the adversary’s attempts to pull us away from the truths which we cherish. We will be able to see clearly as we make decisions to protect ourselves and our families.

  • eviews and comments can be helpful most times. permit me to share that, in the first week of November 2025, I was convinced to invest in a fake Altcoin cryptocurrency platform through someone I connected with on Telegram , which I did but unfortunately after investing my money I discovered I could not withdraw or access my account on the fake platform. Lucky for me, I came across a review on funds recovery and I contacted Coinsrecoveryworldwide Service, and through their help and support I was able to recover my money. Losing money trading crypto can be frustrating but I am happy today that my funds are recovered and I wish to share with you their contacts as i know i am not alone on this boat, nobody deserves to be in such situation.

  • As I sit down to share my story, I am reminded of the tumultuous journey I have been through, and I hope that my experience can serve as a warning and a beacon of hope for those who may be going through a similar ordeal. My name is Adriana Karssen, and I am from Belgium. A few months ago, my life took an unexpected turn when I fell victim to a sophisticated scam that resulted in the loss of access to my cryptocurrency wallet. The aftermath was nothing short of devastating, as over $570,000 worth of cryptocurrency vanished into thin air in a matter of hours.

    The initial shock and disbelief gradually gave way to a sense of desperation as I reported the incident to my exchange and filed a complaint with the relevant authorities. However, as the days turned into weeks, I began to feel a growing sense of frustration and helplessness, as the progress on my case was slow and inadequate. It felt like everything I had worked hard for was slipping away, leaving me with a deep sense of loss and disillusionment.

    In my search for possible solutions, I scoured the internet for any glimmer of hope, and that’s when I stumbled upon Digital Light Solution. What struck me about their approach was the professionalism and the reassurance that they offered. Despite my initial reservations, I decided to take a chance and reach out to them, hoping against hope that they might be able to help me recover my lost assets.

    As I look back on that fateful decision, I am reminded of the importance of perseverance and the need to stay vigilant in the face of adversity. My experience has taught me that even in the darkest of times, there is always a way forward, and it is this message of hope that I wish to convey to those who may be going through a similar nightmare. By sharing my story, I hope to raise awareness about the risks associated with cryptocurrency scams and the importance of seeking help from reputable sources.
