Wear all the armor that God provides so you're protected as you confront the slanderer, for you are destined for all things and will rise victorious! Eph 6:13 TPT

Christ’s resurrection meant that the keys to the kingdom had been returned to the sons and daughters of God! It is time for you to arise, sisters in Christ, into your authority and subdue the enemy and his tactics.

For we are not unaware of his schemes… 2 Cor 2:11

You are a three part being– spirit, soul, and body (1 Thess 5:23). Since the enemy cannot touch your spirit, he will try to attack through the soul (mind/thoughts, emotions like fear, depression, confusion) or the body (sickness or weakness). Becoming aware of your own “vessel” and how the enemy may be attacking you is step one in becoming victorious!

We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 2 Cor. 10:5 NIV

The mind is the greatest battlefield in this war with our adversary. A key strategy for overcoming is to ask: “whose thought was that– mine or the enemy’s?” and wield the weapon of the renewed mind. You have been given the mind of Christ!

Don’t give the slanderous accuser, the Devil, an opportunity to manipulate you. Eph 4:27 TPT

Open doors are access points that the enemy uses to attack our physical body, emotions, and thought life. While we don’t have to have an “open door” for the thief to break in and steal from us, we can also unknowingly participate in allowing his activity. Unforgiveness is a significant open door!

The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit. Prov 18:21

In the spirit realm, the seeds we sow (either life or death) can attract demonic warfare. God has given you authority to speak seeds of life as well as to command the “death” seeds we have sown to be destroyed and bear no fruit. What seeds have you been sowing – there is a war going on for your “seed”!

...and the two shall become one flesh; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh. Matt 10:8-10

Soul ties are like invisible umbilical cords that connect us to others in the spirit realm. Those attachments can impact us through our connection and provide demonic access to our souls. Severing ungodly soul ties is a powerful weapon that shuts the door!

He redeemed us from the curse of the Law having become a curse for us, that we might receive the blessing of Abraham... Gal 3:13

Generational curses are patterns of destruction that run in your family line. Too often, we unknowingly partner with the enemy’s plans to keep us stuck in the same generational pattern. Jesus grafted you into a new family tree at the Cross - partnering with the finished work of the cross is at the heart of all spiritual warfare!

Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7

Jesus wants to heal the hurt places in your heart and in so doing, you will become less vulnerable to the lies that the enemy wants to attach like velcro to that painful place. Spiritual warfare is inviting Immanuel, God with Us, into the painful areas of our lives and freeing us up from the lies that are attached to that soul wound.

I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. Luke 10:19

You have been seated in heavenly places and are a victorious daughter. This changes you from a defensive to offensive position and shifts you out of victim mindset and into your true identity. You now fight FROM victory not FOR victory.

The moment they began their shouts and praises, the LORD set ambushes against the men of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir who had come against Judah, and they were defeated... 2 Chronicles 20:22

In the heat of the battle, praise changes your focus on who you are fighting or what you are fighting, to WHO you are praising. Your praise is not only an expression of worship but a declaration of war on the enemies of God. Watch as He sets ambushes when you worship!

His Word is living and active and sharper than a double edged sword... Heb 4:12

We wield the sword of the spirit by using our words. When we partner with His Word, it releases the angelic realm to execute the living Word on your behalf! What is the “rhema” that you want to weaponize?

Again I say to you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven... Matt 18:19

Identifying what you want to “break agreement with” is the first step in using this powerful weapon. The next step is RENOUNCING your agreement with the enemy’s plans and RELEASING God’s victory, His promises and His breakthrough for your life!

The Lord will fight for you. You need only be still. Exodus 14:14

Did you know that when you are resting, Jesus is fighting on your behalf? It is the most beautiful act of warfare when you rest in absolute trust the He will fight your battles for you. He always gets the victory!

They defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony; for they did not love their lives but laid them down for him. Rev 12:11 NLT

Have you ever considered taking communion as an act of war? Well, it is! In this final lesson, we discuss how communion silences the voice of the accuser and proclaims the Lord’s victory at the cross. Every time you take communion, you are reminding your body of the full benefits package that comes with the New Covenant!
