What does “spiritual warfare” mean, in Rick Perry’s religious world? NAR?

As a non-religious man, my first thought was of Satan when I saw the words “spiritual warfare.” They can be seen as pretty hard-hitting words, IMO.

What does Perry mean by spiritual warfare?

As an evangelical Christian, Perry most definitely means what a huge majority of evangelicals would answer to your question: He specifically means Ephesians 6:1

“12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

That’s just my opinion, but I’d bet that Perry knows that verse almost by heart and has used it on many occasions.
