ARE YOU IN A WAR AGAINST THE ENEMIES OF GOD AND OR YOUR FAMILY, MAYBE YOU FIGHTING AGAINST A BLOOD LINE CURSE , A GIANT THAT NOBODY KILLED FROM YOUR FAMILY. MAYBE YOU FIGHTING FOR A CHILD THAT SEEMS TO BE NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO THE SCHEMES OF THE ENEMY THAT HAS THEM IN HIS SIGHTS. A MARRIAGE THAT THE ENEMY HAS TARGETED. MAYBE EVEN YOUR HEALTH. WHAT EVER THE REASON DON’T GO INTO THIS FIGHT UNARMED. BE ENCOURAGED , NO MATTER HOW IT LOOKS, KNOW WE SERVE A TRUE AND FAITHFUL GOD, IF WE FIGHT HE WILL STAND WITH US AND DELIVER. PSALM 18: 34 He trains my hands for war, So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze. MATTHEW 18:19-20"Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven. "For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst." THE ENEMY WE FIGHTING: EPHESIANS 6: 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this [present] darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) places. PREPARING TO FACE THAT ENEMY: EPHESIANS 6:13 Therefore, put on the complete armor of God, so that you will be able to [successfully] resist and stand your ground in the evil day [of danger], and having done everything [that the crisis demands], to stand firm [in your place, fully prepared, immovable, victorious]. 14 So stand firm and hold your ground, having [b]tightened the wide band of truth (personal integrity, moral courage) around your waist and having put on the breastplate of righteousness (an upright heart), 15 and having [c]strapped on your feet the gospel of peace in preparation [to face the enemy with firm-footed stability and the readiness produced by the good news]. 16 Above all, lift up the [protective] [d]shield of faith with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. PREPARING YOUR SPIRIT TO BE IN RIGHT STANDING FOR THE FIGHT: PSALM 51:1-2 Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your loving kindness; According to the greatness of Your compassion blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash me thoroughly from my wickedness and guilt And cleanse me from my sin. Since the Fall in the Garden of Eden, the devil has tried to bait us with false teaching, lure us into sin, and turn us against each other. He does this to keep us from glorifying God and doing the Great Commission. He seeks to devour us (1 Pet. 5:8) so we can no longer be a light to a lost world. The summary I commonly use is that the enemy wants us to mess up (fall into sin), give up (get discouraged), get puffed up (live in arrogance), split up (divide), or shut up (quit evangelizing). EPHESIANS 6:18 With all prayer and petition pray [with specific requests] at all times [on every occasion and in every season] in the Spirit, and with this in view, stay alert with all perseverance and petition [interceding in prayer] for all [e]God’s people . EZEKIEL 22:30 I searched for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand in the gap before Me for [the sake of] the land, that I would not destroy it, but I found no one [not even one]. 31 Therefore I have poured out My indignation on them; I have consumed them with the fire of My wrath; I have repaid their way [by bringing it] upon their own heads,” says the Lord God. JOHN 15: 16 You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you and I have appointed and placed and purposefully planted you, so that you would go and bear fruit and keep on bearing, and that your fruit will remain and be lasting, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name [as My representative] He may give to you. 17 This [is what] I command you: that you love and unselfishly seek the best for one another. ISAIAH 41:10 Do not fear [anything], for I am with you; Do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, be assured I will help you; I will certainly take hold of you with My righteous right hand [a hand of justice, of power, of victory, of salvation].’ I KNOW YOU MIGHT BE THINKING CAN OR AM I ABLE TO DO THIS, YES YOU ARE IF YOU ARE SAVED THROUGH YESHUA , YHWH PUT IN YOU ALL THAT YOU NEEDED THE DAY YOU SURRENDERED YOUR LIFE TO OUR LORD AND SAVIOR, REMEMBER WE DO NOT DO THIS IN OUR OWN FLESH BUT THROUGH THE SPIRIT OF THE TRUE AND LIVING GOD. WE ARE JUST THE AMBASSADOR HE ANOINTED FOR THE TASK. FATHER GOD, WE THANK YOU AND PRAISE YOU FOR OUR SALVATION, WE ASK THAT YOU REMIND US OF THE ANOINTING YOU PLACED IN US FOR THE PURPOSE OF THE KINGDOM. THROUGH YESHUA WE REBUKE ANY SPIRIT THAT COMES AGAINST US TO HINDER US FROM OUR ASSIGNMENT. WE THANK YOU FATHER FOR THE STRENGTH AND ENCOURAGEMENT FOR US TO STAND UNWAVERING TIL THE ASSIGNMENT IS DONE. WE THANK YOU RIGHT NOW FOR THE VICTORY, IN YESHUA NAME. AND FOR THE KINGDOM SAKE.
I touch and agree in Jesus Mighty Name
