THE WEAPONS OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE (Part 2 of 5)

Victory in spiritual warfare requires using the right weapons. These weapons help believers resist temptation, fight deception, and protect themselves from the enemy’s attacks. Through these weapons, Christians can stand firm in their faith and claim victory in spiritual battles.

The Word of God – The Bible is our offensive weapon against the enemy.

Ephesians 6:17 (NKJV)

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

The Blood of Jesus – The blood overcomes Satan’s accusations.

Revelation 12:11 (NKJV)

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

The Name of Jesus – Demons flee at the mention of His name.

Philippians 2:9-11 (NKJV)

⁹ Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, ¹⁰ that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, ¹¹ and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Prayer and Fasting – These strengthen our spiritual authority.

Matthew 17:21 (NKJV)

However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.

Example:

Read Matthew 4:1-11 (NKJV)                                                                                

During those forty days, when Jesus’ flesh was at its weakest, He endured relentless temptation from Satan. Satan offered Him alternatives to God’s plan, compromises that would satisfy His natural desires, and attacks upon His very identity as the Son of God. Jesus used the Word of God, not His own strength, to defeat those temptations and remain victorious over sin. He demonstrated for us that fasting can strengthen us spiritually when we use it to draw closer to God.
