Imaginary, ridiculous and farcical are the three most common forms of Spiritual Warfare. These is also praying at wolves from a helicopter (invented by Sarah Palin) and stirring up fear about Islamic Centers in New York City, invented by the False News Network.
Those are the top 5.

yeah what else can I add to that?
The Armor of God
10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of TRUTH buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of RIGHTEOUSNESS in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the GOSPEL of peace. 16In addition to all this, take up the shield of FAITH, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of SALVATION and the sword of the HOLY SPIRIT, which is the word of God. 18And PRAY in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.
Know that Jesus is the TRUTH.
Be RIGHTEOUS.
The GOSPEL is the story of Jesus’ birth, life, death and resurrection.
Have FAITH always in God.
Receive SALVATION from Jesus.
be filled with the HOLY SPIRIT by reading your Bible and learning what a close relationship with Jesus is.
PRAY and ask God for everything and thank Him for everything and pray for others too.
Contending with this world can at times be like walking through a field sown with land mines. Attack can come from any quarter, and the enemy tries to catch you unawares. Rest assured, though, that God has supplied all the protection you need.—1 Corinthians 10:13.
Worldly entertainment, such as immoral films and television shows and wild music, is effective bait. Some claim that they can watch immoral scenes or read immoral literature without being affected. But one person who regularly watched sexually explicit films frankly admitted: “You never forget those scenes, the more you think about them the more you find yourself wanting to do what you’ve seen . . . The movie makes you think you’re really missing out on something.” Is it worth running the risk of being wounded by this subtle attack?
Another missile in the enemy’s arsenal is the lure of materialism. The danger can be difficult to discern because we all have material needs. We need a home, food, and clothing, and it is not wrong to have nice things. The danger lies in one’s perspective. Money may become more important than spiritual matters. We could become lovers of money. It is good to remind ourselves of the limitations of wealth. It is transitory, whereas spiritual riches last forever.—Matthew 6:19, 20.
If an army’s morale is low, the chances of victory decline. “Have you shown yourself discouraged in the day of distress? Your power will be scanty.” (Proverbs 24:10) Discouragement is a weapon that Satan has used effectively. Wearing “as a helmet the hope of salvation” will help you to combat discouragement. (1 Thessalonians 5:8) Try to keep your hope as strong as Abraham’s. When asked to offer up his only son, Isaac, in sacrifice, Abraham did not hesitate. He believed that God would fulfill His promise to bless all nations through his offspring and that God could raise Isaac from the dead if necessary in order to fulfill that promise.—Hebrews 11:17-19.
As you carry on in this fight, remember Jesus’ words: “Take courage! I have conquered the world.” (John 16:33) He conquered by remaining vigilant and keeping integrity under trial. We can do the same.
The best way to get correct answers to your question is to ask God to reveal what His word is saying
to you, ask the Holy Spirit to open the eyes{spirit} of your understanding and reveal what He is saying to you in the scriptures. If you are sincere God will honor your request
James 1:5-6
(5) If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him (6) But when he asks he must believe and not doubt.
This is true because He revealed His word to me when I ask and will for anyone that is sincere and believes.
Spiritual warfare is anything contrary to Gods word, it is also when someone/something comes against you, as a Christian you should understand that it is not that person but Satan working through that person through them remember when Jesus tried to tell the disciples about His coming death and Peter said, he wouldn’t let anyone hurt Jesus….Jesus responded to Peter, “Get behind thee Satan” He was not calling Peter Satan but speaking directly to Satan because even though it sounded good that Peter wanted to protect Jesus…in reality it was Satan trying to stop Jesus from going to the cross because Satan knew Jesus was going to die for the world that they might be saved. This is why we are told to test the spirits sometimes Satan uses deceit to cause us to stumble or fall. This is why we should also pray for discernment and why we need to put on the whole armor of God.
