SPIRITUAL WARFARE
-
Satan attacks God today chiefly by
attacking and hindering God's children and by seeking to
deceive, harm, and damn all of unsaved humanity.
Satan's efforts can be defeated only by engaging him in
Spiritual Warfare on two levels -- Angelic Warfare
and Our Prayer Warfare.
-
God's desires that you maintain a
militant spirit , ever ready to take the initiative for
God against sin and Satan . This means you must be
vigilant and knowledgeable of the methods of Prayer
Warfare ( i.e. Spiritual Warfare) .
-
-
Spiritual Warfare is joining Christ in
driving out and defeating Satan and in setting his
captives free . It is advancing against Satan's
strongholds and dislodging and expelling his demon
forces . It is enforcing the victory of Calvary against
Satan's deceptive schemes and defeated spirit--helpers.
-
Make no mistake about it - Spiritual
Warfare is fought in the Context of Prayer. It is only
when we pray that we invite God to intervene in earthly
affairs. The Father would not in any way enter the arena
of man's dominion without being invited in Prayer to do
so .
-
-
When we pray, we are going to be resisted
by Satan. This is where we can expect him to press his
attacks and fight most fiercely. The most intense
conflict comes in the Battle to Pray. But Prayer is a
must for every Christian.
-
The battle line is drawn and it is
imperative that Christians, particularly, those
struggling to extricate themselves from the claws of the
devil avail themselves of the chance to delve into the
following books:
-
-
* Commanding power in offensive warfare
-
* The spiritual missiles revisited
-
* At Midnight
-
* The blood of Jesus Christ in Spiritual
Warfare
-
-
They must imbibe and utilize the living
truths outlined in them to enable them exercise
Commanding Power for positive results.
-
The author deftly throws light on the
terrain in which the devil operates and advances to
marshal clearly the biblical truths which reveal the
power we have to tap on, the defensive as well as the
offensive weapons we are to use to neutralize the
machinations of the devil and, in fact, destroy his
power base.
-
Besides the strategies for achieving the
same have been succinctly analyzed and the exegeses
impeccably presented in the books.
-
The devil is brandishing his deadly
weapons, his stance set like a charging rhino; and his
target: the unsuspecting Christian. With his multiple
operational schemes the devil is battle-ready on the
spiritual plane to maim or kill and in other situations,
to whiplash and bludgeon his victims into submission.
-
But God has not left us at the mercy of
Satan and his cohorts. He has built up an arsenal of
power-packed weapons exclusively for use by every
enquiring Christian to counteract the onslaught of that
dangerous foe.
-
It is important for us to know that our
prayers are used by God in a very special way to break
the powers of darkness. When our prayers are mixed with
God’s frankincense and cast back into the earth, there
is a powerful display of lightning, thunder and an
earthquake (Rev 8:3-5).
-
A typical example is recorded in the Book
of Acts:
-
"And when they had prayed , the place
where they were assembled together was shaken; and they
were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the
word of God with boldness" ( Acts 4:31, NKJ ).
-
When we send our prayers by the Holy
Spirit to God's throne in Heaven, He sends them back in
a way that can be seen, heard and felt here on earth.
-
Apply God’s own Spiritual Missiles by
releasing them through the Word of Command. The Angel at
the Altar in Heaven will mix them with heavenly
frankincense and cast them down as Spiritual Bombs unto
the evil powers warring against you.
-
This was exemplified by Paul and Silas in
prison. They sent praise and prayer up to the throne in
heaven. The Angel at the Altar sent Spiritual Bombs
down which shook the earth and set the prisoners free.
-
The Word says , " But at midnight Paul
and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God , and
the prisoners were listening . Suddenly there was a
great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison
were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened
and everyone's chains were loosed" ( Acts 16:25-26, NKJ
).
-
-
Ephesians 6:17 states, " Take the Sword
of the Spirit". The Holy Spirit will endorse and
empower your use of the Word in prayer. In this context
it means the Holy Spirit will endorse and empower your
application of the Spiritual Missiles in prayer.
-
Just as in human warfare soldiers use any
weapon which will help them attain victory, so in
spiritual warfare apply as many of the Missiles as the
Holy Spirit may lead you.The weapons of our Spiritual
Warfare, says Paul, are not defensive weapons, but
weapons of attack ( Cp.2 Cor.10 :4--5).
-
It is noteworthy that Jesus' entire
ministry was a combat against the demonic forces. The
Church of Jesus Christ must do likewise. It is only
through prayer that the Church can exercise this
ministry.
