Text
[2 Corinthians 10:3-6 KJV] “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: [4] (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) [5] 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; [6] And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled”.
Reference
Revelation 12:1-12
Discussion
The times are dangerous and there is a lot of satanic activities all around us. The devil is fiercely prowling and moving about roaring as a lion, seeking whom he may devour (See 1 Peter 5:8). He is in town and he means business. He will steal, kill, and destroy anything that stands to oppose him. He has no favourites and he is not joking at all.
To overcome him in these last days, you must put on the whole armour of God, operate in the name of Jesus Christ, strive for the knowledge of God, plead the blood of Jesus, speak your testimony boldly, and deny yourself. This explains the most effective weapons against Satan in these last days.
1. The whole armour of God:
The Bible admonitions us in Ephesians 6:10-18 that we should put on the whole armour of God so that we shall be able to stand against the wiles of the enemy and in an evil day. The armour of the Lord (the whole armour of the Lord) is an effective weapon. That is what helps you to stand and to withstand in the evil day. Without the armour of light, you will fall flat before the enemy.
The armour of God makes you stable and strong. The helmet of salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, the readiness of the gospel, the belt of truth, shield of faith, and the sword of the spirit (which is the word of God). These are the only ways to be sure of standing.
2. The name of Jesus Christ:
“The name of the Lord is a strong tower, the righteous run to it and they are safe” (Proverbs 18:10). Above all, at the mention of the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow, of anything that is named in heaven and on earth and beneath the earth (See Philippians 2:10). The name of Jesus brings the enemy to his knees and we can then be on the offensive.
3. The knowledge of God:
The Bible exhorts us in Ephesians 6:10 to “be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might”. The simple secret to be wax strong and do exploits is to know God. Daniel 11:32 teaches that “those who do know their God shall wax strong and do exploits”. No wonder apostle Paul was preoccupied with merely trying to know the Lord and the power of His resurrection. We are strengthened through the knowledge of him that called us (Philippians 3:10). Knowing God is a master key to winning the invisible war against darkness.
Revelation 12:7-12 teaches us about the following three other weapons effective against Satan;
4. The blood of the Lamb:
Now in the real combat, three weapons work, and one of these three is the blood of the lamb. The blood of the lamb is our evidence of victory over death. The blood of the lamb, reminds both us and the enemy that our sins have been atoned for. The blood of the lamb protects us against his accusations and aspersions. The blood is an effective weapon, use it.
5. The word of your testimony:
Your words are forerunners into your future. Your words shape your tomorrow and are effective weapons against Satan and devils. Your testimony is an effective tool, don’t trade it.
6. Self denial:
Self denial is the final weapon I want to talk about now. When the enemy realizes that you are ready to even die if possible, he grows weaker. They won over darkness because they were not afraid to lose their lives. They lived and fought knowing their lives are hidden in Christ and they have a better life after this one. The devil will always capitalize on your fear and doubt to control you. May you wake up and not slumber.
Benediction
I speak victory over your life. You must win this invisible war against darkness. May you be able to use these weapons effectively against every evil. Receive the protection and provision of God, Amen!
Be blessed; I love you!
