The
apostle Paul Taught
Spiritual
Warfare
Theme : Eph.6:12-17
The apostle Paul taught very heavy spiritual
warfare, as he wrote half of the N. T. It seems most preacher’s teach so little about it, as if spiritual
warfare did not exist, or was for the past, and not the present. Most of this teaching will come from the apostle Paul’s
writings.
Psalm 51:5 --- “ Behold, I was shapen in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me”. What that is saying is, as we
were being born, we inherited sin from our parents. That can be traced
back to Adam and Eve, as Gen.3:6 tells us. So, say thanks mom and dad, and an extra big thanks to Adam and Eve. Rom.3:23 also confirms that.
We
already know that, each time we sin, we open a door ( so to speak ) to that particular part of our temple. Demon’s have the right to enter us, because of that. I know, I was not there
at that time, either, nor did I hear those rules, as they were being made. I think
it was a closed door meeting, between Satan and his demon’s and God.
With all that said, each
time we sin, we need to ask Jesus
Christ to forgive us, and then take our authority over the demon’s that came into us, through each sin we commit. I
guess that is the first time you heard that. Here is physical
proof. Say, you have one or more tattoos on
your body, or you are a man, and your hair has covered or still covers your
neck ( as a
woman’s length ), etc.
I
can command the head demon out, that came into you, through either one of those two, or any other sins you have committed, and you will be the first to know, those demon’s came out. I will do that
by the power of The
Holy Ghost. Need I say more ? Check
out my link “ Why Cast
Out Devil’s”.
Parable : This will help you to understand The
Triune Godhead , more clearly. When a country goes to war. God The Father is like a ruler of a country (
although He is The Ruler
Over The Whole World ). Jesus
Christ is like The Commander over the soldier’s. The christian’s are the soldier’s. Men, in the offices
of the bishop : apostles, evangelist, ministers, preachers and pastors, are the officers in the
war.
Men who are prophets, missionaries, teachers, and deacons ; also, women who are prophetesses, missionaries, and teachers, are the non-commissioned officers ( N.C.O.’s or commonly known as sergeants ). Men and women who
are non of the above, plus teenagers and children are believer
christian’s ( E-1 to E-4, learners ). And The Holy Ghost is like the weapons and ammunition ( fire power ). We are in spiritual warfare, amen ?
Many people try to choose their titles, and what positions they want to do in the body of
Christ. Only God is the one who does that. Look
at Luke 6:13-16 and Matt.12:18. The
following titles are not found in God’s word as christian titles : Reverend, Rabbi, Father (
as a spiritual man ), and Doctors
of Divinity and Theology. And Most people claim to be christian’s, but are still fighting for Satan, throwing curses at each other, backslidden. We need to be fighting for Jesus Christ, the biblical way.
Lets start with this issues
theme, Eph.6:12. This gives us a general idea of spiritual
warfare. Paul tells us in this scripture, our battles are not against flesh and Blood ( each other). Our battles
are against Satan and his demon’s. How does that work ? Satan has people throw curses at each other, thus causing people to receive accidents, illnesses, infirmities, hard
times, loss of money and possessions, etc. Also, demon’s are sent with each curse, as that is what activates each curse ( makes each curse real ).
The past paragraph is how Satan wants everyone to fight, and it is the way most of
the world is fighting. That goes against the biblical way the apostle Paul tells us to fight. Rom.12:14 --- “Bless them which persecute you : bless and curse not”. By God’s power, we are to break curses, bind, and cast out devil’s, from those who oppress ( curse ) us. In doing that, we are delivering ( blessing ) those who oppress us, by fighting the demon’s those people send our way. Therefore, we are fighting the demon’s, and not flesh and blood. You say curses are not real. That is
just demon’s talking. Read Micah 2:1-4 and
what the apostle Paul says in II Cor.1:8.
