In eight seconds Google found about 1,290,000 websites referencing spiritual warfare. While I haven't visited any of them I am assured I would prefer to spend my time in Ephesians 6. Many Christ-followers are consumed with the doctrines of those principalities, powers, rulers of darkness, and spiritual wickedness in high places that are attacking the church.
Books are written, seminars held, sermons preached, all to equip the church on how to fight the battle. They base it all on their personal stories and presumptions of the hierarchy in the darkness. I'm glad we've already been told what to wear to war.
It doesn't take secret strategies or intricate game plans. It takes a belt of truth, a breastplate of righteousness, a readiness to take the Gospel of peace everywhere, a shield of faith, helmet of salvation, and your sword, the Word of God.
As we climb to new heights in Him we will fight great battles against strong enemies, but "…the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God…" II Corinthians 10:4,5
Let's encourage each other to put on the full Armor of God so that we are ready for the fight… without having to check out all those websites.
