We have many weapons at our disposal to use, and most should never be removed.
Hosea 4
4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children
Revelation 1
1:6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
WisdomColossians 2
3. In whom (Christ) are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
Colossians 1
27. To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
James 3
18. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
James 1
All you have to do is ask for wisdom and God gladly gives it.
WordJohn 1
1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made
1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth
The power in the word is to create, as God spoke all of creation came into being.
You have the power of the word at your disposal to use to create life in others by the word.
Blood of JesusThe blood of Jesus is our salvation. It was that blood that was spilled for us that saves us from death, Hell, and the grave.
As long as His blood flows, the blood is working for us. Since it will always flow (He lives and reigns forever), we will always be protected.
The blood is powerful enough to wash away our sin, heal us, and make us whole in all areas. If we are not whole how can we win?
Name of Jesus
In the name of Jesus is power. The power to rebuke all of evil and wickedness from our lives as well as Satan and all of his forces from our lives. In the name we find power to heal, to prosper, to be saved.
Armor of God
6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
6:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
We apply the Helmet of Salvation to protect our thoughts from the evil and wickedness.
Breast Plate of Righteousness is our right standing with God due to what Jesus did at the cross for us and brings us to a place where we can stand with God.
Boots of Gospel, the boots of good news; every where we walk is covered in the Gospel and all who walk in these places will be affected. The boots guide us to where we need to go.
Belt of truth is what our salvation is based on, the truth about God, and the belt holds your pants up. We have the belt of truth to keep us from embarrassment.
Shield of Faith protects us from every weapon formed. All weapons formed against us shall fail.
Sword of the Spirit which is the word of God is more powerful than any weapon man has developed.
Notice there is nothing to cover our back side because we are not to turn around, but to hold the ground and move forward.
LightIn the light is truth and life.
John 1
1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
1:6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
1:7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
1:8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
1:9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world
FaithIf you will consider what you have in faith (faith being the total reliance on and trust in God, and that what He says is true, and what He is is true) then you have the ultimate weapon of all.
Romans
10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Mark
11:22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
11:23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
11:25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
11:26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
Now let us review what we have;
Power in the Name of Jesus and His blood unto salvation, healing, prosperity in all areas.
We have the Word and all the power of creation in His word to use.
He has given us knowledge, but even more important the wisdom to know how to use the knowledge.
Light to show us the way, as well as His armor to help us go forward.
And His faith, the same faith that He used to create all of creation.
How can we go wrong? How can we be defeated or even touched with so much going for us?
If He is for us, how can anyone be against us.
