Spiritual Warfare: Everyone Should Be Armed

The enemy is just like an NBA or NFL head coach. He will not bother with the teammates on the sidelines, the ones not called to play regularly. Satan focuses on the players on the court, which pose the biggest threat. He studies their strategy and their weaknesses, so as to know exactly where to hit them, for the win, and your defeat. God is the winning coach. Follow His direction and Satan is defeated every time.

In the heat of the moment, or in the middle of play, sometimes we forget the strategy, and drop the ball. That will happen, not to worry. Just pull from the instruction manual, pick up the ball, and run again. Never give in, and never give up. I promise you, as I am a walking testimony of His Glory, if we focus completely on the Lord, His goodness will be revealed.

Everybody, at sometime in their life, will drop the ball, and cannot seem to recover it. Satan is all about the lie. He can convince the best, at some point, they just aren't worthy, or good enough. If not caught early, and resisted with zeal, doubt can get a foothold. It becomes imperative in everyone's life, to let go of troubles, and trust completely in the Lord. We can't begin to conceive of the many ways He will work behind the scenes in our lives, for the best plan for us, and for His Glory. Oftentimes, He will wait until the darkest hour to reveal His Glory, for reasons best suited to our needs.

So, as we strive harder to be a disciple of Christ and make a difference, Satan will blindside us, when we are not ready. Before you know it, evil works can be all around us, and it seems there is nothing we can do about it. In my recent dificulties, I have struggled with grieving, but, at the same time God's Grace has carried me through. I have prayed with others experiencing attacks in their lives, and feel hopelessness.

When the enemy's attacks become overwhelming, the only one able to fight our battle is God. We are still responsible to do our part, which is rebuke the enemy, fight in and through the Holy Spirit, and stay solid in our faith. In seeking to help others, I have realized many do not have the Spiritual Warfare Prayer, nor use it. I encourage you with all my heart to stay persistant in seeking Him, wait for as long as it takes for an answer to your specific need, and do not waiver. First get into worship and praise of the Lord, so as to loose all stray or ungodly thoughts, and be completely in the Spirit. Then, recite the Spiritual Warfare Prayer:

I put on the full armor of God that will quench all the firey darts of the evil one.

I put on the helmet of salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, and I gird my loins with the belt of truth. My feet are shod with the preparation of the Gospel of peace, and I pick up my sword, which is the word of God. I pick up my shield of faith that will quench all the firey darts of the evil one.

I put on my crown of honor and glory, the mantle of zeal, the robe of righteousness and the garments of praise. I put on the Lord Jesus Christ and I put on the armor of light.

I cancel every arguement, every negative confession, every word curse, every judgement, every bad report, every hex, every jinx, every spell, every backlash, and every retalliation that Satan has assigned against my life and the lives of my loved ones, in Jesus name. I cancel these assignments with the name and the blood of Jesus Christ.

Father, I call for the warring angels of God to be dispatched on my behalf, to destroy every assignment that Satan or any demonic influence has against my life, or my family's lives, in Jesus name; Amen

I plead the blood of Jesus over our mind , will , and emotions; I plead the blood of Jesus over our hearing that we might hear the voice of God, and obey the commands of God, and the voice of the liars would be silenced, in Jesus Holy name; Amen!

I nuetralize the powers of darkness over my unsaved loved ones with the power of the cross and the name and the blood of Jesus Christ.

Father, I ask that you open the door to my loved one's hearts to receive the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and that righteousness would be poured out from Heaven into their heart, so that righteousness and salvation can sprout up together in Jesus Holy name; AMEN!!!

Copy and paste into notepad, print, and keep it with you. Say it with someone, if at all possible, but, you can achieve ground on your own. Keep a copy with you and say it throughout the day, as often as possible. Eventually, you will memorize it. Each segment has its own significance, so don't shortcut. Believe! and God Bless you...

The Constant Friend We Don't Always Remember

The Holy Spirit is the third member of the Holy Trinity, along with the Father and the Son. All three are God in different forms. Most Christians don't even understand the concept, and too often the Holy Spirit goes ignored, or worse, denied. It is the worse form of blasphemy to deny the Holy Spirit (Mat 12:31-32). Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is unforgivable.
*
We pray to either God or Jesus for our needs on a regular basis. Evangelists do not teach much on the Holy spirit, and other Christian, or Bible believing churches never mention the Spirit, or Holy Ghost. The Catholic Church involves the Holy Spirit in all teachings and prayers. Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin, Mary. After Jesus died and was risen, He returned to His disciples again, and advised them the Holy Spirit would come to help them. Because Jesus died for our sins, we are given the opportunity to have the Holy Spirit dwell in us.
*
John 14:15-16, "If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate, to be with you forever."
*
The Holy Spirit intercedes on our behalf to help us. He is the Spirit of truth who abides with us and in us. When Jesus comes into our heart, the Holy Spirit mediates His presence to us. Experiencially speaking, to have the Holy Spirit, is to have Christ. The Holy spirit will teach us all things and will bring back to our memories spiritual things we have forgotten.
*
There are times I have testified to someone, and I spoke words or scripture I had no knowledge of going into the conversation; that's the Holy Spirit. He empowers us to glorify the Lord. He convicts us of sin when we slip, so we can repent, and be regenerated. I have been looking at a difficult situation, prayed to the Lord to let the Spirit take charge of the situation, and I glide right through the situation unscathed.
*
I know exactly when the Spirit is in total charge of my body. I focus on Jesus with all my heart and without provocation I receive a light static electrical charge from the back of my head to the ankles. Its almost like a chill or when we get goose bumps, but, distinctively different. I then have peace and strength like no other time. If we could train ourselves to utilize the Spirit more regularly, without forethought, we would be invincible.
*
The Holy Spirit is just waiting for us to give up control, or doing things our way, to give us victory in all areas of our lives. So many times I've heard Christians refer to Jesus as their co-pilot. I say they are sitting in the wrong seat. If we train ourselves to pray as though we were talking to God sitting right next to us, we would eventually turn control over to Him.
*
The Holy Spirit not only teaches us and enables us to understand scriptures, He speaks to us through scripture. Many times I have been praying about something in particular, and led right to scripture that gave me a specific answer. There have also been times something was disturbing me or effecting me and I was unaware of its significance; the Holy Spirit gave me a 'heads-up' through scripture.
*
The main thing is devoting as much time as possible to focusing on the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. We all too often tend to forget the presence of God in our life, especially the times we need Him the most...when we don't know we need Him. It is hard to understand, at first, but, persistence is key. If we just give up our will and let His Will be done, it really works, I promise.
*
We tend to always pray to God to do this or that; to make things happen in our lives. We have the power in us when we have the Holy Spirit in control. We need only to speak to a difficult situation or illness to heal it. We were given the power when Christ took all the torture for us. Its not necessary to track down a preacher or 'healer' to pray over our loved ones illness. We have the same power as any human that has complete faith in Christ, through the Holy Spirit.
