THE WAY OF THE SPIRITUAL WARRIOR


There is a path every spiritual warrior is on.
There is a way every spiritual warrior operates.
Every true son/daughter of God is a spiritual warrior. In other words, every christian is a warrior.
The Bible makes it clear that we have a fight of faith on our hands. 1 Timothy 6:12
The way of every true spiritual warrior is the way of FAITH. 1 John 5:4
We call the use and application of our faith on this earth a 'fight', the reason it's a fight is because there are many things that will contest with and try to defy your faith on this earth. That's why you have to contend for true faith. Jude 1:3
To contend means to struggle to surmount, to assert something as a position in an argument.
So in life the true spiritual warrior is the one who contests and rejects things that will try to overcome his faith.
The path of spiritual warriors is the path of wisdom and prayer. First of all wisdom because it is the most important thing. Proverbs 4:7
Then prayer, because prayer is how we commune with God and one of the ways we fight and receive strength spiritually.
For the spiritual warrior there is a correlation between prayer and wisdom. Prayer must be guided by wisdom, and wisdom for the christian is the Word of God. Psalm 119:98, 2 Timonthy 3:15

We pray in line with scripture believeing we do not pray amiss when praying from God's Word. James 4:3

What are the things contending with our faith?
1) Principalities, fallen angels, demons. Ephesians 6:12
2) Satan. Revelation 12:10
3) False prophets. Matthew 7:15-18
4) Wrong Doctrine. Matthew 16: 6-12
5) Storms of life. Mark 4:35-41
6) The world system. 1 John 4:4-6

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
