WE ARE AT WAR!

Spiritual Warfare

As children of the King of Kings we are called to be ambassadors in his Kingdom here on earth. This places us in a battle that many of us may not see or forget that it is real. As believers who are called to be salt and light in this dark world, we won't take territory without encountering spiritual warfare - a battle, the enemy, satan, and his demons wage war against God’s Children. God reminds us in His word to be aware of Satan’s schemes, to stay alert in this time, and to stay close to Him. We are also to be like the Son’s of Issachar who had understanding of the times, they knew what they ought to do. 1 Chronicles 12:32

He arms us with the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God, to stand against the enemy’s attacks. He equips us with strength, wisdom, and discernment through His Holy Spirit to stay strong in the midst of spiritual warfare. He invites us to spend time in His Presence, through prayer and worship, pressing in to know Him more and understand better how to wage war for Him and His Kingdom.

Praying God’s words back to Him, is a powerful weapon against the forces of evil and the word says it does not return void or empty.
