Lk 1:68-75
68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed
his people,
69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house
of his servant David;
70 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been
since the world began:
71 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand
of all that hate us;
72 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember
his holy covenant;
73 The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,
74 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of
the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,
75 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our
life.
Isaiah 49:24-26
24 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive
delivered?
25 But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall
be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for
I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy
children.
26 And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh;
and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine:
and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer,
the mighty One of Jacob.
The Word tells us that the kingdom of God suffers violence and the
violet take it by force (Mat 11:12).
Spiritual warfare is exactly what the Word says it is WARFARE!!.
We are to engage the enemy as part of our duties as soldiers of Christ
enforcing Kingdom Authority and claming our legitimate rights and liberties
received in Jesus Christ .
2 Tim 2:3-4
3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus
Christ.
4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of
this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
However the scriptures warns us to be adequately prepared
And equipped for the battle.
Eph 6:10-18
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power
of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand
against the wiles of the devil.
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.
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.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth,
and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall
be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit,
which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit,
and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all
saints.
