THE REALITY OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE

Ephesians 6:12 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.

2 Corinthians 10:4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds


The above scriptures tell us that we are in a raging spiritual warfare.



THE NATURE OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE

1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.



Scriptural spiritual warfare is the warfare of faith. It is not a fight to defeat an enemy. All enemies have been defeated by Jesus. It is a fight that involves using faith to enforce our victory in Christ JESUS.

For instance, if you feel the symptom of sickness, if you order the sickness to go; then you just kick started spiritual warfare; because you now have to maintain your stance about the sickness by your faith.

If you encounter a demon and ask it to leave in Jesus name, you just kick started
spiritual warfare; because now you have to enforce his leaving by your faith.

If you need a job and you ask it off the father, you just kick started spiritual warefare; because now you have to maintain that you have received the job by faith.


Every time you carry out a spiritual activity that requires faith, you kickstart spiritual warfare; because you now have to war with you faith.



YOUR STANCE IN SPIRITUAL WARFARE

Ephesians 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Ephesians 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Ephesians 6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;


All you need to do in spiritual warefare is to stand. Jesus has won all the victories all you need do is to stand fast in faith and maintain the forth by enforcing the victory.


THE ARMOUR OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE

Ephesians 6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

The more of the truth you know the more prepared you are for spiritual warfar, because real spiritual warfare is a truth encounter. The enemy comes against you with lies and you counter his lies with the truth. The truth is God's word. John 17: 17
