ALL OUT WAR – SPIRITUAL WARFARE I

For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds; Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

2 Corinthians 10:4-5

We have often heard it said by pastors, theologians and Bible Scholars that we are living in a time in earth’s history where sin is pervasive, hence, it has become necessary for God’s people to pray more. The devil has escalated his attacks on God’s children in every area of their lives. Marriages are destroyed by the minute, homes and hearts are broken, and sicknesses and diseases claim many lives by the hour. It is not a time for God’s people to lie down their guard and allow the devil to steal their purpose and destroy their lives. He wants control of our minds, the powerhouse of our thoughts and emotions. He knows that if he can possess our minds; he has us. Therefore, he will bring sickness, death, diseases, confusion, fear, anger, bitterness and ruminating thoughts that are targeted at intimidating and manipulating us into surrendering to the darkness.

God’s people must be vigilant and run to Him for help when in danger instead of running to others who cannot help us. Sometimes the attacks can become severe and it can become disheartening, hence you might just want to relax and not do anything. Wrong! You are making the biggest mistake of your life. Your house is on fire and you need to strap on your armor; the word of God, the shield of faith, persistent prayers, praise and worship, and trust Him completely. We should also pray for others because God still does miracles and as we press into His presence daily and wholeheartedly, build a relationship of faith and trust in Him. He will answer our faithful prayers. 

He knows what is going on in your body, in your marriage, at work, and with your children. He has the answer for all of life’s perplexities, including how to counteract Satan’s attacks. Whatever you are facing today, I encourage you to cling to Jesus in faith. Pray more and you will experience Him in ways you never imagined. Get up and Fight, Fight, Fight! No Retreat!

Psalm 84:11

For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

Isaiah 55:6-7

Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:

Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

Jeremiah 29:13

And ye shall seek me, and find me when ye shall search for me with all your heart

2 Corinthians 2:11

Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
