"No weapon that is formed against you will prosper and every tongue that accuses you in judgment you will condemn. Resist him, standing firm in the faith." 1 Pet. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." 2 Cor. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. "For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. "You are from God, little children, and have overcome them because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world." 1 John 4:4ģ. It guards our hearts and focuses our minds back on Him. It builds our faith and our trust in God. It reminds us that God knows our way and understands what we face today. Praying God’s words back to Him, is a powerful weapon against the forces of evil. He never leaves us to fend for ourselves in a dark world, but reminds us He is constantly with us, fighting for us, even when we cannot see.

He invites us to spend time in His Presence, through prayer and worship, pressing in to know Him more.Īs we grow to know God’s Truth and what is real, we also know more what is false, and we are stronger to stand against it in the powerful name of Jesus. He equips us with strength, wisdom, and discernment through His own Spirit to stay strong in the spiritual warfare battle. He arms us with the sword, the Word of God, to stand against the enemy’s lies. If you're a believer who is living like salt and light in a dark world, you won't go for long without encountering spiritual warfare - obstacles and attacks he'll hurl your direction. God reminds us in His word to stay aware of Satan’s schemes, to live alert in this world, and to stay close to Him.
