“Doubts, fears and apprehension are not My way says God. If you find such things coming against you, recognize them for what they are; spiritual warfare is to be waged and seek to repair the hole in your hedge that made you vulnerable to such an attack.
Never forget that the shield of faith can quench ALL the fiery darts of the enemy. Which brings you back to ‘the sin that so easily besets’.
If you look at every challenge through natural eyes, of course the situation will often seem difficult maybe even impossible and because your viewpoint is from the flesh, you will be operating outside the protection of the anointing.
You have effectively ‘removed’ your armor and those fiery darts will start striking home and wounding you. Because there is no sword for you to strike back with you end up having to retreat. It is natural for those in the flesh to now spend time brooding about the defeat, wondering why their armor had suddenly become ineffective!
All the time this is taking place you will make yourself open to even more attacks in greater measure says God, as the enemy will press for the opportunity to create a foothold by attaching himself to you through one of his demonic spirits who will dwell in your environment seeking an opportunity.
Depression, fear, lack, apprehension, double-mindedness, uncertainty, lowliness, unworthiness, victim syndrome, unbelief, hopelessness, undeserving, anxiety, nervousness. This list can go on and on. As I have said, their names are ‘legion’ and they all seek to nullify your effectiveness.
Now this may all sound intimidating to some. However, you know the truth and therefore the solution is simple. None of these can operate in the presence of the anointing of My Spirit.
None of them can even stand against the proclamation of the name of My Son. None of them can have any effect against the protection of the full armor.
Remember recently how just by being obedient and speaking the truth to a business colleague, by confessing the power of My Son to them over the phone, all the things that were seemingly coming against you were immediately removed?
What happened was, in the course of that conversation you picked up your shield of Faith, which immediately started to quench those darts. Then as you begin to speak out My Word, that spiritual sword began wreaking havoc through the enemy ranks sending them scampering away.
There is an important lesson through all of this. For one of My chosen warriors to walk in victory all of the time, it is essential that battle readiness is maintained. Be alert to even the slightest sting of an enemy dart. If you so much as feel something, you will know that your defenses need attention and you can attend to it immediately.
There is of course another level to move to here.
As you know the best method of defense is attack.
The sword is not designed to be a defensive weapon says God. It is time to realize that we cannot be content with ‘standing our ground’.
No, we must go forward and regain ground that has previously been lost. We must make inroads into the enemy territory and start creating casualties in their ranks. Get them on the back foot and win victories in My name.
It is time to show them that they are no match for My forces, we are the most powerful beings in the fray. Human bodies being driven by the anointing of My Spirit dwelling within them, equipped with My unstoppable weapons of warfare.
If I am with you nothing can stand against you in the spiritual or in the natural. Remember you must take your victories in the spiritual realm first. If you take them only in the natural, they will only be temporary and of no eternal significance.
It is the same with everything that you do. Achieve victory at the supernatural level and you will make huge strides along the path I have prepared. This is what I am calling you to do and your strength and your blessings will be multiplied”.
