The Holy War: the war between good and evil

The Weapons of our Warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds in the Name of Yahshua/Jesus.

These weapons include: 

Faith

faith is a belief and trust in and/or confident attitude and/or lifestyle towards God involving commitment to His will for one's life, faith cometh by hearing. Faith is not only a belief in the doctrines, commandmants, laws, judgments and statutes of God, but in the Word and Person of God, faith is to hear, believe and do God's Word. Faith (at the intellectual level) is a person's acknowledgement/belief in a truth, but they are not saved by this level/type of faith, however faith (at the saving level) is faith that not only acknowledges a truth of God, but believes in the whole Truth of God in Christ and one's reliance and commitment to Him, conviction, trust, confidence, firmness, assurance, steadfastness and enduring commitment, KNOW THAT FAITH WITHOUT WORKS ID DEAD.

Prayer

prayer is communication with God, it's having a relationship with God in order to speak and communicate with Him, it's a two-way conversation, hearing, listening, talking and doing. Prayer is a dialogue between God and people and because God is a personal God, people can offer up prayers to Him, prayers of confession, prayers of forgiveness, prayers of petition, prayers of thanksgiving, supplication and intercession, but you must be Born-Again. Prayer is about reaching a Higher-Level, a Spiritual Dimension and getting a response from a Supernatural-Being that is above and outside of onself, yet at-one with oneself and by asking He manifest your answer(s) in the natural. The Church is the Body of Christ and because she is redeemed, healed, restored, justified, declared righteous, sanctified, holy and set-apart and created in the image and likeness of her God through the Name of Jesus, she is united One with Him and does all things in and through His Name and as she engages in spiritual warfare and battle it must be understood that prayer is not only a weapon in our warfare against sin, unrighteous, the world and Satan but prayer is the battle and war itself, it is the very battleground for which the war is waged, the spiritual conflict of good and evil.

Praise

praise is an act of worship and means to acknowledge the worth, merit, price and value of God and extolled, for God is a person of Eternal, Spiritual, Moral and Divine nature and He alone is worthy to be praised for who He is, what He is and stands for and what He does. Hallelujah: to praise, give thanksgiving and to rejoice over, with and about, exalting Him for His love and power, honoring Him and giving Him credit and homage, praise has the purpose of bringing us into God's Presence.

Name

name is a lable or designation that sets one person apart from another, in the Bible a name is much more than an identifer, personal names were formed from words that had their own specific and prophetic meaning, There is a connection between the name of the person it identified and who the person is with regards to their nature. Jesus is the Word of God and to understand God one must understand His Word who is God manifested in the flesh, the God-Man and His name is Jesus, Yahweh, the Son of God. In understanding the name of Jesus is to understand God, Jesus is the name of God in the flesh, in the earth, incarnated dwelling among men.

Blood

blood in the medical and physical sense is the fluid circulated by the heart through the vertebrate vascular system carrying oxygen and nutrients throughout the body and carries away waste. Jesus presented His sinless body/self as a sin offering and sacrifice for the sins of mankind and as a result He literally and physically died on the Cross at Calvary and shed His Blood, blood in the Biblical Scriptures is the central theme regarding sacrifice and Jesus Christ is the One and Once for all Sacrifice, He is the Paschal and Passover Lamb of God, His Blood is shed for the ransom and forgiveness of sins and trespasses, restoration unto God the Father and securing eternal redemption. Blood has brought each and everyone who claims the Name of Jesus Christ, but it's also the Blood of Jesus that binds and joins His believers together, thus forming the Church of Jesus Christ, the Body, therefore the blood represents family relationships, descents from noble and royal lineage, the Family of God.

Agreement

agreement is to be in harmony in belief, thought, feeling, opinion and decision, to be on one accord, an orderly arrangement between individuals regarding a method and course of action, a covenant. Agreement first begins with God through Jesus Christ, a God focus and a heart close, directed and submitted to Him and this agreement results in Covenant, relationship and fellowship, this agreement is then transmitted to other Born-Again believers that make up and form the Church, which is the Body of Christ and this agreement results in fellowship. Agreement means to come into harmony with, to live in and with One Accord, intercessors agree with the Word and Spirit of God in and on that which He has called and ordained them to accomplish through spiritual warfare.

Fasting

fasting is refraining from food for both physical and spiritual meaning, physically (in order to lose weight, in addition to medical purposes) and for spiritual meaning and purposes fasting brings one into a much more deeper and powerful relationship with God, one of love, intimacy and power. Fasting is a mighty weapon of spiritual warfare and battle, coupled with prayer it is the cutting-edge of a two-edged-sword. Fasting is resisting the Flesh (ungoldly desires) and the refraining from the ingestion of information, beliefs, doctrines and ideas that have have negative and destructive consequences and effects upon the soul: mentally, emotionally and behaviorally. Fasting is resisting the World and its negative and destructive influences and impact, fasting is resisting the Devil/Satan and the spiritual wickedness and the evils in high and unseen places.

For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh, but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God for it is not subject to the law of God, neither in deed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you, now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ he is none of his.

All Praises due to God
