SPIRITUAL WARFARE

   For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against ...the spirit forces of wicked in the heavenly [supernatural] sphere.~Ephesians 6:12

   The Attacks of Satan against the Church are of a different nature than those in the past days-different in that they are more intense than ever before. The enemy doesn't use the same tactics over and over, because once his method of attack is discovered, it is no longer effect.

 More and more people are experiencing tremendous attacks against their minds. Many of God's people are being attacked with sickness. Many of them are experiencing great financial trauma. Many are enduring great attacks of fear.

   How you can fight these attacks from Satan is to:

1.Praise is one way , Put on the garment that will protect you from defeat. Put on the garment of praise.

2.Abiding in Christ and fellowshipping with Him is one of the best ways of engaging in spiritual warfare. Hiding yourself in His presence will protect you.

3.The Word of God is a two-edged sword. Your mind is the battlefield so fill it with the Word of God. When Satan says something to you, speak the Word back to him.

4.Walking in love is another form of spiritual warfare. Love gives: it is impossible to defeat Satan while leading a selfish lifestyle.

Use all of your spiritual weapons provide in God's Word.

Never ever give in nor never ever give up. Praise the Lord at all times. Speak the Word of God constinitualy. Abide in Christ, live by His Word. Walk in the Spirit of love at all times. Use these weapons and begin to fight in a new way.

The Battlefield is in the Mind.

...we lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ [the Messiah, the Anointed One].~2 Corinthians 10:5~

   According to 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, the mind is the battlefield. We are in a war, but it is a spiritual war that must be fought spiritually with spiritual weapons.

   Using our spiritual weapons, we refute the enemy's lies, arguments, theories, reasonings and every other thing that tries to exalt itself against the truth of God's Word.

   We must take our thoughts captive and not indulge in the fleshly luxury of receiving and meditating on every thought that falls into our heads. We must exercise ourselves to "think about what we are thinking about.' This will take some discipline and practice.

  The primary weapon with which we do battle is the Word of God used in various ways-preached, taught, sung, confessed, meditated upon, written, and read.THe Word of God has a cleansing effect on our minds and lives any way we use it.

   You can win the battle in your mind-every stronghold can be torn down and every deception uncovered. Don't settle for anything less than complete freedom! Set you mind on the Word of God for it will renew your mind and set you free. Have the mind of Christ!

   Are you struggling with issues in your life, and frustrated because you have never had a breakthrough no matter what you do? You will never win if you are fighting your battles alone. God has never lost a battle for He always has a battle plan for you. When you follow His plan you will always win the battle.

   Worship is a battle position! As we worship God for Who He is and for His attributes, those attributes are released in our lives. Worship God for His ability and might, and you will see them released on your behalf. Try bowing down a few times each day and giving thanks. Just be sure that your heart is in what you are doing. Working formulas or entering dead works never produces anything of value.

   Follow God's battle plan for it is enjoyable, unique, and effect. When you begin to lift up your hands and begin to give praise and worship in the midst of your battle will confuse the enemy. Take your position, and you will see the enemy's defeat. Begin to worship the LORD, tell Him how much you love Him. Bow down and thank Him for His goodness and mercy. Worship Him for Who He is, not just for what you need from Him.

Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors and gain a surpassing victory through Him Who loved us.~Romans 8:37
