It's been a couple of weeks since I have had the chance to blog. In the past few weeks I have had to engage in a war that several Christians are either oblivious to or choose not to engage in. I was under attack from the enemy and I do not write this lightly. He permeated my mind with his lies and almost left me defenseless, but God in his love and mercy SAVED ME.
I am not going to say much about this topic since I am still learning. All I know is that God has called me to be a watchman, no he has called all of us to be watchmen. To stay alert and in the word so that we can wage war with the enemy when he comes steal, kill and destroy. I know that what helped me was prayer, the word of God and strong men and women of God praying for me. I am so thankful to God for the people he has put in my life to help me when I am weak and his unfailing love that saves me ALWAYS.
This trial has taught me several things; I cannot be a stagnant Christian, I cannot stand on the sidelines and expect others to pray on my behalf, God truly loves me and I must give over every aspect of my life to God. All the enemy needs is a crack to step through and wreak havoc. You can leave comments about your experience with spiritual warfare or what you think it is, so that we can all learn and help each other grow in the faith. God truly bless you all and cause his face to shine upon you and give you peace.

I have to say i dont know much about spiritual warfare. i do know that the bible says that we wrestle not against flesh and bloodFor our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.(ephesians 6:12). I think most of the time when we think about that verse we are thinking of some strange battles that are far from us, or that this battle is even refereing to some warfare with withches and spirits and all sorts of demons. But seriously i think the biggest battle we face is the battle for control of our minds because i believe it is where everything starts.God gave us minds for a reason and the devil knows this . If he can only plant a seed of doubt or fear or even a negative thought, thats all he really needs and then he will leave the rest to you, thats why we need to put on the whole armour of God. we need our faith at these times to believe that what God's word says about us is true,we need the sword of the spirit,the word of God to know what God is saying to us. we need to stand in truth and admit to ourselves what the truth our situation is , and realise that we need to be true to ourselves, true to God . we really need to take the word of God seriously because things the bible tells us, it tells us for a reason. we need it to fight the wiles of the devil. if you look up up the word wiles, its simply a strategy or a trick to deceive.. its lies to persuade someone to do what you want and really its all the devil ever tries to do to us. it really is the biggest battle we ever fight and we fight it everyday.I never realised it until starting from a few weeks ago.im sorry im talkin so much but u see i just through a period in my life where I really struggled with all this. I was believing in God for a miracle.. n i was praying about it, it wasnt happening in the time way and manner i expected and I started to allow seeds of doubt to be planted in my mind an believe you me, you might think its just a lil thought but really its all you need and next thing you konw i was fighting a serious battle for my peace of mind , i couldnt stop thinking negative thoughts that were just pushing me to act all wrong and doubt God. it was crazy .IT actually became physical and next thing i know i have a terrible migraine and im feeling physically sick and all this started with one thought, a single negative thought. ANd believe it or not the only thing that helped me at that point in time was God. I realised the truth about my situation , i was fighting a losing battle ,i needed strength , i couldnt do it on my own, i prayed and asked God to help me. I read the bible, his word and started actively speaking it and by the time i was through with the last verse . A peace i had never imagined just came over me. my headache was gone. It was amazing . I had never experienced anything like that . It was like a wake up call. We really need to guard our minds and our hearts and we need to renew our minds daily . it has to be a constant thing. you would think that after that experience i would nt have doubts again. I still do but now i know what it is and the minute i sense it i start to pray and speak Gods word about my life. These are things we need to actively do everyday. its the only way we can run this christian race. its the only way we can live the kind of life God calls us to live.
Ephesians 6 vrs 10-19 . talks alot more on spiritual warfare.
Yes, the word of God is mighty! It is an offensive and defensive weapon. The key is to know the word so that you can wield it as a weapon.
