1 John 1:6-7
[6]If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
[7]But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

There is nothing in the world, only the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life is in the world. Life starts and end with Jesus Christ.

1 John 2:16
[16]For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

Your enemy is not the person you are seeing face to face, your enemy is the demon/spirit working through them, satan uses people to get to you, they are just vessels unto him, so you pray against the spirit working through them, the earlier we understand this, the better.

Ephesians 6:12
[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.

Absolutely, Christ in his infinite knowledge showed us:

43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’

44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

Matthew 5:43‭-‬45 NIV

If not he'll ask us to go tooth for tooth.

Thank you, I needed to reflect on this again.

You are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
As a born again believer who has the holy spirit dwelling in you, your righteousness is not a filthy rag.

2 Corinthians 5:21
[21]For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

A simple prayer: father, bless me In Jesus name,

can do wonders if prayed very well with faith.

It's a scriptural prayer which jabez and Jacob prayed.

Sure. Using scriptures during spiritual warfare is very effective.

The more you know who you are in Christ, the more you know who you are as a member of Christ, the more you see more results of the authority you have in Christ Jesus, satan doesn't want us to know these things, that you are seated with Christ at the right hand of the father in heavenly places, on a throne far above evey principality, might and dominion. Let this be your reality, let this sink inside of you as you meditate on it always. When Christ was raised from the dead, he brought us(SONS) into the place of glory.

Hallelujah!!

Ephesians 2:5-6
[5]Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are savedwink
[6]And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

As a believer, whenever you are feeling carnal or getting drawn to the things of the world, please pray for long and the carnality will be subdued. There is something that tarrying long in prayer does to your spirit man, it suffers the flesh and quickens your spiritman, when the flesh is weak(due to spiritual exercise), the spiritman becomes strong.

The battle is in your mind, the mind is a battlefield. If the devil can get through your mind, he has won you, he doesn't need to fight you physically, that is why you should be careful and guard your heart, filter things you behold and things you listen to or watch, cause the devil is roaring around looking for who to devour, and how foes he do it by influencing your thoughts and your mind.
2 Corinthians 10:4-5.

2 Corinthians 10:4-5
[4](For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holdswink
[5]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;


David said in Psalm 101:3 I will set no wicked thing before my eyes.

No matter how spiritual you think you are, if you keep feeding your eyes with those immoral pictures and secular movies, you will keep battling with the spirit of lust in your mind because the mind is a battlefield. The devil doesn't fight you physically, he fights your thoughts and your mind. The battle is in your mind. The devil has influenced a lot of people in the media.

Guard your hearts my dear friends, filter what you hear and watch.

The only thing that you eyes should behold on a daily is the word of God, to be word-minded is to be spiritually minded. The word will help you keep a pure mind and heart.

I am a new creation. Old things have passed away. I have received the spirit of sonship, I sit together with Christ in heavenly places, I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, I am saved by grace alone not by my work lest I should boast, I am seated with Christ at the right hand of the father in heavenly places, my location in the realm of the spirit is Zion, I am currently in Zion. This is my reality in Christ Jesus.

Glory!!!

No amount of casting, binding and warfare prayers will make the spirit of lust to leave you alone if you are still beholding sexual contents, no matter how subtle it is whether pictures, videos etc, the devil is very tricky and we need to be as wise as a serpent, you cannot be tempted with what you do not think, this is the pure truth, you don't defeat lust by doing only warfare prayers, you renew your mind, avoid sexual pictures and movies, stay with the word, meditate on the word, the spirit of lust will run away from you, the bible says resist the devil and he will flee from you, resistant is active, so long as we are on this earth, we will keep resisting the devil and his wiles..

Never underestimate the benefit of praying in tongues for hours, praying in tongues for hours build you up (Jude 1:20), he that pray in an unknown tongues edifies himself(1 cor 14:4), edify means to build, when you tarry longer, you are able to transport some realities to this our natural realm and you can only do that by consistent prayers.


Have a consistent prayer life.

One thing I have discovered is that praying constantly in tongues opens you up to your destiny.

But it's not automatic. The more you pray in tongues and read your Bible, the more your destiny is opened to you. Romans 8:27
