Powerful Spiritual Weapons

FEAR puts you on the defense whereas FAITH puts you on the offense!  FEAR causes you to react with negative energy.  FAITH causes you to respond with positive energy.

If we try to fight a spiritual battle with man's natural methods, we will be defeated.  Our weapons of war are not carnal, but God divinely equips us for such attacks.  One of the most powerful of all spiritual weapons is THANKSGIVING.  We're to "give thanks IN everything!"  Notice that it did not say "FOR everything!"

Most people grumble and complain when  they're facing some battle.  But I've learned that when the enemy hits, we need to deflect his fearful blows and counterpunch with a fist packed with FAITH , followed by a "one-two punch" of PRAISE and THANKSGIVING!

Before we engage in warfare, it is wise to "come before His Presence with THANKSGIVING," and to "be anxious for nothing" (don't worry, whine, or complain), but "in everything by PRAYER  and THANKSGIVING make your requests known to God."  [Psalm 95:2; Philippians 4:6]

Spiritual Battles are INVISIBLE!  We have to fight with FAITH....not by natural sight!  Our armor (that which shields us) is our FAITH.  Some of the weapons that we attack with are:  PRAISE, PRAYER, and THANKSGIVING.

As David said, before he fought the giant (of fear) Goliath--"The battle is the Lord's"-- we must know that God is for us and He will fight with us if we will use His weapons of warfare.  David didn't use Saul's (man's) armor....he used a slingshot and a stone.  Now who would've thought of that?  God's ways are not our ways....remember that!

Fill yourself with FAITH...equip yourself with the resurrection POWER given to you by Christ Jesus...give God all the PRAISE and glory....and THANK Him in advance for the victory!
