'' For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; '' 2 Corinthians 10:4The weapons of are warfare are spiritual and not carnal { or physical } ones . We are living in a spiritual battle field , therefore we must fight the battle in the atmosphere of the spirit where these weapons are available . ''For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: '' 2 Corinthians 10:3 The battle is fought in the spirit , because we have mostly spiritual enemies that operates against our destiny .
'' 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.'' Ephesians 6:12 The enemies of our life are spiritual entities .We are to take up our spiritual armours like faith, righteousness, truth , the gospel of peace , salvation and the sword of the spirit ''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.'' Ephesians 6 : 13
The armoury of the soldier in those days include , shield , helmet , sword , girdle, etc . The shield is the faith of the believer , ''Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.'' Ephesians 6:17 This means anytime you confess God's word over your situation , demons are been attacked with the sword of the spirit .
The helmet is the salvation we have in Christ , it is used to cover the head , especially the brain and this means the believer must have the consciousness of his or her salvation in mind during spiritual warfare . { Ephesians 6:17 } The girdle of the believer is truth { Ephesians 6:14 } The believer must be armed with these weapon of speaking the truth at all times .Another important weapon is the shoes of the soldier , which is also referred in scripture as the gospel of peace for the believer . { Ephesians 6:15 } It is a weapon to always preach the gospel that brings peace between you and people .
'' Finally , my brethren , be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might . Put on the whole armour of God , that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil '' Ephesians 6:10-11 The weapons of God must be uterlised against the forces of darkness . The last but not the least is the weapon of prayer, ''Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints '' Ephesians 6:18
Confessional prayer
From today I receive the grace to function with the weapons of our warfare , I put on the whole armoury of God in the name of Yeshua .
