Читать книгу Spiritual Warfare Training Manual - Psy.D. / Philothea - Страница 2

There is a full-scale battle going on day and night and you are either engaged in it or a casualty. To become fully engaged in this war for the Kingdom of God, you must prepare, be ready, prevent incursion, bolster your weakest defenses, be strong and know that you have already overcome because greater is HE that is IN you than he that is in the world!! You are more than conquerors!

God's word tells us how to be winners. We know that the Bible has valuable information for us but if you don't know where to look for God's solutions to your problems, it's like having a safety deposit box full of valuables and not knowing which key on your keyring to use.

Some of life's pitfalls can be avoided. Some cannot. But you CAN overcome adversity and prevail in the midst of the mess like Joseph did. We are not left defenseless:

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against powers and principalities..." "therefore put on the full armor of God".

Ephesians 6:11

Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

Truth, righteousness, peace, faith, and salvation are more than words. Learn how to apply them. (THE MESSAGE)

you must buckle the belt of truth

don the breastplate

protect and prepare your feet

Wear your shield of faith

put on the helmet of salvation

make ready the sword of the Spirit
