Fight Back

We find ourselves in a spiritual warfare and we are unaware we are even fighting a war. There are 3 basic things to help us FIGHT BACK!

.

KNOW YOUR WEAPONS

Included in basic training, one must not only learn how to use their weapon, but also be able to disassemble and put it back together. In knowing your weapon, the scripture of II Corinthians 10:4 says we must:

• Know we have weapons – with the purpose being to engage in warfare.
• These weapons are not carnal – which is far more dangerous, capable of handling unseen targets.
• The weapons have divine power – they are God enabled weapons.
• The weapons can pull down strongholds – which the enemy creates for his advancement.

“These weapons can tear down the reasoning that attempts to divert people from the Gospel.” – Pastor Billy R. Johnson.

The weapons are described as wearable because the scripture asks you to “put it on.”

“At all points and in every situation, you should be strapped with the armor of God.” – Pastor Billy R. Johnson.

 

Then What is Armor? (Ephesians 6:14)

• Truth – Jesus is the way and the truth.
• Righteousness – a quality that has been gifted to us.
• Peace – Peace of God, from God & with God. A oneness. (Ephesians 6:15)
• Faith – The conviction of the truthfulness of God. (Ephesians 6:16)
• Salvation – Have been saved, being saved, one day will be saved. (Ephesians 6:17)
• The Word – The Word is likened to a sword.
• Prayer – Powerful enough to interrupt temptation.

“God has not just allowed you to engage in warfare, but to win.” – Pastor Billy R. Johnson.

KNOW YOUR ENEMY (Ephesians 6:11)

Get to a place where you recognize you are fighting against a spiritual enemy, as we are wrestling against principalities and powers.

KNOW YOUR CAUSE

Knowing what you are fighting for will elevate your fight.  You have Kingdom Causes you are fighting for, and the armor that we put on can enlighten us to what those causes are. (The armor being – truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, the Word, & prayer).
