Word Based Prayer

The Greek word for "weapon" refers to that of a Roman soldier. Their weapons are offensive and defensive. He has brutal weapons of attack. Now, a Roman soldier carries certain armaments. Ephesians chapter six gives us an example of what he carries in the natural and what believers are to carry in the spiritual: First, he carries a shield for protection. We carry a faith shield to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. Then, he carries a sword. We carry the sword of the Spirit. And he wears killer boots with hobnails sticking out of the toes and heels about one to three inches long. Ours are shoes of peace.  Finally, He has a helmet to protect him. The helmet of salvation protects us.

Notice the Scripture says "our warfare." Now "warfare" in the Greek means strategy; the worse kind of fighting; to massacre; to humiliate; and to be in an all-out intensive war. So, this is not kid's stuff; this is a massacre type of war. Our weapons are brutal, and our strategy by which we humiliate the enemy is not carnal but mighty through God. It’s important we note that the primary and fundamental strategy God has given to us His is word. When we stick with the Word, our victory is guaranteed.

Be strong in the One to whom you trust, He has given you the very keys you need to walk in absolute victory don’t let the devil scare you, he’s a toothless bulldog.

Prayer:

I thank you Father for the many weapons at my disposal, I take charge now in the name of Jesus.
