Spiritual warfare refers to the struggle between good and evil forces, often depicted in religious contexts. It involves the belief that individuals face challenges not just in the physical world but also in the spiritual realm. This concept is commonly associated with various religious traditions, including Christianity, where it emphasizes the need for faith and prayer to combat negative influences. In spiritual warfare, practitioners may engage in specific practices such as prayer, fasting, and scripture reading to strengthen their spiritual defenses. The goal is to resist temptations and overcome obstacles believed to be caused by malevolent entities or forces, often referred to as demons or evil spirits.
