Title: Weapons of our warfare not carnal (Part 1 of 3).
“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God,
and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;” 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 KJV.
Every child of God should be aware that they are at war. The war is not carnal or physical.
Point of reflection:
The word of God teaches us in Ephesians 6: 12-13 NKJV:
"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.
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.”
Every child of God needs to understand:
1. You are at war- the moment you acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord you become a threat to satan
and his demons and a legitimate target of the enemy satan and his demons.
2. The war is not physical but spiritual- your enemy are the forces of darkness, forces of satan and their ranks:
principalities, then powers, rulers of darkness of this world, spiritual wickedness in heavenly places, then satan himself.
3. You need to put on the whole armour of God- this armour begins with the correct understanding of the word of God
for your salvation and then for war -to live the life of a child of God in victory.
You are in the flesh- you have a physical body,
but you also have a soul (the mind and seat of intellect, emotions, will and conscience)
and a spirit (the part of you that was made alive when you received Jesus Christ), the war is spiritual.
Your mind needs to tap into the resources of the spirit, the word of Almighty God. The armour or weapons are of God.
Remember, the word of God is spirit and it is life.
John 6:63 tells us:It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.
You need to know:
1. Jesus Christ was manifested to destroy all the works of the wicked one satan:
1John 3:8 AMP says:
“[But] he who commits sin [who practices evildoing] is of the devil [takes his character from the evil one],
for the devil has sinned (violated the divine law) from the beginning.
The reason the Son of God was made manifest (visible) was to undo (destroy, loosen, and dissolve) the works the devil [has done].”
Hebrews 2:14-15 tells us: Inasmuch then as the children have partaken in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same,
that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and release those who through fear of death
were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
Through death on the cross Jesus Christ, destroyed, brought to nought and made of no effect, nullified the works of the wicked one satan.
2. On the cross and through His death and resurrection, Jesus Christ defeated and disarmed satan publicly and openly,
stripped him naked and made him march down the road in humiliation:
Colossians 2:15 NKJV says:
Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it (the cross).
3. Jesus Christ gave you authority over satan and his demons- power and authority over all the power of the enemy.
He said in Luke 10:18-19 KJV:
"And he said unto them, I beheld satan as lightning fall from heaven.
Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy:
and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” (see also Psalm 91:13)
Do you desire to make a declaration of the victory you have in Jesus Christ?
When you are ready-
Prayer of declaration:
Heavenly Father I thank you for sending Jesus Christ to suffer and die for my redemption and to give me authority over the enemy.
I confess the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life today.
I reject, renounce and denounce every working and influence of the enemy satan and his demons upon my life.
I ask you Father to fill me with your Holy Spirit right now.
I receive the abundant outpouring of your Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus Christ.
Thank you Father that Jesus Christ was made manifest to destroy, undo, loosen and dissolve the works which the enemy satan had done.
I thank you because Jesus Christ defeated and disarmed satan and His demons publicly and openly
on the cross, stripped him naked and made them march down the road in humiliation.
Thank you for giving me authority over satan and his demons in the name of Jesus Christ.
I, by faith rebuke satan and his demons upon my life and the affairs of my life and ministry in the name of Jesus Christ.
I rebuke the working of the enemy satan and his demons upon my family in the name of Jesus Christ.
I rebuke the working of the enemy satan and his demons in the work of Almighty God across Planet Earth in the name of Jesus Christ.
I rebuke the working of the enemy on this city, this nation and every village of every nation across Planet Earth in the name of Jesus Christ
and I command you to let the people of God go free.
I command you to bow and to let me go and serve God in the name of Jesus Christ.
Thank you Lord for the victory in Jesus Christ's name.
I remember the work of Planet Ministries this day, prosper it and open every door and
every avenue for this message to reach its intended targets across Planet Earth.
In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Year in Focus:
2025 The Year of the Overcomer.
His word says in 1 John 2:12-14:I write to you, little children,
Because your sins are forgiven you for His name’s sake.
13 I write to you, fathers, because you have known Him who is from the beginning.
I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the wicked one.
I write to you, little children, because you have known the Father.
14 I have written to you, fathers, because you have known Him who is from the beginning.
I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you,
And you have overcome the wicked one.