Before we go on, you
need to know there are three heavens. The first heaven, which is the sky that we physically see ( all physical wars are fought here ). Matt.5:35 tells us this first heaven is called earth, and is God
The Father’s footstool. The second heaven, which we cannot physically see, although Satan makes it possible for
many people to see and
have com - munications within that heaven ( all spirit and soul wars are fought there ). And the third heaven, is where The Triune Godhead resides. The Garden of
Eden and Abraham’s
Bosom, are types of heaven. The word paradise means heaven, as well.
Ok, in the past paragraph, Matt.5:35 confirms the first heaven ( earth ). II Cor.12:3
& 4 confirms the second
heaven ( spirit
realm ), as unspeakable
words, which are not lawful for a man to utter ( verbal
curses ), was heard by a man, telling the apostle Paul of his out of body experience. And verse 2 of II Cor. confirms the existence of the third heaven, as another man, who was in Christ ( a
christian ), telling the apostle Paul of his out of
body experience. In
these four scripture, you will find I am teaching against what most
preacher’s teach. The apostle Paul did not have
an out of body experience. Both verses 2 &3 tell us, two men told the apostle Paul of their out of body experiences.
Some people tell me, christian’s cannot have demon’s in them. Try these two scripture on. James 4:1 & 5 --- “From whence come wars and fightings among you, even of your lusts that war IN YOUR MEMBERS”
? MEMBERS means your body, soul, and spirit. Verse 5 --- “Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that
dwelleth IN US lusteth to envy”
?That is not talking about The Holy Ghost that
dwelleth in us, is causing us to lust.
II
Cor.12:7 tells us, the apostle Paul was given a thorn in his flesh ( infirmity ), as a messenger of Satan ( a demon ) buffeted ( cursed ) Paul. This is called spiritual warfare, and what was happening to the apostle Paul. Paul
does not say, what that thorn
in his flesh was, in this scripture. We do know it was a
big issue with Paul, as II Cor.12:7-9 tells us, God told Paul His grace was sufficient for Paul. God’s answer for Paul was not yes, nor was
it yes, but wait. God’s answer was NO ( NEVER ).
Some preacher’s
will take a guess at Paul’s thorn
in his flesh, and say it was a thorn ( infirmity ) in
his side , with no biblical confirmation
. Other preacher’s will say, the bible
just does not say. Again, with no biblical confirmation. I Cor.7:6-10 has a hint, for you. Here, Paul tells us (
Paul’s commentary, not God’s command ), it is better not to be married, as
Paul was not married. Paul tells us in verse 9, if you cannot contain, then you
should get married. Those two words “cannot contain” means ; continually thinking of, having vain
imaginations, and lusting after
the opposite sex.
Here is another hint for you. Rom.16:22 --- “ I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord”. Paul wrote much on the lust of the
flesh. Ok, now that you have a good background on Paul’s thorn in his flesh, here is what his thorn in his flesh
was. If I do not give you scripture that confirms this, you will not believe me. Read Gal.4:12-15, and find the answer to this mystery for yourself.
Tertius is telling us, he was Paul’s secretary, as
he did not come up with the
words, but he wrote the words down, that
Paul told him to write. We all know that Paul wrote Romans and about twelve more books. I believe
Paul should have married. He would not
have lusted in the flesh, near as much. I am sure God would have healed Paul, had he been married, as Paul was a man who
had GREAT FAITH IN JESUS
CHRIST. This
is not new scripture, but new news to some of you. God allowed Satan to curse Paul with that infirmity.Simular
to Job.
Spiritual
Warfare Weapons :
Acts 2:38 tells us to repent ( be
born again John 3:3 ), then be baptized in water ( start asking Jesus
Christ to forgive you of sins you commit John 3:5 and I John 1:9 ). Now God The
Father gives you, your first gift, The Holy Ghost ( your power Matt
28:19-20, your comforter, along with Jesus Christ John 14:16, and your teacher John 14:26 ).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
( A ) Born
again : is Faith In
Jesus Christ plus an act of works ( speaking
the word ).
