Spiritual Warfare

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. - Ephesians 6:12

One of the most vital scriptures when it comes to the Christian warfare can be found in Ephesians Chapter 6.

Paul explained the type of warfare we are into. Knowing the type of fighting you are fighting is one of the requirements for victory. Many folks today fights the wrong battle, pray the wrong prayers and even apply the wrong weapon.

The battles of a believer are not carnal, they are spiritual in nature. A believer who rather than fights spiritual fights physical will always be Lose.

Our fights is against the devil and his cohorts. They are the real enemy we must faced. What the devil does is to use human agents against us and it will be very wrong if we are focused on fighting humans beings because the devil will simply find another person to use against you.

A spiritual battle require spiritual strategy. Physicality has no power when it comes to spiritual warfare. The devil is our common enemy, guns and knives doesn’t have any effect on him.

A Christian can’t fight like the unbeliever, there are weapons at the disposal of a Christian that can be use in this spiritual warfare.

When you know who your enemy is, you will not take him lightly.

When you take up God’s armor, you are ready to enter the battle.

When you fight in God’s strength, you will not be defeated.

And the good news is this: we faced a defeated foe. Although his very wicked and evil, we will always overcome because Jesus has fought and won it for us all.
