“Spiritual Warfare”

 “Spiritual Warfare”

 

For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal (human), but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the Knowledge of God, bring every thought into captivity to the OBEDIENCE of Christ.                           2 Corinthians 10:4-5 

 

We MUST PRAY for the people of the UKRAINE, our thoughts and prayers go out to ALL of the CHRISTIANS in that area.  They are facing WARFARE that is of HUMAN doing, and that depends on fleshly wisdom, human abilities, and physical prowess.  Yet we MUST PRAY for God’s DIVINE intervention, which would be GODLY wisdom, and GODLY power, which DEFINITELY SUPERSEDES human wisdom, abilities, and power.  

 

The TRUE BELIEVER, is constantly in a SPIRITUAL WARFARE, and in NEED, DAILY for PRAYERS for each other.  We NEED GODLY WISDOM, and POWER to help us be VICTORIOUS in the SPIRITUAL BATTLE. The ONLY WEAPONS we NEED are the WORD of GOD and PRAYER, they are the ONLY EFFECTIVE WEAPONS against Satan and his army.  

 

The WORD of GOD is LIVING and POWERFUL, and SHARPER than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the HEART. (Heb. 4:12). So, it is EXTREMELY important that you are READING, STUDYING, and APPLYING the WORD of GOD to your life, DAILY.  This will make sure that one of your SPIRITUAL WEAPONS is READY for BATTLE.  In order to help you WIN the BATTLE, you MUST have KNOWLEDGE of the WORD, and KNOW how to USE it.   

 

Your other SPIRITUAL WEAPON is PRAYER, there is NOTHING that puts FEAR in the Devil’s heart, MORE than when TRUE BELIEVERS PRAY.  James 5:16b tells us that: The EFFECTIVE, FERVENT PRAYER of a RIGHTEOUS person is VERY POWERFUL in its effect.  There is POWER in PRAYER, so, what is your PRAYER life like?  Are you SEEKING GOD DAILY and BELIEVING and TRUSTING in His POWER?  Are YOU ready for SPIRITUAL WARFARE?

 

If you have not given your HEART and LIFE to GOD, then you don’t KNOW about this SPIRITUAL WARFARE.  You belong to the Devil and are controlled by his influence.  This means that you are DOOMED to spend an ETERNITY in HELL with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY of ESCAPE, once you are there.  In order to CHANGE that DESTINY you MUST become a TRUE CHILD of God, and be WILLING to FIGHT the GOOD FIGHT, the SPIRITUAL WARFARE, through the WISDOM and POWER of the ALMIGHTY GOD, and His Son, JESUS CHRIST, who gave His Life to bring you ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS.  

 

This is what you MUST DO:  You MUST ADMIT that you are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, Jesus Christ.  You MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your sins to Him and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your sinful life-style, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION, for your ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS, and to be VICTORIOUS in your SPIRITUAL WARFARE.  So, do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!
