The Weapons of our Warfare

The Weapons of our Warfare

The season that we are in , is a season of uncertainty, trials and tribulations. I believe we are in the season of the beginnings of birth pains. The Lord told us that He has not left us alone, nor has He left us unequipped or without weapons for these battles. God’s Word tells us that we have weapons and we have Armour!

2Co:10:4-5 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; 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;
Our Weapons and our Armour ………..
What is it?
and
How do we use it?
We are given some insight and exhortation in Ephesians and II Corinthians ………….

Eph:6:10: Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

Eph:6:11: Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Eph:6:12: For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Eph:6:13: Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Eph:6:14: Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
Eph:6:15: And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Eph:6:16: Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Eph:6:17: And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Eph:6:18: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

Interestingly , there are Seven pieces of Armour and Weapons in this passage of scripture.
Armour is used defensively , ( to protect yourself , to stand against, to deflect an incoming attack.)
Weapons are used offensively ( to charge, to attack, to pull down, to cast down , to take captive )
you need both to have the
“Whole Armour of God”

Ro:13:12: The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