( B ) Baptized
in water : is Faith In
Jesus Christ plus
a work of deed ( physical work ).
( C ) Power : Your first gift from God The Father, is the The Holy Ghost.
So
( A ) and ( B ) ( Faith plus works ) equals ( C ) your answer ( God‘s Power ).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I thought you would
like that last parable. There
are many more parables like that, where that came from. The last parable is very important to know and do. If
you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your Saviour, or been baptized
in water (
biblically ), or you have unconfessed temple
defiling sin in your
life, you will not be
able to activate the spiritual
warfare weapons effectively ( biblically ). If you would like to accept Jesus
Christ as your Saviour, right now, then click on my link “ Enrolling In The Seminary of Jesus
Christ”.
I
will list twelve spiritual
warfare weapons, The
Holy Ghost gives to each new born again christian, after they are baptized in water. They come from I Cor.12:7-11. The same words I use, to Speak
The Word, (
as God did all through Gen. chp.1 ), putting my spiritual warfare
weapons into effect, is the same identical words you can use. So you can read or copy them off this web site, and
use them in your own situations. How easy is
that ?
It
is like The Holy Ghost is showing you, just as He has shown me. Works simular as voice
activated objects do. Voice activated objects activate by a command of a voice, as long as there is power coming from an electrical source. On
the other hand, spiritual warfare
weapons are activated by putting a demand ( usage, not commanding ) on The Holy Ghost, being God The
Father’s power, and
our power. The more faith in
Jesus Christ we have ( great faith ), the
more power God
The Father gives back to us.
( 1 ) Putting the whole armour of God on : Praying to God
The Father. The apostle Paul tells us in Eph.6:13, to take unto you ( put on you ) the whole armour ( not some, but ALL ) of God. Why does Paul tell you to do that ? He says, so you can withstand in the evil day ( each time
you get cursed ), having done all ( fought to the end ), to stand (having been VICTORIOUS
OVER Satan and his demon’s ). Verse 14 tells us, to put on the breastplate of righteousness . Being of all truth ( stop lying ).
Verse 15 tells us, to put the gospel of peace on. Being very knowledgeable of God’s word, and being in context, is very key. Verse
16, Paul tells us, to take ( carry with you ) the shield of faith, so you can quench ( stop ) all the fiery
darts ( curses ) of
the wicked ( Satan and his demon’s ). Verse 17, Paul tells us, to take the helmet of salvation, which is found in John
3:3, as Jesus
Christ tells us, we must be born
again.
Also, in verse 17, Paul tells us, to take ( memorize ) God’s word, as that is the sword ( power ) of The
Holy Ghost. And verse 18, Paul tells us, to keep praying all prayers and supplication ( petitions ). The apostle Paul did not tell
us, in this chapter, how to put the whole armour of God on. As he knew, not
all who claim to be christian’s, will be fighting for Jesus
Christ. I will teach you how to do that, in another issue, and in
another link, very soon, just as I do, as most of you are not ready for that, as of yet.
( 2 ) Rebuking Satan : Taking authority over Satan. Many people are confused, as they think they can bind and cast Satan out of
someone. Satan is the highest rank ( head honcho ), and has charge over all the demon’s. But God is over Satan, as God created Satan. Jude 9 tells us, Michael the
archangel told the devil ( Satan ), “ The Lord rebuke thee”. You
have to keep rebuking Satan, as God allows him to keep coming
back. That is just one of life’s rules.
You
can rebuke Satan like this : “ Satan, I command you to depart from me NOW, In The Name Of Jesus
Christ”. And he has
to leave, but sure enough, he will be back.
( 3 ) Binding demon’s ( devil’s ) : Taking authority over demon’s. When you bind demon’s, you
are not praying to God, nor are you praying to Satan or his demon’s. You are taking your authority over the demon’s. Matt.10:1 is your confirmation scripture for this action taken. This is just a
temporary action, and only last for about an hour. All of the demon’s in that person’s temple ( body, soul, and spirit ), are ( so to speak ) in
handcuffs.
