SPIRITUAL WARFARE

1. “For this purpose the son of man was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.” He started His ministry by waging war against Satan himself. He won victory over death, and instructed us, “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” (1John. 3:8; 5:19; Luke 4:1-12; James 4:7) 

2. Lucifer has not changed his technique. He continues to deceive as he did in the Garden of Eden. Like your Master you are authorized to disarm principalities and rulers of darkness and make a public spectacle of them. (Col. 2:15)

3. Lucifer sends his angels of light that give false vision, false prophecies and false leadership that give blind eyes, deaf ears and mute lips to manmade churches. We must repent and ask the Lord to restructure her, “Today I give you authority over nations and kingdoms to uproot and to tear down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant again." (2Cor. 4:4; 11:13-15; Jer. 1:6-10)

4. Yeshua is building his worldwide church and has given her authority over all the power of the Enemy, commanding the Church to cast out demons, not only out of individuals but nations. God wants the Church to bind principalities and powers, to dictate public policy, determine the politics of nations and to rule on earth.  (Matt.16:18-19; Luke 10: 19; Mk. 16:17; 1Jn 5:18; Gen. 22:17-18)

5. Yeshua then raised us up and made us sit with Him in the heavenly places, far above all principalities, powers, might and dominion, authorizing us to crush the devil under our feet. (Eph. 2:6; 1:21-23; Rom. 16:20)

6. The Church is Yeshua’s army. Our battle is not with sinners but with the Devil’s army. We must put on our whole battledress, including the belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, shoes of peace, shield of faith, helmet of salvation and sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God and engage the enemy. We must always be ready to punish all disobedience. (Eph. 6:10-17; 2 Cor. 10:6)

7. Christianity is a call to arms, not armchair. Think war, not peace, “Think not that I came to send peace but sword.” A farmer destroys weeds before he sows seed, lest his farm be overrun with weeds. Yeshua commanded us to plunder and destroy Satan’s strongholds; only then can He establish God’s kingdom. (Matt.10:34; 12:28-30)

8. Devil’s weapons include lies and deception. He makes legal entry through idolatry, occult, pornography etc. His strongholds are in people’s minds. Invoking : a. The Name, b. The Word, c. The Blood of the Lamb and d. Our own testimony; with the help of the Holy Spirit, we can demolish all the gates of hell and set them free. (2Cor. 10:3-5; Jn 8:44;10:10; Rev12:9-11; Jer 23:29)

9. Declare the manifold wisdom of God to the “prince of the power of the air” and to the hosts through binding and loosing, prayer walking, rescuing the perishing and claiming territoires. Paul charged Timothy to wage a good warfare. (Eph. 3:10; 2:2; 1Tim.1:18)

10. Menorah (light) symbolizes the church, and not the cross, a symbol of death, while Marxists have usurped hammer and sickle. Hammer symbolizes the Word that pulverizes the stone like heart and Yeshua is coming back with sickle, a sign of the harvest. (Jer.23:29; Rev.1:20;14:14,15)
