ENTERING INTO SPIRITUAL WARFARE

Spiritual Warfare is so very real especially in the intensity that we are experiencing now as believers, we have to be completely submit to our Chief And Commander The Lord Jesus Christ, for He is The Lord of Host. 
We can't move or speak without Him when engaging in spiritual battles, we must have God's approval, wisdom, insights, scriptures & leadership to engage in any war. We will always need Jesus' wisdom & strategies in spiritual matters & must not be presumptuous concerning them.
As believers we should  want to know who an individual is  that going to wage war with us especially when going into the various realms & dimensions while we are in a battle.
I have learned if a person is not equipped to handle a certain level of warfare or doors may be opened in their life or soul.  Therefore, God will not lead you into higher level of warfare with unequipped person, He will always protect that person, even if that person feels they are ready to war on certain levels.
Subsquently, as leaders we must also be protective of individuals that are on our teams as well, by praying, by using discernment & having an acute sensitivity to The Lord.
We have to definitely understand our boundaries set by God in the spiritual realm not take anyone in battle that is not ready to go into a higher level of warfare, unless they  have been & are approved by God.
Just because we see someone else war on higher level in intercession or spiritual warfare, this does not mean we are to try to  emulate or engage in spiritual warfare at same level without  God's strict permission, people are anointed for specific assignments & remember because you have been used to a particular way in battle at one time does not necessarily mean you are should assume you can or will flow that same way again. Each assignment & region are different in conjunction with its strongholds, root problems, principalities etc and each assignment must be orchestrated & strategized by God as we are required to seek God's directives in all spiritual battles.
All  gates, windows & doors in our soul & to the demonic realm that we know of must be closed. 
It will be  advantageous to consult with The Lord about any openings that we are aware of or  unaware of.
We need to deal with all soulish & emotional issues, because the enemy being a legalistic will use these very issues to come against us & will try to defeat us,  especially if we are unaware of them.  This is why we need the truth in our inward parts before  we go into battles. Fasting & praying  before  the Father is a must.
Some  of our weapons we can use before & during battles are Praise & Worship, taking communion daily, our full submission to The Lord, walking in Love, walking in total obedience, dying to our self & flesh, having a repentant heart, having the readiness of the Sword of the Spirit which the word of God & to be Confident in Christ about who we are in Him, these are some tools that are very important.
We should move & flow in God's Divine Order, the timing of Jesus  as well as being Divine alignment in our lives.  Walking in unity & the oneness in the Holy Spirit, having a true humility, embracing the truth are more tools to have.
Finally having on our complete & full spiritual armour of God. Each piece of the armour represents our protection in the spirit as we go into war, we must have  absolute determination  to resist the enemy from using our flesh against us & others. 
In hindsight as we use & apply The Blood of Jesus in our lives, we ready for the battles that are ahead of us.
Another tool or weapon  we must have in our arsenal is to know who we are, to have identity in Christ & be aware of weakness, ourselves, our actions, responses, triggers, weakness & proclivities.
We should also be aware & know the enemy & all his tactics, plots &  strategies against us & against other people that are around us as well. 
We must remember we do not war against flesh & blood it's a spiritual battle & we have to keep our perspectives as mature warriors in Christ by not allowing vain imaginations & lies of enemy penetrate our mind, emotions & armour.
Most importantly we must know God by having an intimate relationship with Him & will fortify us against external  & internal weapons of the enemy.
These points are some of strategic keys & weapons we must be aware of as we are co- laborers with The Lord Jesus against the wiles of the enemy. We are in this together & we have just one enemy,  thereby, let us keep our focus on The Lord as we advance forward with the Lion of the Tribe of Judah.
It's our duty to protect & intercede for one another in The Body of Christ. It is also our responsibility & we should be our firm position to protect the movement in the Kingdom of  God & what He  is doing the earth, even through  yourself  & also others in The Body of Christ.

Ponder The Will Of God ?


I hear The Lord say be obedient without any hesitation or delay in this season. Time is of the essence for the Divine Kingdom Connections. The act of hesitating is a delay due to uncertainty of the mind or fear. A state of doubt,a halting or faltering in speech according to the dictionary.  I say it is a pausing in commencing your actions based on a perceived inability to accomplish the task at the moment, whether in your own  thoughts, beliefs, actions or deeds.
We must trust The Lord in all movement through our vessel which is based on your availability & your faith in Him.
Your movement in Christ is not based on your carnal senses, feelings, natural observations or not even what is comprehended by you, it is strictly by the obedience to The voice of God. Consequently, you must have a knowing of His voice in  your spirit in this due season, with no vacillating or inconsistency in your response to Jesus.
It is now onward progressively with an ardent, eagerness &  willingness attitude in what The Lord has required of you to do.
So be bold & confident because the rewards & benefits are going to be phenomenal. 
Only let your pauses be in the realm of Christ's will by being synchronize with the Holy Spirit & not to delay your own blessings.