Binding demon’s usually brings out the demon’s easier , as our fight is
not with flesh and blood , but with
the demon’s, within that person. When someone fights to keep from losing the demon’s , they usually get hurt in an accident of
some kind , in the shuffle. At that time, the demon’s are ALL TALK ( usually curse words , but no action. You can bind demon’s like this : I command the
demon’s that are in ( the person’s
name ), to be bound by
heaven, In
The Name Of Jesus Christ. Read Matt .18:18. And they are bound, for about one hour.
( 4 ) Breaking curses : Taking authority over curses. There are four steps when you break curses. You are not praying to God, nor are you praying to Satan or his demon’s. You are taking your authority over the curses, someone has thrown at you. Matt.16:19 tells us, it is biblical to break curses. When you break curses, you
are loosing ( dissolving ) the curses .
You
can break curses like this : ( A ) I take authority over the curses, that is upon me, and I command those
curses to be broken, NOW, In
The Name Of Jesus Christ.
Now that you have spoken
the word, by your act of works, and you believe in
your heart, by your Faith In
Jesus Christ, those curses have NOW, BEEN BROKEN. Amen ( so
be it ). Now, you need to command the demon’s that were activating those curses, to depart from you, biblically. This is a permanent action, and when biblically done, those demon’s have to go to hell, as Jesus Christ sends them there. You command the demon’s away like this: ( B ) I command the demon’s that came
to me through those curses, to
depart from me, and go where Jesus Christ sends
you, NOW, In The Name Of Jesus
Christ. Read Matt.8:16, for confirmation.
If
you fail to do this next step, as well, you can look forward to that same person, throwing another curse at you, and sending more demon’s your way, very soon. Sound like something you would be
interested in ? I did not think so. Alright, now you need to bind the demon’s, in that person, that cursed you. You already know the drill. ( C ) I
command the demon’s that are in ( the
persons name ), to
be bound by heaven, In The Name Of Jesus Christ. Matt.16:19 fits right here.
This next step is optional, when breaking curses. It is what I call, taking someone out of the spirit
world. Heb.4:12 is biblical confirmation for this. I ask God The Father, for Jesus Christ to sever ( break
apart, loosed) between that persons soul and spirit, that Satan has joined together, allowing that person to have communication ( hear and see )
into the spirit world. That is just a temporary action, and only last for about an hour.That is the same as Time
Out, for
about an hour. It calms an angry person down, in a matter of minutes. It is amazing to witness. Psychiatrist will use a form of drugs, to receive this same action.
You pray to God The Father, these words : ( D ) Heavenly Father, I ask that Jesus
Christ will sever the link, between ( the
persons name ) soul
and spirit. I
ask and thank you for it, In The Name Of Jesus Christ, amen. Are you getting the point ? In spiritual
warfare,
You can not always pray your problems away
. Most of the time, God wants us to take our authority over Satan and his
demon’s, in
this spiritual warfare, we
are in. Remember, the apostle Paul tells us in Eph.6:12, we are to take our authority over the demon’s, and not curse flesh and blood ( each other ).
( 5 ) Casting
out demon’s : Taking authority over demon’s. I talked about this issue, four paragraphs , before this one, in section ( 3 ) ( B ). Click
on my link “ Why Cast Out devil’s”. There are several ways to cast out devil’s, depending on what category ( type ) you are casting out. Read these two scripture for confirmation on this issue. Matt.8:16 and Matt.10:1. Spiritual warfare is really not all that complicated. If you are confused about spiritual
warfare, perhaps I can show you a biblical answer.
