SPIRITUAL WEAPONS OF WARFARE 9
Hello everyone, in these series of teachings, we have dealt with issues like WHAT THE BIBLE HAS TO SAY ABOUT DEATH, WHY WE ARE ON EARTH, THE RESEMBLANCE BETWEEN THE DAYS OF NOAH AND NOWADAYS, THE SKILLFULNESS IN BEING LED BY GOD, HOW GOD SPEAKS TO US, SPIRITUAL TRANSPORTATION AVAILABLE TO US, PRAYERS POINTS THAT ENHANCE REVELATION and some other topics. If you have missed any of the broadcasts, go to the blog and read it. Make jottings and research on those topics.
Today, we are moving to another aspects.
THE CHRISTIAN ARMOUR

It is good to know that that God has not left us defenseless against the various enemies that have arisen and will yet arise against us as believers. We have an armory of weapons at our disposal.
 Even though our God is LOVE, full of Loving kindness and tender mercy yet, in His mercy and compassion, He is a man of war and mighty in battle. He has a division of His servants that specializes in fighting.

There are some believers that just that believes Christianity is a bed of roses, Jesus has done everything for you. All you have to do now is to be enjoying. Heeeee!
That is for Kindergarten Class in the Body of Christ. Apostle Paul talks about fighting the good fight of faith, he talked about fighting some beasts in Ephesus. 1 Cor. 15:32.
 In Revelation 22, the Bible says there was WAR IN HEAVEN and in the same book, you will discover that Jesus will lead His body to fight Two WARS; AT ARMAGEDDON AND GOG & MAGGOG. But, there is nothing to worry about, victory is CERTAIN.

Even though, Jesus has won the victory for us, there are times you have to fight to maintain what you already have. Sometimes, it is like a Defending Champion fighting to defend his Belt in the ring. Paul says to fight THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH. 1 Tim. 6:12. This is the ONLY FIGHT THAT IS GOOD.

We are going to start out looking at the weapons discussed in Ephesians Chapter Six. After that, we will consider some others scattered in the Scriptures.

 Eph. 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
 Eph  6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
6:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;  6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:  6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
I will like to deal with this passage verse by verse.
Verse 10 tells us to be STRONG IN THE LORD. Don't put confidence in anything you have. Whether it is wealth or any other thing. Woe is upon those who trust in the ARM OF THE FLESH.
We are to be strong in the Lord and IN THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT.
Christianity is never a powerless religion. It is not even a religion; it is the life and power of God finding expression in a human vessel. Once you remove POWER from the Christian faith, then Christianity is POWERLESS. Nobody can be saved again because, it takes POWER TO SAVE A SOUL. Rom. 1:16, Eph. 1:18-23. God saved you with power. The Kingdom of God advances through demonstration of power and authority. Hallelujah.
Many are preaching BECOMING LIKE JESUS and they only emphasize His Holiness and nothing is said about His Power. Listen, the doctrine of GODLINESS (GOD-LIKENESS) is incomplete if the curriculum doesn't involve demonstration of power and authority.

Put on the WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD so that you can be able to stand against the wiles (methods, cunningness) of the Devil. The Devil is very thrickish. You need the whole armour of God to stand against him.

The next verse tells us the hierarchical structure of our enemies.
We are not fighting against FLESH AND BLOOD. Remember that flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God. 1 Cor. 15:50.
 You see some of the challenges with the part of the body of Christ that emphasise spiritual warfare more than others is that they have gone into the EXTREME of thinking that humans are their problem.
The real enemy is the Devil. He only uses human being. If you kill the human being, the demon in charge will look for another  human vessel and the battle continues.
 We are combating PRINCIPALITIES, POWERS, RULERS OF DARKNESS OF THIS WORLD AND SPIRITUAL WICKEDNESS IN HIGH PLACES.

The Spiritual Wickedness in Heavenly places are the controller of the Demonic realm from the SECOND HEAVEN while the RULERS OF DARKNESS OF THIS WORLD controls the affairs of the infernal realm from the earth and they give command to POWERS while the POWERS give instructions to the PRINCIPALITIES. The organogram of the Devil's operation is not our subject of discussion.
However, a closer study of the subjects of Demonology reveals that we have Demonic entities over regions. Study Ezekiel. 28 and Dan 10. I will still explain further when I talk about Angels in the course of these broadcasts.
I will stop here today.
Tomorrow, I will about YOUR LOINS BEING GUIDED WITH TRUTH.

Prayer of Enquiry

By
PRAYER OF ENQUIRY Prayer is a well established and accepted doctrine in all denominations of the body of Christ. Although, there are differences in our modes of prayer, we all believe in the efficacy of lifting up our voice to God to hear our requests and answer them. As much as we do a lot of this, we don't take the full advantage of it as children of God. We would rather worry and think things through rather than calling on God for help. This can be due to lack of faith in the power of God or being slothful in prayers. Apart from the aforementioned factors that prevent us from enjoying the efficacy of prayers, one key factor that prayer hinges on is praying correctly. To pray correctly simply means to pray according to the will of God. It is easy to know the will of God about sickness and poverty because they are expressly written in bible, but even at this, we still do not get answers when we pray. What you might be missing out may be a simple enquiry. The prayer ...

Holy Spirit 15- The Seven Spirits of God- Part 2

By
We have established yesterday that the 7 Spirits of God describe the 7 fold distinct manifestation of the Holy Spirit and it also describes the perfection of the Spirit of God. The answer to yesterday's quiz is: when God stepped into the matter in Eden, the 7 persons brought by the number 7 are: Adam, Eve, Physical Serpent, spiritual Serpent (the Devil), the Seed of the Woman (Jesus the Christ), the seed of the spiritual serpent (Antichrist) and God Himself . Re- read Day 14 to know how this fit in. Today's Broadcast 2. THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM Is. 11:2, Eph. 1:17 This is the Spirit that reveals to you the PLANS AND PURPOSES OF GOD CONCERNING YOUR LIFE, A MATTER, PLACE, etc. If you will ever know why you are on earth, you need the operation of the Spirit of Wisdom. He reveals EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING about the future. There are 3 prominent Greek words used for Wisdom relevant to our subject; SOPHIA, SUNESIS and PHRONESIS. A. SOPHIA describes the entire wisdom of God. T...

Holy Spirit 4- The Symbol of Dove

By
Mt. 3:16, Mk. 1:10. This typifies the harmless and gentle nature of God the Holy Spirit. He neither FORCE NOR FUSS ANYONE. It is only the Devil that force people and even afflict them without their consent. The Holy Spirit IS NOT a dove; He created the dove. Luke 3:22 says 'the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form like a dove upon Him'. Many have wrongly interpreted this verse and that's why many church logos have the dove as an integral part of it. You need to know that the church can NEVER COME INTO HER FULL POTENTIAL AND RELEVANCE ON THE EARTH UNTIL SHE KNOWS (knowledge with participation-Greek EPIGNOSIS) the Holy Spirit. The person that designed the handbill for EPIGNOSIS Nite had already put a Dove there to represent 'the Holy Spirit'. I told him to remove it. The symbols in most cases are already becoming an idol in many people's hearts and rather than for many to think of the Holy Spirit as a person, they think of Him as a dove/fire/wind,etc. T...
