What Is Our
Warfare?
Jesus told
us to watch and pray; to watch (know) the signs of our time and to pray for the
LORD of the harvest to send in workers.
Jesus told
us to seek, to ask and to knock: to seek the righteousness of GOD and His
Kingdom, to seek His will for us and ours as it is in Heaven; Jesus told us to
ask (pray) for wisdom, knowledge, discernment and understanding, to ask for His
will to be done in the earth as it is in Heaven; Jesus told us to knock so doors
will be opened to us to do the works of His Kingdom in the earth.
Jesus told
us to build our life on Him, the Chief cornerstone and the foundation of our
faith with the Keys of His Kingdom: Jesus Christ the Son of GOD and Messiah (Savior)
of Humanity.
Jesus told
us to be the salt and light of His Kingdom where we live and work.
Jesus told
us to resist the gates of hell.
Jesus told
us to love one another and obey His commandments so the world would know we

recover, to cast out demons, to raise the dead and to make disciples of the
nations.

to stand fast in the liberty with which Christ has made us free.
Paul told us
to put on the armor of GOD.
Paul told us
to pray without ceasing, to rejoice always and to be thankful in all things.

to resist the devil.
Paul told us
our warfare is not against flesh and blood but principalities, powers and
rulers of darkness; that the weapons (prayer, fasting and obedience) of our
warfare are powerful for pulling down spiritual strongholds.
Paul told us
to think (meditate) on things that are above and not below, on that which is
true, noble, just, pure, lovely, of a good report, virtuous, and praiseworthy.
Paul told us
to know the power of Jesus’ resurrection and the fellowship of His suffering
and to be conformed to His death.

to contend earnestly for the faith that was delivered to the saints (us).

to build ourselves up in our holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keeping
ourselves in love, looking for the mercy of GOD, having compassion on some and
saving others.
Jesus,
Peter, James, John and Paul all told us to endure to the end the trials of
life, persecutions of the faith, and temptations of the flesh with joy and
thanksgiving.
Jesus,
Peter, James, John and Paul all told us to not sin (hating, lying, cheating, immorality,
evil deeds, lust, lacking integrity, etc.), to be holy and to do the works of
the Father in the earth.
Jesus,
Peter, James, John and Paul all told us to not be religious but to be obedient
to the will of GOD.
All of these
are the weapons of our warfare because our warfare is against our flesh, against
the world and against spiritual powers; all of which have been defeated by
Jesus Christ and His victory given to those who believe in Him and call on His
name in faith; being obedient to the will of our Heavenly Father in the earth
as it is in Heaven.
