WEAPON OF OUR SPIRITUAL WARFARE PT3 .
*📖 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds,
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5.
By salvation through Christ, we are made new (2Corinthians 5.17). However, without faith, it is impossible to access our new creation experience. In Luke 1:45, the Bible says ‘And blessed is she that believed; for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord’. In Mark 9.23 likewise states that ‘all things are possible to him that believes’. This means it is the believer who continually operates in faith that will continue changing levels and recieve the promises of God.
However, in the last days, faith shall be under siege (Luke 18.38) so it is important we know how to build up our faith so we can secure our glorious destiny and all the blessings that our father hasn’t purposed for us.
Why is faith so important to accessing the promises of God.
- It takes faith to actualize our new dawn heritage in redemption. Proverbs 4:18 says the path of the just is to be as a shining light that shines more and more unto the perfect day – ours is a heritage of continuous exploits. But for that to be our experience, we must operate in unwavering faith; Romans 1.17, Hebrews 10.28, Galatians 3.11, Habakkuk 2.4 all points to the fact that the just shall live by faith. So without faith you cannot please God and therefore you cannot manifest your glorious destiny.
- It is to you according to your faith; It’s faith that dictates your outcome not situations. In Matthew 9.27-29, Jesus told the blind men that it would be to them according to their faith. No matter what you face, when faith is in place in the heart of a believer, the situations will be turned to testimonies. Hebrew 11.33-34 tells of the exploits the disciples overcame by faith.
- Faith activates the new dawn virtues in the Word. Hebrews 4.2 shows that if you don’t mix the Word with faith, it yields no works.
- It takes faith to enforce your desired change. In 1Corinthians 16.9, a new door (dawn) is opened, but there are many adversaries, and it is faith that clears the way. Ephesians 6.12-16 admonishes to take the shield of faith ‘above all’ the weapons listed because it is our defence from every attack of the devil. In Deuteronomy 2.24 God told the Israelites to arise and take the land because He had given their enemies into their hand. 1 Timothy 6.12 admonishes that ‘we fight the good fight of faith’.
HOW TO ACTIVATE YOUR FAITH FOR SUPERNATURAL BREAKTHROUGHS.
. Diligently meditate and receive the Word. ‘Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word’ . In Psalms1:2. ‘But whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night.NIV. In Joshua 1:8 This Book of the Law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein. For then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
If you consistently meditate the Word of God your faith will continue to grow and will open a world of possibilities to you.
. Genuinely believe the Word.
In Luke 1.45 ‘there shall be a performance of things to those who believe’. Don’t live in unbelief and impossibility, genuinely believe what God says and he will make you victorious.
. Consistently declare the Word. The centurion in Matthew 8.8 said ‘speak the word only, and my servant shall be made whole’. You can receive your miracles through boldly and consistently declaration of God’s words.
. Total Obidience to the Word.
It’s written that ‘faith without works is dead (James 2.26). Unflinching Obidience to the word of God will surely deliver your promises and help you in fulfilling your destiny.
Do you desire to do great exploits and live in the supernatural and great abundance, please strengthen your faith and all desires of your heart shall be delivered to you. Remember that you are more than conquerors through Jesus Christ who loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice.
