With Whom Do We Battle

Romans 8:31, 35, 38-39

 

What then shall We (Believers) say to These Things?  If God (God Almighty) is for Us (Believers), who can be against Us (Believers)?  Who shall SEPARATE Us (Believers) from The Love of Christ (Jesus Christ)?  Shall Tribulation, OR Distress, OR Persecution, OR Famine, OR Nakedness, OR Peril, OR Word?  For I (Believers) am PERSUADED that neither Death NOR Life, NOR Angels NOR Principalities NOR Powers, NOR Things Present NOR Things To Come, NOR height nor depth, NOR ANY OTHER Created Thing, shall be able to SEPARATE Us (Believers), from The Love of God (God Almighty), which is in Christ Jesus, Our Lord.

 

2 Corinthians 4:16-18

 

Therefore We (Believers) Do NOT Lose Heart.  Even though Our (Believers) Outward Man (Mortal Body) is perishing, yet The Inward Man (Spirit) is being RENEWED, Day by Day.  For Our (Believers) light affliction (Mortal Body), which is but for a moment, is Working for Us (Believers) a Far More Exceeding and Eternal Weight of Glory (Spiritual Body), while We (Believers) do NOT look at the things which are seen, but at The Things which are NOT SEEN.  For The Things which are SEEN are temporary, but The Things which are NOT SEEN are ETERNAL.

2 Corinthians 10:3-6

For though We (Believers) walk in the flesh, We (Believers) Do NOT War, according to the flesh.  For The Weapons of Our (Believers) Warfare are NOT carnal, but Mighty in God (God Almighty), for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments, and every high thing, that exalts itself AGAINST The Knowledge of God (God Almighty), bringing EVERY THOUGHT, into Captivity to The Obedience of Christ (Jesus Christ), and Being READY to punish all disobedience, when Your (Believers) Obedience is Fulfilled.

 

2 Corinthians 11:12-15

But what I (Believers) do, I (Believers) will also continue to do, that I (Believers) may Cut off The Opportunity, from those (Unbelievers) who desire an opportunity to be regarded, just as We (Believers) are, in the things of which they (Unbelievers) boast.  For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves (Unbelievers) into Apostles of Christ (Jesus Christ).  And no wonder! For Satan, himself, transforms himself into an Angel of Light (God Almighty’s Holy Angel).  Therefore, it is no great thing if his (Satan’s) ministers (Unbelievers) also transform themselves (Unbelievers), into Ministers (Believers) of Righteousness, (Unbelievers) whose END will be according to their works.

 

Ephesians 6:10-20

 

Finally, My Brethren (Believers), Be STRONG in The LORD (God Almighty) and in The Power of His (God Almighty’s) Might.  Put On The Whole Armor of God (God Almighty), that YOU (Believers) may be able to Stand Against The Wiles of the devil.  For We (Believers) Do NOT Wrestle against flesh and blood, but AGAINST Principalities, AGAINST Powers, AGAINST The Rulers of The Darkness of This Age, AGAINST Spiritual Hosts of Wickedness in The Heavenly Places.  Therefore, Take Up The Whole Armor of God (God Almighty), that YOU (Believers) may be able to WITHSTAND in The Evil Day, and having done all, to Stand.  Stand therefore, having Girded Your (Believers) Waist with Truth, having Put On The Breastplate of Righteousness, and having Shod Your (Believers) Feet with The Preparation of The Gospel of Peace; Above All, Taking The Shield of Faith, with which YOU (Believers) Will Be Able To QUENCH, All the fiery darts of the wicked one (the devil).  And Take The Helmet of Salvation, and The Sword of The Spirit, which is The Word of God (God Almighty); Praying Always, with All Prayer and Supplication in The Spirit, Being WATCHFUL to This End, with All Perseverance and Supplication for All The Saints (Believers), and for me (Believers), that Utterance may be GIVEN to me (Believers), that I (Believers) may Open My (Believers) Mouth BOLDLY to Make KNOWN The Mystery of The Gospel (The Gospel of Jesus Christ), for which I (Believers) am an Ambassador in Chains; that in it I (Believers) May Speak BOLDLY, as I (Believers) Ought to Speak.