To overcome the wicked one you need the word of God to dwell in you richly, you need to know Him who
was from the beginning (to know God) and you need strong conviction regarding His promises to you. These are the three critical attributes of an overcomer.
He also says: Look among the nations and watch—Be utterly astounded!
For I will work a work in your days, which you would not believe, though it were told you (Habakkuk 1:5).
Almighty God wants to work a work in our day, in your day, in the work of the Ministry and in your own life,
which you will not believe even if it is told you. For you to be a part of what He is doing, you need to acquire and grow in the three critical attributes of an overcomer.
He says further:
Then the Lord answered me and said:
“Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it.
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie.
Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. (Habakkuk 2:2-3).
He says write the vision and make it plain upon tables that he may run who reads it.
As you enter another phase in your walk with God and as we enter a new phase in our calling as Planet Ministries, remember the vision is for an appointed time.
That time is nigh. Wait for it, it will not be late by one second. Remember Genesis 18:10-14; Genesis 21: 1-2 and Exodus 12:40-41.
a) What you need to know:
We are moving into a period of accomplishing the vision which Almighty God has set before us.
There is in the calendar of God something called the fullness of time.
The vision is for an appointed time and that time is nigh.
You need the knowledge of the Father and His essential attributes, a knowledge of the word of God- you need the word of God to dwell in you richly
(see also Colossians 3:16) and you also need strength of conviction.
As these three attributes increase in you, they will make you to become an overcomer of the wicked one.
b) What you need to understand (or have a revelation of):
1. There is in the calendar of God something called the fullness of time.
2. As we enter the fullness of time you need to continue waiting upon God.
3. You need a revelation of the essential attributes of God.
That He is good to you all the time. He is holy, that means He gets it right all the time ( Leviticus 11:44-45; His mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:23);
His loving kindness is better than life (Psalms 63:3), He is faithful (1 Thessalonians 5:24; Genesis 28:15; 1 Kings 8:56; Numbers 23:19-20; Isaiah 46:9-11),
He is righteous and He is just (Psalms 89:14). He promises to go before you. He says He will not fail you. (Joshua 1:5; Deuteronomy 31:6, 8;
1 Chronicles 28:20; Psalms 89:33-35).
c) What you need to do: Activities of 2025:
Run with the vision. Remember we are:
1. Witnessing the love of Jesus Christ and making disciples across the nations. (Matthew 28:18-20). Use every avenue available to you to send the message of the gospel.
2.We are praying and interceding to the God of the harvest to send labourers into the harvest. (Matthew 9:37-38; 1Timothy 2:1-5). Take time to pray.
3. We are faithful stewards of time, the mysteries of God and of substance. (Luke 12:42-44; Luke 16:10-12; 1 Corinthians 4:1-2; 1 Peter 4:10). Prayerfully examine your stewardship of time, mysteries
of God and substance.
4. We are light to the world- dispensing darkness- let your light so shine that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. (Matthew 5:14-16).
5. We are salt, condiment to the earth to give flavour and fight the unsavoury works of the enemy satan ( Matthew 5:13).
6. We release the fragrance of the knowledge of Jesus Christ - God wants to diffuse through you the fragrance, perfume of the knowledge of Jesus Christ as you allow the fruit of the Holy Spirit to
manifest in your life. ( 2 Corinthians 14-15).
d) In all this remember to have your own personal agenda with God as you stand on His promises.
He says in John 16:24: Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.
He says in John 15:7: If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.
He says in John 14:13-14:
And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.
He also says in John 15:16: You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the
Father in My name He may give you.
Remember, we have been given exceedingly great and precious promises that by these we may be partakers of divine nature. ( 2 Peter 1:4, John 16:24).
In this year of the overcomer, as you run with the vision, remember to have a personal prayer agenda with God.
Keep a prayer diary and tick things off, as He answers your prayers.
We love you as we invite you to be counted among the overcomers of the wicked one in 2025 and beyond.
As you run with the vision, we are praying for you and wish you a 2025 filled with the victory that comes from God.
In the service of Jesus Christ.
Apostle Dr Max and Joyce Matonhodze.
