*Spiritual warfare*
Wrong perspective
▶Rest passively in the security of Christ.
▶view as fanatical
▶effect n cause (scientific proof)
But...
Need to be vigilant
✝SCRIPTURE
2 Corinthian 10:4
4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
Ephesians 6:12
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
John 10:10
1 peter 5:8
Enemy roar ard like lion
What we see in our enemy?
Invisible
Evil
Attack Christian
How many kingdom in this world?
1 John 5:19
2 kingdoms - in God & of the world. Whole world in evil one.
Everyone Belongs to God/world(evil one). No 3rd category.
Where do u belong?
Kingdom of Light or darkness.
Belongs to Christ (In Christ, otherwise subject to satan's dominion/influence). No sitting on fence.
Entertainment political, socially education etc industries
Prayer: Gain dominion..
1 John 4:4 u are children of God & overcome the world. In the world but not of the world. **Greater is He in me than the one in the world***
God is infinitely more powerful.
Victory is ours bcoz we hv weapons.
Every Christian made in God image & destined to rule..in Christ.
Ephesians 1:19+
Jesus Gvn all power n authority. Everything under his feet.
What God want man to do?
Genesis 1:28
Fill the Earth & subdue it(take dominion), Fruitful n rule. DOMINION when Jesus go to the cross.
What Christian must aware of characteristic satan's vile.
1) Opposition with someone hearing about Jesus Christ.
- distort by enemy.
2 Corinthians 4 blind the eyes/rebel bck.
2) doubt God's goodness. Doubts are lies! Even using scriptures by Satan on Jesus,
3) condemnation - not of God. Accuser of brethren. Roman 8:1 no condemnation in Christ. Self pity.
God brings conviction, repentance & reconciliation.
4) deception. John 8 *father of lies, no truth in him. (Native language) lure us to compromises, half truth (still a lie).
5) satan comes to divide God's ppl of God. Taken the Bait / offense? Hurt, unforgiveness.
How to win the warfare?
Spiritual weapon/ resources.
In Christ we can use them.
1) be prayerful
Crucial! Enemy is invisible. Prayer..in tongue.
ARMOR of God 6 pieces
7th piece is prayer, activate the other 6 pieces. Pray tap in his power. W/o prayer, like fridge.
2) Be spiritually healthy. Develop strong spiritually immune system. Fellowship, read bible.
Identify the problem
Sin problem?
Solution: crucify the flesh.
Take up the cross *daily & follow me.
Demonisation problem?
Cast it out in the name of Jesus.
Bondages problem?
Deliverance.
3) Be fearless.
Authority in Jesus Christ
1 John 4:4 in us is greater.
Delegated power that Christ given to us. (Like eg policeman Gvn delegated authority)
Be strong. Exercise our authority.
Satan is a bee w/o stinger, buzzing only.
***Believe & act on it***
🙏🏻PRAYER
I need to Be prayerful!!
