Genesis 3:15 14-15 God told the serpent: "Because you've done this, you're cursed, cursed beyond all cattle and wild animals, Cursed to slink on your belly and eat dirt all your life. I'm declaring war between you and the Woman, between your offspring and hers. He'll wound your head, you'll wound his heel." (The Message) Are you finding yourself going through the same trials over and over again because you make the same mistakes repeatedly? Do you feel like you are constantly battling against man? Then you have not entered into the real battle. Your battle is not against man but against Satan and all his minions. Ephesians 6:12 says, “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” There is a spiritual battle that you have not yet begun to fight. Your battle is never against man, but is against spiritual wickedness in high place. I want to go into how you fight this battle. In order to fight you must know your enemy. What spirit are you coming up against? Then you must choose to stand and fight. How do we fight? God gave us many weapons to fight this spiritual battle. Ephesians 6 - “14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—“ If you don’t know the Word than you will never be able to fight. The Word is a defensive and an offensive method of fighting the enemy and the Word can only be activated with your mouth. Our words are spirit and contain power. You have to speak words into the atmosphere. When I go into battle I go with a “take no prisoner attitude.” I’m not looking to hold the enemy captive for a short time. I want to defeat him permanently. I want to keep him from ever getting a foothold in my door. I look him in the face and call him by name. I speak boldly to him because I have come into an understanding of the authority granted to me by Christ. I let satan know that I know that I have what I say I have and that whatever I speak into the atmosphere will come to pass. The thing is satan doesn’t want you to know that you have that authority. He fears you gaining knowledge and wisdom because that, gives you power. Power to defeat him. Not just for you but for all your family. Anything connected to you through your bloodline stands is under your authority and if you do not use your authority then you will be defeated over and over again. Don’t give in to the fight and the lies of satan. Your thoughts are not going to get this job done. You must defeat him with your tongue and with the Spirit of the Living God. You must enter this battle both spiritually and physically. When I go into battle my whole body is utilized. I use my mouth, my hands, my feet, my tears and even my ears. I listen spiritually for guidance from God on which weapon to reach for in my arsenal. Is it time for my spiritual tongue Lord? Do I need to walk this one out? Father You said that I shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, and that the young lion and the serpent I would trample underfoot in Psalm 91. Do I need to cleanse it with my tears? You will never know what weapon to use that will defeat Satan until you are spiritually connected to God. We have the power within to defeat the enemy. Activate the battle in the spirit realm and be free. Stand against all the whiles of the enemy, but don’t just stand. Fight. Fight for your life and for your freedom and for your children’s freedom and your children’s children. Let him know that he can never intimidate you again. You are not a coward. Find your strength in God and go on the offense. Chase the enemy down in whatever cave he is held up in. Drag him out by his tail and put his weaknesses on display for all to see. Paul tells us that we need to disarm the enemy. Not just disarm him but whoop on him real good. Not only in private but publicly. Colossians 2:15, “Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.” Why publicly? So that others can see the victory that is awaiting them. You don’t battle for yourself only but you battle for the deliverance of others. Now, will you enter into the battle with me?
