Many Christians find it difficult to accept that there is a spiritual world around them that they cannot see. Although people may believe in God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, they can be reluctant to believe that the world is full of good and bad spirits. Many Christians do not want to think about the idea of demons, Satan and hell and this makes sense in a way as these are frightening. However, a good introduction to spiritual warfare might be through first developing a love of your guardian angel and an understanding of the role which God has given them in accompanying us through life to arrive at heaven.
