Is It Demonic or Just Me? Understanding Spiritual Warfare & Open Doors

Is it demonic oppression, spiritual warfare, or simply an area where you need more discipline and discipleship? In this episode of Between Sermons, Pastor Brent McQuay, Ti'heasha Beasley, and Pastor Jason Parks continue through Luke 9:28–43 and have an honest conversation about freedom in Christ, demon possession, spiritual oppression, open doors, footholds, strongholds, and what spiritual warfare can actually look like in everyday life. From addictions and unhealthy relationships to our thoughts, behaviors, habits, and the subtle compromises we often overlook, this conversation challenges us not to become obsessed with the demonic—but to become more aware of the authority and freedom we have in Jesus. They also unpack the difference between conviction and condemnation, why not every struggle requires deliverance, and how prayer, discipline, discipleship, community, counseling, and renewing your mind can all be part of walking in freedom. Ultimately, whether you're on the mountaintop or walking through a valley, the answer remains the same: be with Jesus, listen to Jesus, and bring your crisis to Jesus.