( 6 ) Healing the sick : Do as James
5:14-15 tell you to do. Anoint the person with oil. Oil is symbolic of the power of The
Holy Ghost. Symbolic means as if The
Holy Ghost were physically present with you. Then pray the prayer of faith, believing God has already healed you. If the person is present, anoint their fore head with oil. Also, people who have been cursed will need a healing, as did the woman in Luke 13:11-12. She had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years. Someone cursed her back to be bowed over. In her case, she would need to do as # ( 3 ) ( A
- C ) tells her to do, and also do what James
5:14-15 tell her.
You can heal the sick, or
use any of your spiritual warfare weapons, THROUGH A DISTANCE, as Jesus Christ did in Matt.15:28, and has shown me to do, for the last eight years. Instead of anointing the persons fore head with oil, write their name on a piece of paper, and anoint it with oil. It requires greater faith in
Jesus Christ, and you do not need a willing soul. How great is that ?
( 7 ) Take
someone out of the spirit
world : Praying to God
The Father, for Jesus Christ to sever the
link between someone’s soul and spirit. That is just a temporary action, and only last for about an hour.You pray to God
The Father these words : Heavenly
Father, I
ask that Jesus Christ will
sever the link, between ( the persons name ) soul and spirit. I ask and thank you
for it, In The
Name Of Jesus Christ, amen. Heb.4:12 confirms that.
( 8 ) Rendering things ineffective for
any kind of demonic use : Praying to God
The Father,
for Jesus
Christ to
intervene ( hinder some demonic action, from happening ) on your behalf. You pray to God The Father these
words : Heavenly Father, I ask that Jesus
Christ will render all your possessions you have, receive, or give out, ineffective for any
kind of demonic use (
making null or void, to no effect
). What that means is, Satan or his demon’s cannot activate any curses, on
any of your possessions, unless God The Father wills for you to be cursed.
( 9 ) Anointing with oil ( symbolic of the power of The Holy Ghost ) : Praying to God
The Father. The reason to anoint with oil, is for The Holy Ghost to protect the person being prayed for, whether that person is a christian or a sinner. The person with powerful demon’s will try to fight you with their human spirit, but they will not win. That person will wind up getting hurt, in the
cross fire. I would venture to say, you have
not heard that before. Remember, we are
not fighting flesh and blood, but the demon’s that are in that person.
( 10 ) Faith
In Jesus Christ : Out of all your spiritual warfare weapons, this weapon is your KEY to heaven. If you do
not have your faith in Jesus
Christ, or enough faith
in Jesus Christ, you will not receive, the answer you had in mind. Also, if you do
not apply, an act of works, or a work or works of deeds, you will not receive, the answer you
had in mind. Now read Acts 14:9. It takes great faith
in Jesus Christ,
plus works, to receive the answer you had in mind.
( 11 ) Praying the prayer of faith :Out of all your spiritual
warfare weapons, this weapon unlocks the door to heaven. By praying the prayer of faith ( as that is your works ), is what turns the Key ( faith in Jesus Christ ) to heaven, allowing you to receive, the answer you
had in mind. So we found out, by just having the KEY to heaven, does not get
your answer, in itself. It takes works, to turn that KEY. Acts 14:9 fits here.
( 12 ) In
the name of Jesus Christ ( our authority, permission ) : In order for any of these spiritual
warfare weapons to be activated, we have
to say, In The Name Of Jesus
Christ ( that is
not magic words ), to pull the trigger ( activate ), to receive our answer, because of Matt.28:18 ( Jesus Christ resurrection from the grave ). Acts 3:6-13 is confirmation that this works. Acts 1:13-16 is confirmation, what happens when a sinner uses these words, expecting the same results.
The
main thing in this issue is, BELIEVE God HAS ALREADY DONE, WHAT YOU HAVE JUST ASKED HIM TO DO, and thank Him for doing so. That is having Faith In Jesus Christ. Also, when praying the prayer of faith, do not ask God, if it be His will. A Rule To Go By : The prayer of faith and if it be Thy will, NEVER GOES TOGETHER, in the same sentence.
