SPIRITUAL WARFARE

By
Real Estate Agent with Weichert Referral Associates

 

     As Christian I think we are called to spiritual warfare everyday. Unless you live in a cave it should be obvious the demons that are society sends against us each and every day. Fortunatately as it does for everything else the bible has something to say about what is expected of us.

ll TIMOTHY 2:3-4

You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

Noone engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life;that he may please him that enlisted him as a soldier.

1 TIMOTHY 6:12

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life,to which you were also called and have confessed the good confessionin the presence of many witnesses.

God call us into the fight to defend our faith. Do we here his call?

EPHESIANS 6:11

Put on the whole armor of God, rhat you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

The armor of God is found in his word, If we do not spend sufficient time in his word we will be ill equipped for  the spiritual warfare that we face every day. If we stay strong in the word of God HE will give us the pwer nd authority to cast the demons out of our life. And as we learn to cast out our own demons we will then be equipped to hit the ground running and battle the demons that confront us and those around us every day.

 

1CORINTHIANS 4:2

" MOREOVER IT IS REQUIRED IN STEWERDS THAT ONE BE FOUND FAITHFUL.

 As in everything else if we are going to live a life of faith we must be found faithful in the eyes of the Lord, through obedience, through prayer through living in and sharing the gospel and through our faith and our part in spiritual warfare.

 

         GOOD NIGHT AND GOD BLESS

Hugh, you are so right. I have found that the more I study God's word, the easier it is for me to dissuade the enemy in the world and inside me. Thank you for your post.

Yes indeed!

We must always be prepared because,

1Pe 5:8... Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

And those are the ones not prepared with the Word of God!

Great Post Hugh!

I'm back!  Now, spiritual warfare is real.... but it is in the spirit realm.... we do not struggle against flesh and blood but we "feel" the effects through flesh and blood ... now, we are not ignorant of the devices of the enemy, and as you've said Hugh, we must FIGHT this good fight of faith!

Now, if the devil comes to steal, kill, and destroy.... we know that what's meant for us can be stolen..... our good health, our joy, our attitude, our hope and trust in the LORD.... etc.  

The FIGHT is to continue to believe what GOD has said about us regardless to what's seen.  We do this by letting the mind that was in Christ Jesus be in us.... staying in  HIS Word  Yes, we must DO everything you've said.  The good news is.... we can help each other out, praying for one another,,,,,, we are in this together!

Father in the name of Jesus, i pray for my sisters and brothers in the faith.  I pray that their faith fails not, and that we put on the WHOLE armour of GOD, stay in Your Word, and continue in prayer, one for another, amen.

Diane,

 Now that's a comment. I heard something today that expounds on this post. Whatever you are willing to compromise on you will lose. When satan comes at us we must be like a brick wall I will not compromise on what i believe(Which is the word of God) if we don't compromise satan will than we win we cast him out but if we compromise even a little he wins and we lose.

To continue on with your comment, if we hold the thoughts that the enemy would try to plant in our minds captive, such as negativity, envy strife, etc, then we will be more than conquerers, and more than overcomers through Christ Jesus. We WIN!~

Hugh...I find the encouragement that 'our fight is not against flesh and blood' particularly helpful when I'm angry or frustrated at someone. Often times, they're just bringing out a part of me that needs correction.

One of Jesus' promises is that in this world we will have many troubles.  That's not a promise many like to hold on to, but it's a fact.  Take heart...he has overcome the world.  Rock on.
