Are You a P.O.W.?

"For though we walk (live) in the flesh, we are not carrying on our warfare according to the flesh and using mere human weapons. For the weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood], but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds."
2 Corinthians 10: 3-4


Are you a Prisoner Of spiritual Warfare?  You don't have to be!  There is more to this world than the eye can see.  The devil does not want you to know this truth.  Praise be to God that His Word warns us in Ephesians 6:12: "For we 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." Have you ever noticed that almost as soon as you begin to pursue the Lord fervently, you get back on track in your Walk, you are blessing people through your obedience to God, etc, that some inexplicable things oftentimes begin to happen that really test the integrity of your faith?  In many cases, this is directly related to spiritual warfare.  Count it a blessing that the enemy is threatened enough by your allegiance to God to try and break you down and sever your ties of loyalty with the Lord.  When you become a follower of Christ, the battle is just beginning.  Sometimes the ignorant perceive identifying as a Christian as a sign of weakness, but, as Christians, we know it's grueling work characterized by discipline and devotion REGARDLESS of our emotions.  It takes a real warrior to choose Truth over feelings in 2012.  Unfortunately, Hedonism is much more popular than patience that builds Godly character.  Christianity is not for the faint of heart or the fickle.  Christianity is for the steadfast and wise warrior.
"The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." James 5:16

The 1st thing you need to know in order to evaluate whether or not you are dealing with a spiritual matter is to be aware that SPIRITUAL WARFARE IS REAL.  Spiritual battles are fought and won DAILY on both sides of the spirit realm--Christ vs. Antichrist.  

The 2nd thing you need to know is that as believers we have victory in Christ (1Corinthians 15:57)!  The battle for your soul has already been won.  As children of God, He "...give[s] you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you" (Luke 10:19).

The 3rd thing you need to know is that prayer is your most powerful, effective weapon.  Prayer, using God's Word, is to the enemy what Kryptonite is to Superman.  

The 4th thing you need to know is that prayer ushers in the presence of the Holy Spirit.  No spirit can compete with the Holy Spirit.  "When enemies come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will put them to flight" (Isaiah 59:19).

As an encouragement, please remember to "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.  Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything" (James 1:2-4).  Store up your treasures in Heaven (Matthew 6:20).
