The Battle-Spiritual Warfare Scriptures
Welcome back, I hope you are all well and in Good spirit. For this post I will be briefly touching spiritual warfare, Like me if you’re a believer in God who is living like salt and light in a dark world, whether your running ministry, evangelising, teaching or preaching you will not go for long before encountering spiritual warfare!
Believe it or not we are in a battle in this world, although we may not see it, often forgetting it’s there and we skip along in the meadows of our calling. Now when we are starting something new be it, a new year, business course ect. The enemy would love nothing more than to start it off with discouragement and defeat, bringing fear and stress. Believe me I have encountered my own battles with the enemy and have over come the obstacles and attacked that he has thrown my way.
Do Not Fear and Do Not let him win.
As God reminds us in His word, the bible.that we are to stay alert and aware of Satan’s schemes, and He instructs us stay close to Him and to seek His face always.
He arms us with the sword, the Word of God, to stand against the enemy’s lies. He had equipped us with strength, wisdom, and discernment through His own Spirit, that dwells in us, to stay strong in the spiritual warfare battle.
God invites us to spend time in His Presence, through prayer and worship, pressing in to know Him more.
As we grow in wisdom to know God’s Truth and what is real, we also gain knowledge knowing what is false. We become stronger in standing against warfare in the powerful name of Jesus. God will never leaves us to fend for ourselves in this dark world, He reminds us that He is constantly with us in battle, fighting for us, even when we cannot see or feel as if He is.
It is important to read His word and praying God’s words back to Him, This is a powerful weapon against the forces of evil.
As it is Truth and it reminds us that God knows and understands what we are facing and where we are at!
It helps to build our faith and trust in God. As well as guarding our hearts, refocusing our minds back on Him.
Prayer + God’s Word = Power
