Weapons of Warfare
“Strength of THE LORD”—“the
Power of HIS MIGHT”
prayer and supplication
in THE SPIRIT
watchfulness [spiritual
alertness] with perseverance and earnest request for all the saints
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;
And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your
obedience is fulfilled.
2 Cor 10:3-6 KJV
After we have put on the whole armor of GOD (Eph.
6:10-18), we still need to carry “the weapons of warfare.”
We need “the Strength of THE LORD”—“the Power of HIS
MIGHT. ”
The working of GOD’s Mighty POWER is incomparable,
immeasurable, unlimited, exceeding [great] Power for us who believe. By this
same POWER He raised Jesus from the dead and seated Him at His right hand [the
place of honor] in Heaven, far above all principality, and power, and dominion,
and rule, and above every title that can be given.
JESUS CHRIST is greater than every king or ruler or
dictator or leader. His honor is far more glorious than that of anyone else in
this age and the one to come. For GOD placed all things under His feet and
appointed Him to be head [the Supreme Head] over everything for the Church.
Read Ephesians 1:19-23; Psalm 8:6
Our strength must come from THE LORD's boundless
Mighty Power within us, so that we can stand our ground.
And how do we gain
access into this Power?
By prayer and
supplication in THE SPIRIT on all occasions.
To that end, watch
with spiritual alertness, with strong purpose, perseverance and earnest request
for [interceding in behalf of] all the saints.
So take up every piece of war equipment GOD
provides; so that when the evil day comes, you will be able to resist the enemy;
and when the battle is won each day, you will still be standing.
Those who put on the Heavenly armor but do not take
on the weapons can be outsmarted by the devil. And with the weapons of warfare
alone, you are not yet ready for the battle. So we need to put on the armor,
which is our body armor; as much, we also need the Heavenly armaments.
But, even with the armory and the weapons, it is The
LORD Himself that accomplishes the Victory in battle. He alone brings about the
triumph, and we are the chosen soldiers of His royal army. The banner over His
army is “LOVE.” He is “The LORD Of Hosts,” The LORD Strong and Mighty in battle
(Psalm 24:8, 10).
We overcome by the Blood of The Lamb (see Rev. 12:11).
Fitted with the whole armor of GOD, and with all the
weapons of warfare in our arsenal, we are finally ready to wrestle and overcome
the devil’s gladiators in the arena.
