Know the wepons of your warfare

On a daily basis we are all faced with issues and problems. Many times we try to fight our daily battles on our own through our flesh with no avail. Have you ever been faced with a situation that you thought you could fight on your own and win the battle against the situation on your own? Then after you do all that fighting you become weary and tired in your fleshly body? I know that I have tried to fight many battles on my own and every time I would fail and I would not come out of the situation victorious. I forgot that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but are to the pulling down of strongholds, and that we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and wickedness in high places. You see the devil is a coward, he will inflict you with a bunch of issues and then run and hide among the high places. He sits in high places because he is too much of a coward to come down and fight us. That is why God is calling us to higher places in him so we will have the spiritual power and weapons to fight the enemy in his own camp. God has called us to be warriors in the spirit realm to pull down the strongholds of the enemy and take a stand against him. However, in order for us to get to the place where we have the weapons to fight against the wiles of the enemy, we need to get our guidance and direction from God on what to do. How do we get our weapons, by praying and seeking God. Through our prayer time God will give us the strategies to fight the devil and beat him down to the ground. You see God will equip you with the tools you need to break down the strongholds of the enemy. Remember the enemy comes to steal kill and destroy. The enemy's only quest is to strip you of what God promised to you. It is up to you to fight the good fight of faith and stomp the enemy on his head. Remember the joy of the Lord is our strength and that is what the enemy is seeking to steal from us is our joy. If he is victorious in steeling our joy then he is winning the battle, but you have the power to overcome the enemies desire to steal your joy, by remaining alert and aware of the distractions and blows the enemy tries to bring against you. Stay strong, and stand against the enemy when he tries to steal what the Lord God Himself promised you. Its war time, fight for what belongs to you! And when the enemy is coming against begin thanking God because all that really means is that a blessing is around the corner. So fight against the enemy, take a stand for God, keep your Joy, and thank God cause your blessing is around the corner!
