Time to start fighting!

I’ve had such an urgency lately to get into some spiritual warfare! I’m so fed up with the devil having a hold over areas in my life, my family’s and life of my friends. Most of the time, we just carry on in our lives and put up with ‘stuff’ that’s getting us down (physically, spiritually & mentally), which stops us from doing all that God wants us to do. I’ve had it with the devil!!! I’ve just read Ezekiel 37, which is where the Lord made the dry bones come to life, God joined the bones together and put flesh on the bones, but they were still dead. They didn’t come to life until God breathed His spirit into the bodies, but not only did they come to life, they were “an exceedingly great army” (37:10). How awesome is that! We were dead before the Holy Spirit came into our lives, but now that we have Him, we are MEANT TO BE an exceedingly great army! We are meant to fight in the spirit! We need to start using our weapons! The word says, “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but are mighty in God for the pulling down of strongholds” (2 Corinthians 10:4). I have been really proclaiming that I, my family and my friends live in the Kingdom of God, where my Lord is the supreme authority and that there is no pain, no sickness, no worries, no strongholds in the Kingdom! The devil has lost and did lose all authority when Jesus rose again. We really need to read and proclaim (proclaim it until we believe it) what it says in the word, speak in tongues, pray, praise and worship God – these are our weapons. If someone went up to someone in my family or one of my friends and punched them out – I wouldn’t just say calmly, “Well that’s life.” I would probably get extremely angry and want to punch them out (there’s that lovely flesh rising up!), but we just let our minds be in captivity. That is where the war is. The first thing Jesus preached was “Repent, for the Kingdom of God is here”. ‘Repent’ means to change your thinking, think the way God thinks. If we all did that and really BELIEVED that we live in the Kingdom of God, we would be an exceedingly great army!
