SPIRITUAL WAR WEAPONS
WHAT ARE THE WEAPONS FOR
SPIRITUAL WAR?
God has not left us defenseless, but has given us all we
need for the batle before us. Would any general send his
soldiers out to battle without weapons? How foolish would
that be? What could that soldier do but die in a hopeless cause! The problem is not with
God's provision but in the willingness of his people to take up the cause Christ endured
such humiliation and pain for. We say "greater is he that is within us," but act like Satan
and his minions are to be feared or believe we must not offend anyone by speaking the
truth without compromising the Word of God and we become offensive to God instead.
Ephesians 6:10-12 Ephesians 6:13-18

While multitudes today are living in deception in and out
of the body of Christ, the Word of God exhorts us to live in
and speak truth. We are not to follow "cunningly devised
fables" or the doctrines of men. It is in living and walking
in truth that we shall be able to convince lost mankind of
their need of Christ. We are to speak truth at all times and
let no corrupt communication proceed out of our mouths.

Picture a battle where the general is
sitting astride his horse high above
the battle watching everything so he
can plan troop movement that will
win the war. Then watch in horror
as everyone fights without going to
him for instruction. See them fall in
humiliation and defeat because they
decided they could be wise enough
without his help. Imagine how sad
the general would be as he watched
his army go down to defeat when he
knew he could have helped them.

Without God's Direction We Will Fail!
The righteousness we are to wear is not our own but the
righteousness of Christ which is given to us. Apart from
Christ all righteousness is "self-righteousness" and is only
imagined by those who think they possess it. There isn't
one righteousness person on earth because the Bible says "all our righteousness is as filthy rags." We need his!

Faith is essential to the Christian experience. Salvation
is obtained through faith in what Christ did for us. Faith
continues to grow stronger as we study God's Word in
a committed fashion "daily" and apply it to our lives with
honest examination and obedience to what God speaks
to our hearts though it. The Bible fortifies this need when
it states, "Without faith it is impossible to please God."

Some people believe the devil is a toothless lion, and in
doing so are deceived into a false sense of complacency
as to what he is capable of. It is a solemn truth that when
we underestimate our enemy we stand to be defeated as
he takes advantage of our ignorance of his wiles. Satan is
well aware of our weaknesses because he had us before
we turned to Christ. We better keep our shield up and be
careful that we wisely prepare for the darts coming our way. If your don't bother the devil - he won't bother you!

Our salvation is an ongoing experience. We are saved
from sin through the cleansing Christ provided with his
blood. We are being saved day after day from the draw
of sin on us, and we will finally be saved completely as
we leave this mortal body in death or rapture to enter
into the presence of the Lord in glorious peace and rest.

Hebrews 4:12 tells us the Word of God is quick & powerful
like a two-edged sword! What a glorious weapon this is!
It has an answer for every lie the devil can conjure, and it
will never go out and return without accomplishing what
it was sent for. It will live when all other books have been
burned or crumble into dust and we must consume it to be
victorious in this life. God speaking to us - we must listen!
