SPIRITUAL WARFARE

• 1/ Matthew 12:29 KJV - Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man?  and then he will spoil his house. 
• 2/ Matthew 18:18-20 KJV - 18/ Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven [in the spirit realm]: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven [in the spirit realm].  19/ Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.  20/ For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

• 3/Joshua 23:10 KJV - One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the LORD your God, he it is that fighteth for you, as he hath promised you.
• 4/Deuteronomy 32:30 KJV - one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight (READ ABOUT THE MAN IN THE KING JAMES VERSION BIBLE-MARK 5:1 thru 13,  WHOM JESUS CAST ABOUT TWO THOUSAND UNCLEAN SRIRITS OUT OF.)  

The four previous scriptures, let us know that when two are gathered together on one accord in the name of Jesus, the power of God is ten times greater than one person praying alone for the same thing.  Jesus lets us know that we can bind (tie up, halt, stop) the evil actions of destructive spiritual forces that come to kill, steal, and destroy the spiritual and material blessings God has for our lives.  Jesus has also given us power through the Holy Spirit, to loose the hold of an enemy, off of any and every area of our lives, as well as to loose from the Spirit of the living God; love, peace, unity, harmony, healing, material blessings, and everything good that is in God's will for us to have.  Jesus promises to be in the midst of us; to interceed for us, and see to it that our requests are granted, when we pray in faith in His name. 

II Corinthians 10:3-5 KJV - 3/ For though we walk in the flesh [in physical bodies], we do not war after the flesh [do not fight each other]:  4/ For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal [not material], but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;  5/ 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; 

The above is true

BUT

Ephesians 6:12-17 KJV - 12/ 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.  13/ 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. 

 14/ Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15/ And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16/ Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 

 

17/ And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:  

Hebrews 4:12 KJV - 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.

******************************************************************************************************

 PRAY THE WORD

Ephesians 6:18 KJV - Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. [Pray and watch, for everyone.  Especially pray for all children, and for those of the Household of Faith.]

Philippians 4:6-7 KJV - 6/ Be careful [worried or anxious] for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.  7/ And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
