Spiritual Warfare

WARFARE AND PRAYER


 Many people that read this will want to know about Spiritual Warfare so I will from time to time share about:

 Strategic Spiritual Warfare 
We are always to focus on spiritual warfare as that against the enemy and people or their practices are not the targets of our Prayer.  We Pray FOR People and Against Principalities, Powers and against the rulers of darkness of this age and spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places as written in

12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Definition of Strategy:, a word of military origin, refers to a plan of action designed to achieve a particular goal. In military usage, strategy is distinct from tactics, which are concerned with the conduct of an engagement, while strategy is concerned with how different engagements are linked

1 Timothy 1(NLT)

17Glory and honor to God forever and ever. He is the eternal King, the unseen one who never dies; he alone is God. Amen.18Timothy, my son, here are my instructions for you, based on the prophetic words spoken about you earlier. May they give you the confidence to fight well in the Lord's battles.19Cling tightly to your faith in Christ, and always keep your conscience clear. For some people have deliberately violated their consciences; as a result, their faith has been shipwrecked.

We are  not to fight the way people fight in the world


(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 
The world fights with deception, violence, anger, degrading others, protests, etc.  It at times a Christian may find themselves in the middle of worldly fights but that will never be where their really victory will be made. Real victory and healing of our land comes when Christians humble themselves and pray... as in:

2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV 

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray , and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 

The Christians are the ones that win war through prayer and through the principles of Christ. We don't need to insist that the world repents to see the victory God says if "we" (Christian's) repent and turn from our wicked ways, seek His face then...... God will hear And act!

There are consequences of sin all sin but the ultimate wage of sin or  cost of your sin is death. The only way out of this is what Christ did on the cross.  God loves People He hates Sin and that is the most important thing to remember when in spiritual warfare.  The second thing that I will be talking about this topic is that All Spiritual warfare is about one thing Thy Kingdom Come on Earth as it is in Heaven. It's about reaching the world with the gospel!

 

 Don't forget about this weeks homework and spend time meditating and or studying on the 

NAMES OF GOD
