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- the war is spiritual. The armour or weapons are of God.

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].”

2. ‭‭On the cross and through His death, Jesus Christ disarmed satan publicly and openly, made him march down the road naked and 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. 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.”

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 and denounce every working 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 shown to destroy,  undo, loosen and dissolve the works which the enemy satan had done. 

I thank you because Jesus Christ disarmed satan and His demons publicly and openly on the cross and made them march down the road naked 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 my affairs 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 in the work of God across Planet Earth in the name of Jesus Christ.

I rebuke the working of the enemy on every village of every nation across planet earth in the name of Jesus Christ and declare 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.
