2 Corinthians 10:4-5 discusses spiritual warfare, saying, “The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”
Ephesians 6:11-13 – Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.
1 John 5:4-5 – For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
In these times today there is a lot of warfare going on. It is spiritual. It is between the light and the dark. But what is the secret to understand ing warfare.
It refers to the conflict between light and darkness and good and evil. It is a fierce battle that the enemy wages for the mind and soul of the individual believer. The enemy knows once he captures the believer in these areas, he has won the battle. He is relentless and ruthless in his struggle against the believer. Warfare is a term used to describe the conflict that exists between the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of darkness (Col. 1:13). As a result of the fall of man, we see that it was God who put the enmity between the seed of the serpent and the seed of the woman (Gen. 3:15).
One is prayer (read 6:18). Prayer is personal dependence on God, and every part of armor that we’ve talked about must be interwoven with prayer. Turning to God is personal, dependent prayer at the beginning of each day and in the intervals between your daily situations is crucial to effective spiritual warfare.Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For 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.We must know it, love it, obey it…and use it against the enemy when he comes against us. Satan hates the Word and will do anything he can to prevent us from knowing it and applying it in our lives. He knows it contains the truth and has the power to transform who we are!Jesus said, “But when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be troubled; for such things must happen, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom (Mark 13:7-8).” While Palestine was peaceful under Roman oversight, however, the Jews were Heavenly Father, I’m asking You to give me eyes to see, ears to hear, and a heart to receive Your correction and guidance, as I seek a faith revolution in my life—a dramatic turnaround in my thinking, believing, speaking and acting. I ask You to give me the strength to hold strong in the days ahead.
SALVATION PRAYER
Lord Jesus; Please come into my heart as my Lord and Savior. Take complete control of my life and help me to walk in Your footsteps daily by the power of the Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord for saving me and I know you will answer my prayers. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
