Spiritual Warfare #19 Avoiding the Unpardonable Sin
Spiritual Warfare #19 Avoiding the Unpardonable Sin
          One of the most misunderstood topics in the New Testament concerns the “Unpardonable Sin,” also known as blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Satan has blinded most of the Church from this truth for over two thousand years because it is one of the most significant revelations concerning our faith and our identity in Christ.           In the gospels we have three accounts of Jesus…

Spiritual Warfare #18 ~ Reckon Yourself Dead
Spiritual Warfare #18 ~ Reckon Yourself Dead
Romans 6:11 Likewise, you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.           So, what does it mean to “reckon yourself to be dead indeed to sin?” Many translations render this phrase “consider yourself to be dead,” but what does that look like?           Another good word for “reckon” is “believe.” We must believe that we are dead to sin. But…

Spiritual Warfare #16 The Breastplate
Spiritual Warfare #16 The Breastplate
Ephesians 6:14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,            Thessalonians, in just a few words, gives us important insight about the function and purpose of the helmet of salvation and the breastplate of righteousness. It tells us that the helmet has to do with hope, and the breastplate has two parts. 1 Thessalonians 5:5-8 You…

Spiritual Warfare #15 ~ Finger In The Sand
Spiritual Warfare #15 ~ Finger In The Sand
John 8:6-8 This they said to test him, that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground. 7 And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8 And once more he bent down and wrote on the ground.           Two key phrases in this verse; “they…

Spiritual Warfare #14 ~ Be Still
Spiritual Warfare #14 ~ Be Still
Waiting in silent expectation before God is a powerful and fruitful endeavor. Quiet meditation on who He is and His written word is an amazing exercise of our faith that is pleasing to the Lord. Psalm 23:2-3 He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. The Lord is always…

Spiritual Warfare #13 ~ Keeping Watch
Spiritual Warfare #13 ~ Keeping Watch
Matthew 26:41 Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”           What did Jesus mean when He said “Watch and Pray?”          I remember going to a grocery store one day and the Lord prompting me to remain in the car while my friends went in to do some shopping. In the car next to me was a little dog sitting in the driver’s seat…

Spiritual Warfare #12 ~ Spirit Led Prayer
Spiritual Warfare #12 ~ Spirit Led Prayer
          There seems to be confusion in many church circles about praying in the Spirit and what exactly praying in the Spirit is. Many Charismatics limit praying in the Spirit to praying in tongues. Praying in the Spirit is not just praying with other tongues, but praying ANY prayer under the inspiration and direction of the Holy Spirit. Look at our instruction in Ephesians. Ephesians 6:18…

Spiritual Warfare #11 ~ Sword Skill
Spiritual Warfare #11 ~ Sword Skill
          The Bible teaches us that the word of God is the sword of the Spirit. Ephesians 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;           It doesn’t take very long reading the Bible to realize that it is much harder to digest than any other book. The reason? The word of God is alive. It requires spiritual and mental effort to read and…

Spiritual Warfare #10 ~ Supply of The Spirit
Spiritual Warfare #10 ~ Supply of The Spirit
Spiritual Warfare requires a spiritual supply. It is important that we understand where our spiritual supply comes from so we remain well equipped and strong for the fight. One of the first tactics we see used in natural warfare is the disruption and destruction of enemy supply chains. If we can keep the enemy from being supplied with weapons, ammunition, food, and medical supplies, they soon…

Spiritual Warfare #9 ~ Tests and Trials
Spiritual Warfare #9 ~ Tests and Trials
Many years ago, while asking the Lord some questions about the fall of man and His ability to see the future. He spoke to me and said: “It was never my intention for man to live with two natures.” After He said that, I had many more questions about His foreknowledge. “Not your intention Lord? How does that work if You know the end from the beginning? Are You saying that You were surprised at…

Spiritual Warfare #8 ~ What We Behold
Spiritual Warfare #8 ~ What We Behold
          One of the most powerful principles to understand about spiritual warfare is: “We become what we behold”           This is a biblical paraphrase of 2 Corinthians 3:18 2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.           Spiritually…

Spiritual Warfare #7 ~ The Good Fight
Spiritual Warfare #7 ~ The Good Fight
          The term “Spiritual Warfare” obviously implies that we are in a fight. It is a hard fight, but a good fight. A fight that we are incapable of fighting on our own. We must partner with God acknowledging Him as King and submitting to His leadership in this fight.           His Kingdom is in the heart of every born-again believer. Spiritual Warfare is all about stewarding the Kingdom…

Spiritual Warfare #6 ~ Love and Intimacy
Spiritual Warfare #6 ~ Love and Intimacy
          Love is at the heart of intimacy. The more we love someone, the closer we desire to be with them and the closer we allow them to us. We cannot be intimate with a person we don’t love. The more we love someone, the more we trust them and believe in them. This helps us understand why faith only works by love. Galatians 5:6 (AMP) For [if we are] in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor…

Spiritual Warfare #5 ~ Discerning the Religious Spirit
Spiritual Warfare #5 ~ Discerning the Religious Spirit
           One of Satan’s most deceptive attacks is to pervert the love of God that He has sown in our hearts. Romans 5:5 and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.           God is love. (1 John 4:8) By twisting our beliefs and perverting our ideas of who and what love is, the devil keeps us from truly…

Spiritual Warfare #3 ~ The Mind of Christ
Spiritual Warfare #3 ~ The Mind of Christ
          Those that have been in the military know that following orders, no matter what they are, is non-negotiable. There is harsh punishment for disobeying orders. Authority that is questioned or challenged in the heat of battle endangers everyone. Insubordination is not tolerated at any level. The higher the rank, the more casualties are cause by disobedience.           A soldier must trust…
