Sharing my thoughts, experiences and passions about church ministry and life in general. More than likely what you read here will be worth what you paid for it.
This past week we finished up the 3rd section of our class, Spiritual Warfare 301! You guys are doing great! Last week we learned about the Helmet of Salvation and the Sword of the Spirit, two of the most important pieces of the Armor of God. The Helmet of Salvation protects our mind and allows us to enter battle unafraid and with assurance of our Salvation. The Sword of the Spirit, the Word of God (Rhema – spoken word, or words given to us by the Spirit of God) is for use to do
close, hand-to-hand combat with the lies and deceptions of the enemy. Note that the sword is both a defensive
and an offensive weapon. Hebrews
4:12
Here are the 5 Steps for Engaging the Enemy in Spiritual Warfare: 1. Prerequisite is a Healthy spiritual life 2. Understand your position in Christ 3. Discern when Demonic influence may be the cause 4. Claim God’s promises Out Loud (1 John 4:4, 1 John 5:4-5) 5. Take our Authority and Position in Christ to command demonic forces to cease their activity and Depart!
Just like a soldier training for battle with their sword, and all
of their armor, we too must train ourselves to use our Sword and do
battle with the enemy. What
steps can you take to sharpen your skills with your sword? Tonight we will be talking about the Power of Prayer, and more specifically intercessory prayer, so make sure to be here, you don't want to miss out!
