PRAYER
|
The sent out seventy-two believers
complained to Jesus that they cannot deliver the demon-possesed. "Why
couldn't we drive the Spirit out?",they asked Jesus. "Only prayer
can drive this kind out," answered Jesus,"nothing else can." (Mark
9:29)
|
FASTING
|
Isaiah 58:6 says, " Is this the fast which I choose, to loosen the
bonds of the yoke, and to let the oppressed go free, and break the
yoke?". Of course, prayer and fasting must go together.
|
THE
WORD OF GOD |
Jesus used the WORD of God (quoting bible passages) as a weapon against
Satan in their encounter in the desert. In Matt.4: 7 Jesus answered,
"It is also written : Do not put the Lord your God to test.". In Eph.
6:17, it says, "Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the
Spirit, which is the word of God."
Quoting Scripture passages can therefore drive the devil away.
|
THE
BLOOD OF JESUS |
When tempted or in danger, ask God to cover you with His precious
blood. Revelation 12:11 says "They overcame him (the devil) because
of the blood of the lamb". This we remind Satan of his defeat at the
cross when the precious blood of Jesus was poured out to atone for
our sin, reversing the curse and breaking the hold of the enemy on
mankind.
|
PRAISE AND
WORSHIP |
Praise and worship defeats Satan and drives back the powers of darkness.
For example in II Chronicles 20:21-22 when Jehoshaphat faced the foes,
instead of sending out soldiers he sent out those who sang praises
to the Lord and they won.
|
FAITH
|
"Take up on the shield of faith which you can extinguish all the flaming
arrows of the evil one". Eph 6:16. So when you pray, believe that
God is powerful and is on your side.
|
TESTIMONY
|
Still in Rev 12:11 "They overcame
him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony…"
And in Luke 4:18 "He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and recovery for the sight of the blind, to release the oppressed."
So declare the TRUTH about GOD's goodness and how He saved you.
|
"Finally, be strong
in the Lord and in His mighty power. Put on the full armor
of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes." Ephesians 6:10-11
Warning!
The enemy will not fight
sitting down. So be fully prepared
when facing the enemy, else
he'll defeat you.
PREPARATIONS FOR WARFARE
"Boot Camp"
Receive Jesus Christ in
your heart as personal Master, Lord and Savior. If you have not yet
done this, please click here.
Repent of any known sins
. You must be spiritually clean
so Satan won't have a hold in you.
Walk in humility. Pride
will result in your downfall because it is a big sin. It was the cause
of Lucifer's downfall from being an angel in heaven into a devil on
earth.
Pray for blood covering
and protection... for yourself and for your loved ones because the enemy
wrestles back and fights dirty. In fact, we encountered so many harassments
when we started working on this page.
Ask others (the spiritually
mature) to back you up in prayer.
Persevere. A quitter never
wins.
Expect harassment but do
not fear. Remember that Jesus already won the victory 2,000 years ago.
Look back to the cross and His resurrection.
React the right way (attitude).
Because we live in a corrupt world, terrible things can happen to Christians
too. Don't blame God for it.
Do it for the glory of
God (not for your own renown).
Happy warfare!!!!!!!!!!!