 

Colossians 1:9-18

 

For this reason, We (Jesus’ Disciples) also, since The Day We (Jesus’ Disciples) HEARD IT (The Gospel of Jesus Christ), Do NOT Cease to Pray for YOU (Believers), and to ASK, that YOU (Believers) may be FILLED with The Knowledge of His (God Almighty’s) Will, in All Wisdom and Spiritual Understanding; that YOU (Believers) may Walk Worthy of The LORD (God Almighty), Fully Pleasing Him (God Almighty), being Fruitful in Every Good Work and INCREASING in The Knowledge of God (God Almighty); Strengthened with All Might, According to His (God Almighty’s) Glorious Power, for All Patience and Longsuffering with Joy; Giving Thanks to The Father (God Almighty), who has Qualified Us (Believers) To Be Partakers of The Inheritance of The Saints (Believers) in The Light (Jesus Christ).  He (Jesus Christ) has Delivered Us (Believers), from the power of darkness and Conveyed Us (Believers) into The Kingdom of The Son (Jesus Christ) of His (God Almighty’s) Love, in whom We (Believers) have Redemption, THROUGH His (Jesus Christ’s) Blood, The Forgiveness of sins.  He (Jesus Christ) is The IMAGE of The Invisible God (God Almighty), The Firstborn (Jesus Christ) Over All Creation.  For by Him (Jesus Christ), ALL THINGS were CREATED, that are in Heaven and that are on Earth, Visible and INVISIBLE, whether Thrones OR Dominions OR Principalities OR Powers.  ALL THINGS were CREATED, through Him (Jesus Christ), and for Him (Jesus Christ).  And He (Jesus Christ) IS Before ALL THINGS, and in Him (Jesus Christ) ALL THINGS Consist.  And He (Jesus Christ) IS The Head of The Body, The Church, who IS The Beginning (Jesus Christ), The Firstborn (Jesus Christ) from the dead, that in ALL THINGS, He (Jesus Christ) may have The Preeminence.

 

James 4:7, 8, 10

 

Therefore SUBMIT to God (God Almighty).  RESIST the devil and he (the devil) will FLEE from YOU (Believers).  Draw Near to God (God Almighty) and He (God Almighty) will Draw Near to YOU (Believers).  Humble Yourselves (Believers), in The Sight of The LORD (God Almighty), and He (God Almighty) Will Lift YOU (Believers) Up.

1 Peter 5:8-11

Be Sober, be Vigilant; because Your (Believers) Adversary, the devil, walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he (the devil) may DEVOUR.  RESIST him (the devil), Steadfast in The Faith (The Gospel of Jesus Christ), KNOWING, that The Same Sufferings are EXPERIENCED, by Your (Believers) Brotherhood in The World.  But May The God (God Almighty) of All Grace, Who Called Us (Believers) to His (God Almighty’s) Eternal Glory, by Christ Jesus, after YOU (Believers) have suffered a while, Perfect, Establish, Strengthen, and Settle YOU (Believers).  To Him (God Almighty), be The Glory and The Dominion, Forever and ever.  Amen.

So, what is “Spiritual Warfare” YOU (Believers) ask?  Well, it’s actually The War against Us (Believers) Sharing The Truth, The Gospel of Jesus Christ, with All Those (Yet-To-Be-Believers) who have yet to HEAR it and or to ACCEPT it.  Satan will use ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to keep Us (Believers) from reaching others, so that they may acknowledge God’s Amazing Saving Grace AND accept God’s Free Gift of Salvation.  Just look at Satan’s arsenal: Satan (the devil), Himself, Satan’s ministers, demons (fallen angels), false prophets, false apostles, false teachers, deceitful workers, principalities, the powers of darkness, the rulers of the darkness of this age, spiritual hosts of wickedness in The Heavenly Places, etc., not to mention Unbelievers.  Unbelievers, of whom, it’s NOT enough for them (Unbelievers) to NOT believe, but they (Unbelievers) want to keep Us (Believers) from REACHING People (Yet-To-Be-Believers), who want to Believe, who yearn to Believe.  Satan will ATTACK YOU (Believers), physically, mentally, emotionally, and Spiritually (if possible), to KEEP YOU (Believers) from Sharing The Gospel of Jesus Christ.  Please, do NOT doubt that for a second!

Satan is very good at trying to plant “seeds of doubt” in Your (Believers) Mind.  He (Satan) will try to make YOU (Believers) question Your (Believers) Salvation.  He (Satan) will try to make YOU (Believers) question God’s Word (The Holy Bible).  He (Satan) will try to keep YOU (Believers) from reading and studying The Holy Bible.  He (Satan) will try to keep YOU (Believers) from Communing with God Almighty, through Prayer.  He (Satan) will try to keep YOU (Believers) from Fellowship with Fellow Believers.  He (Satan) will try to keep YOU (Believers) from using Your (Believers) Spiritual Gifts, to Share The Gospel of Jesus Christ.  Satan will try so much more, than what I have mentioned, just ask Jesus Christ and God Almighty.

My prayer for each of YOU (Believers) is this, “Be STRONG in The LORD (God Almighty) and in The Power of His (God Almighty’s) Might, Put On The Whole Armor of God (God Almighty), TONIGHT!”
