It’s time for part 2 of how to use your authority during spiritual warfare, and this one is a deep dive into the Armor of God–what it is and how to use it effectively! Again, you’re gonna want notepaper and a pencil for this one!

THIS WEEK’S VERSES:

“Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,  and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.  In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” (Ephesians 6:13-17)

“God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.”   (1 Corinthians 10:13)

“For the Word (spoken word) that God speaks is alive and full of power {making it active, operative, energizing and effective}; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breathe of life (soul) and {the immortal} spirit, and of joints and marrow {of the deepest parts of our nature}, exposing and shifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12)

“So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.”  (Isaiah 55:11)

“The Spirit alone gives life.  Human effort accomplishes nothing. And the very words I have spoken to you are spirit and life.” (John 6:63)

“After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I amthy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.” (Genesis 15:1)

THIS WEEK’S VERSES:

“All authority (dunimus power) in heaven and on earth has been given to me.” (Matthew 28:16-18)

“Go therefore (exousia power) and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19-20)

“Jesus now called the twelve (disciples) and gave them authority (exousia) power to deal with all the demons and cure diseases.  He commissioned them to preach the news of God’s kingdom and heal the sick. The apostles departed and went into the villages with the wonderful news of God’s kingdom, and they healed diseases wherever they went.”  (Luke 9:1-6)

 “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.” (John 14:12)

“When He (JESUS) had disarmed the rulers and authorities [those supernatural forces of evil operating against us], He made a public example of them [exhibiting them as captives in His triumphal procession], having triumphed over them through [i]the cross.” (Colossians 2:15)

“Because she loves me, says the Lord, I will rescue her:  I will protect her for she acknowledges my name.  She will call upon me, and I will answer her: I will be with her and trouble, I will deliver her and honor her.  With LONG LIFE I will SATISFY her and SHOW her MY SALVATION.”  (Psalm 91: 14-16)

“For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.” (Hebrews 4:12

We’re so excited to be back for this spring session! We are diving into spiritual warfare over the next six weeks, so get your notepads ready, your headphones on and settle in!

In this first episode, Tracy leads into discussion on what even is spiritual warfare? She defines it, gives us scripture to help explain it, and gives us key ways to identify we might be facing it.

In the coming weeks, we’ll look at sneaky ways we might be experiencing warfare without realizing it, how to use our authority in Christ to fight it, and ways we experience warfare in our homes. We hope these episodes leave you feeling encouraged, strengthened and ready to be victorious! Because here is the good news: We fight FROM victory, not FOR victory.  

THIS WEEK’S VERSES:

“Submit yourselves then to God, Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Come near to God and He will come near to you.” (John 4:7-8)

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walkers about, seeking whom he may devour; whom you are to RESIST, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same affections are accomplished in your brethren that in the world.” (1 Peter 5:9)

“For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete.” (2 Corinthians 10:3-6)

“For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12)
