Spiritual Warfare

We have all had to deal with spiritual warfare. The enemy trying to get into our minds, our souls, our hearts, our lives, & even our loved ones…

Ephesians 6:12 says
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Spiritual warfare is an attack of ones FAITH, SALVATION, SPIRIT, STRENGTH, PEACE, JOY, MIND, BODY & most important SOUL….

For as Luke 22:31b says:
Behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat.

Spiritual warfare… The devil tries to get into your mind before you even get to church… Weighing you down with tiredness, stress and all kind of nonsense..

Spiritual warfare… Your job has a potluck at 12pm on the day your fasting until 5pm.. With all your favorite foods..

Spiritual warfare … You find time to go to the mall, then to the grocery store, then to Jonnies baseball game …but at the end of the night you’re too tired to pray & read your word…

Spiritual warfare … Sickness in your body and devil brings thoughts in your head for you to loose your faith…

Spiritual Warfare … Everything in your life seems to be going all wrong too much month and not enough money and he puts it in your mind to pay everything but your tithes

Spiritual Warfare, Spiritual Warfare, Spiritual warfare

The devil has tried to bring Sion Down… time and time again but has failed…

He Didn’t want to see this church Built…
But here it stands…

He Didn’t want us to have a faithful Leader
but Here He is…

He Didn’t want us to be in church
But “Here we are…

He Didn’t want us to give our lives to Christ ..
But here “I am… as a living witness”

The devil not only attacks our minds it can be our health, our strength, our marriage an upset from the past to bring up old feelings … anything to get you sidetracked on what’s really important. Anything to get you out of the will of God…Anything for you to loose the battle…

When is the devil going to realize “He is NOT welcome HERE” He does not have a place in my mind, my body, in my soul in My life….I belong to God He is my Salvation.. I am on the battlefield fighting for my Lord… He has seen me through every aspect of my life even though I didn’t always acknowledge Him..

The devil is not welcomed in Our Church!!!

The devil is on attack of the saints and if we’re not prepared he will knock us out one by one…

The devil wants to destroy us as saints.. He wants our minds and he will do anything to get it. He will bring up old habits, old friends, old thoughts all the things you use to do to try to bring you back into the world.


We as saints must put on the whole armour of God.. When it comes to getting in the battle field with the devil…. We’ are going to need it…

Ephesians 6:13 says
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

We must prepare ourselves for this Battle!!! We need to make sure we have our armour:

We Must


A. Fast …
We must decrease so that God can increase. We must turn our plates over. We must conquer our flesh!!! Romans 8:8 says …So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. We must be willing to sacrifice something to get something… We all know that nothing from nothing gets….NOTHING… We won’t be hungry when we fast… The Lord feeds our soul with his spirit…

Joel 2:12 says
Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:

We must

B. Pray ….
We must do this daily in order to withstand the test of time… Get on your knees & pray.. I have found it to be more effective to get on my knees & give God my all in prayer.. We must do this daily to increase our relationship with the Father…Prayer is so important and can’t be left out…Sometimes we do so much in our day we don’t give God the time He deserves…We must stay Prayed Up…


2 Chronicles 7:14 says
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Ephesians 6:18 says:
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching there unto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

We must

C. Read the:
B.I.B.L.E. Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth For the word of God is truth…
We must read this…We will not make it without it: How can we tell someone about the word of God if we don’t read the word of God….

Hebrews 4:12 says:
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

We must

D. have Faith…
We must have Faith: Without faith nothing seems possible. We must stand in our faith. We must believe that the Lord will see us through.. No matter what the situation. Fight the good fight of faith!!!

Hebrews 11:1 says
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarded of them that diligently seek him.

We must

E. have the Holy Ghost
We must have His power to bring everything together.. We can’t make it without power… Power Seals it all!!! Power is the difference between Our flesh &
Us becoming more & more like Christ. When you have power your old way of thinking becomes God’s way of thinking… How we received the Holy Ghost is how we have to Keep the Holy Ghost!!!

Romans 8:9 says
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

We need to Put on the:

"Helmet of Salvation"

The "Breastplate of Righteousness" …

Carry the shield of faith &

the sword of the Spirit

We are on the Battlefield fighting for the Lord.

All of this armour is connected in some way… You can’t have one without the other…They all work together to conquer Spiritual warfare…

Yes we can get the armour for this battle… But we must keep the armour to win this battle!!!!
