My dear friends good day to you
I must remind you that Worship is not just about the songs we sing. It is all about a lifestyle lived for God's glory.
Let us define Worship:
The meaning of the New Testament Greek word most often translated “worship” (proskuneo) is “to fall down before” or “bow down before.” Worship is a state (an attitude) of spirit. Since it’s an internal, individual action, it could/should be done most of the time (or all the time) in our lives, regardless of place or situation.
Now you may wonder at the topic, how is Worship connected to Warfare.
I tell you today my friends Spiritual Warfare is connected to Worship - a lifestyle of Worship. Warfare should never be from the place of the soul and the flesh, but should be directly connected to the Spirit and heart of God.
Let me tell you these facts:
It is not our own selves that is fighting in the Spiritual battle, so no matter how loudly we shout or how often we repeat the same words, it is not effective (our flesh and our soulish impulses)
Many of the times Spiritual Warfare Prayers are prayed while we are on the defensive, that is because we either fear something or we are rehashing the old experiences.
Please remember it is God and the Holy Angels that is fighting the battle. Has God ever lost a battle? Never ever ever. He is the Sovereign Lord and he rules and he reigns in victory.
Perhaps the reason that we have been addressing the same demons is that there is a legal ground for the enemy to stay and let me just tell you the truth my friends when you address the enemy where you had no authorization to do so, it is like "stirring up an ant's nest"
There are so many things to be learned about Effective Spiritual Warfare:
Spiritual Mapping before going into communities
Different strategies to deal with different heirachies of demons
Boundaries of Warfare as evidenced in the book of Jude 1:9 even the Archangel Michael in dealing with Satan spoke the words - "The Lord rebuke you"
The foundation for deliverance is repentance...that is where it begins. Not with "I bind you".
All this and much more God will teach one, if one will dedicate their whole life in the Worship and glorification of God.
I am not going to be addressing demons over and over again.....I am God's representative with authority, but please note I only have as much authority as God gives me and effective prayers are prayed only because I listen to, submit to and follow God’s leading.
Amen
Now let's start anew today - stop stirring up the "ant's nest".
Do this instead
James 4:7
SUBMIT YOURSELVES THEREFORE TO GOD Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Effective Spiritual Warfare BEGINS with Worship, flowing from the presence of God.
The bruising, the affliction, the attacks will stop when we truly move in sync with God's Spirit.
We live in Worship and move only when God says move and that my friends will cause that one prayer prayed from the presence of God empowered by the Holy Spirit to make such a difference - things will change, lives will change.
We SUBMIT TO GOD
We warfare out of Worship
We walk good in Christ
in Jesus name
Amen
Till we meet again
