  • The spiritual battle, the loss of victory, is always in the thought-world. -- Francis Schaeffer
  • Faith, prayer, and the Word of God are the weapons God provides you with to fight spiritual battles. -- Jim George
  • Prayer plumes the wings of God's young eaglets so that they may learn to mount above the clouds. Prayer brings inner strength to God's warriors and sends them forth to spiritual battle with their muscles firm and their armor in place. -- Charles Spurgeon
  • Considering the notion that the spiritual battlefield is infinitely greater than the physical, perhaps God is more willing to bless with a sort of divine ecstasy those who see the devil as the enemy rather than those who see other people as the enemies. -- Criss Jami
  • There is enough mystery in human nature to keep the world stuck in a perpetual state of righteous speculation. Only the wise and compassionate will rise above it, with enough vision to see that inconsistency is a normal occurrence, during the spiritual battle of forgiveness and justice. -- Shannon L. Alder
  • It is good for God's people to be put in a place of longing so they feel a slight desperation. Only then can we be empty enough and open enough to discover the holiness we were made for. When we are stuffed full of other things and never allow ourselves to be in a place of longing, we don't recognize the deeper spiritual battle going on. -- Lysa TerKeurst
  • By laughing at me, the audience really laughs at themselves, and realizing they have done this gives them sort of a spiritual second wind for going back into the battles of life. -- Emmett Kelly
  • You have to expect spiritual warfare whenever you stand up for righteousness or call attention to basic values. It's just a matter of light battling the darkness. But the light wins every time. You can't throw enough darkness on light to put it out. -- Thomas Kinkade
  • People are drawn to the spiritual. It has a universal appeal. -- Kathleen Battle
  • When I do concerts and recitals, the two most common requests are spirituals and opera. -- Kathleen Battle
  • In spirituals, the talk of heaven and deliverance was code for a better life. 'Crossing the River Jordan' was code, of course, for escaping to freedom. -- Kathleen Battle
  • From the spiritual came the blues, gospel, and rhythm-and-blues. I heard all of that music growing up, and that has influenced how I approached classical music. I'm sure of it. -- Kathleen Battle
  • Wherever and whenever I sing, if there is only one spiritual on a program, people will talk about two things afterward, and one of them will be the spiritual. What I bring to this is the best of my classical training - not all of it. I apply what is appropriate. -- Kathleen Battle
  • How many of the original songs survive intact from the slave cabins? Probably not many in their original form. Time has transformed them like light in a prism. What we hope to present is a version of those spirituals, and they speak not just to black Americans, but to people worldwide. -- Kathleen Battle
  • I bring my classical training - some of it, but not all of it - and also my background and culture, to spirituals. And I try to leave room for that unpredictable factor, where the feeling of the song is allowed to come through. The same ethos can be applied to singing Mozart, or Schubert, or Bach. It's not just about what's on the page. -- Kathleen Battle
  • Spiritual warfare is the unseen battle God wages on your behalf. -- Jim George
  • In the prayer time, the battle of the spiritual life is lost or won. -- E. Stanley Jones
  • Although spiritual growth puts our wills to the test, after the battle has been won, we recognize that the Lord is the true victor in the struggle. -- Max Anders
