Psalm144:1 Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight. CSB

LEARN FAITH WARFARE

Spiritual warfare is real. There was a time I had an attack that almost made me lose my mind. For several months, I couldn't sleep soundly because I heard strange voices.

It was so terrible because If I had cause to wake up at night to ease myself, the voices I heard before catching sleep will continue their gibberish till day break.

During that period, I knew I had to face it because the enemy was driving me somewhere but I refused to follow him there.

During that period, I had a terrible dream where I saw myself in a coven with two old haggard women. One of them urinated in my mouth. Waking up, I knew all that was happening to me wasn't ordinary.

No one taught me to fight. Halleluyah! Christ won the battle. However, after that period or season, I stopped being simple about spiritual warfare issues. So many things are going in the spirit realm

There are different types of warfare but the toughest of them all is spiritual warfare. That's what Apostle Paul called 'The Good Fight of Faith'(1Tim6:12).

It is Faith warfare. We don't use bombs, grenade, guns and physical weapons like worldly military men do. There are two extremes I've seen on the matter of spiritual warfare.

The first are those that see the devil in everything even when it is glaring that common sense can be applied to solve the issue at hand. The second extreme are those who do not believe there's spiritual warfare going on.

The latter suffer in silence yet claiming the devil isn't going about his business. Apostle James knew the devil won't stop doing his dirty jobs that was why he told us to resist him(James4:7).

Resisting the devil is not something you do smiling. It takes having a good grasp of the word and knowing your rights and privileges in Christ. This is the real faith warfare we're talking about not just yelling at the devil and doing gymnastics.

Getting to your promised land will come with lots of confrontations. Ask the children of Israel. They fought the Amalekites, Hittites, Perizites, and other nations before they possessed the promised land.

Your wilderness season is the time for you to master the art of faith warfare. Our offensive weapon is the word and our defensive weapon is faith in the word.

When believers sleep, the enemy is fully awake to perpetrate evil, launch attacks and destroy. Fight your way out of the wilderness.

Action point

Father, I receive grace to overcome the battles of life In Jesus name.
