Spiritual Warfare
Hello Sonicwhite
... not sure if this thread is still relevant to you ... but I'm new here and would like to provide the following insight...
Many people come to Christ Jesus and are convicted of their sin (had their hearts pricked unto repentance by the Holy Spirit) ... but are so poorly disciplined that they don't receive the HEALING of the Holy Spirit afterward.
This is the difference between being "saved" and "eternal Salvation".
You can't have the latter without the first... and you cannot be guaranteed of the latter, just by having the first.
Saved is being saved from Satan's power and bondage, right here and now, on earth today - Supernaturally
Salvation is as a consequence of being rejoined to Father God through the Holy Spirit and Living according to His Will - not as a sinner - through this Supernatural power
Much of the confusion and miss representation of the power transfer from Father God has been miss represented through 'denominal' pseudo christian religions... to keep people spiritually blind and tied up in a moneymaking framework.
Saved ... is receiving the Holy Spirit as described in Acts 2 and the Epistles, with "Holy Spirit manifested signs following".
The initial Biblical proof of being Saved is speaking in tongues. this is the first of the 9 Gifts of the Holy Spirit
these are 3 voice gifts, 3 discernment gifts, and 3 power gifts.
This is the Spiritual, Supernatural toolkit to fight off Satan.
This infilling of the Holy Spirit will happen after full immersion Baptism in the name of Jesus Christ, for the 'remission' of your sin.
Your sin is the INHERITED sin of the original sin - which you were born into.
ALL other sin, either inherited through the "sins of the fathers" or your own personal sin (e.g. like recreational pharmacopeia ... which the Bible defines as witchcraft) is able to be fought off and cast out by the using the 9 Gifts if the Holy Spirit.
Providing you then stay in the "Rest" of the Holy Spirit under Grace of Jesus Christ, by ... in Lord Jesus' words "go and sin no more", Salvation or eternal Life through the regeneration of your body into pure Righteous Spirit with be yours when the Lord Jesus Returns.
Addiction is a Spiritual battle
The Spirit of Addiction works with a series of tormenting, pain, lust and condemning demons (to name a few) and they attack in a pack.
Addiction is an epigenetic demonic affliction - which as Christ Jesus describes can be "cast out"
We 'appropriate' the Authority to use these Spiritual Weapons, and literally, reclaim our Godly selves through the finished work on the Cross of Christ Jesus.
THE WEAPONS OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE
The Christian walks is by faith, not by sight.
Therefore, the weapons of spiritual warfare must be known, recognized, understood, and appropriated, that is, TAKEN POSSESSION OF. Look up the scriptures associated with each, so that you can understand well the basis for which they are used.
The Holy Spirit places great importance upon them. The weapons of warfare are as follows:
1 The Gospel - this is the greatest weapon of spiritual warfare because it, alone, when accepted by the unbeliever, transfers that person from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of Light
John 12:46; Ephesians 5:8; 1 Thesselonians 5:5; 1 Peter 2:9; 1 John 1:6,7
2 The Blood of Jesus - Satan?s defeat
Revelation 12:11; 1 John 1:6,7
3 Faith - which empowers prayer
Heb 11: 1; Ephesians 6:12; Rev. 12:11; James 1: 6,7)
4 Your faith confession (the shield of faith) - these are your faith-filled words, spoken aloud from the applied Word of God, over another person, self, or circumstances
Mark 11:23, 24; Proverbs 18:21; Ephesians 6:16; Rev. 12:11
5 Prayer
Matthew 7:7; 1 John 3:22; 1 John 5: 14; Mark 11:23, 24; Proverbs 23:7; Proverbs 18:21
6 The Believer?s Authority - see previous Facebook post
7 The Full armorArmour of God
Ephesians 6:11-17
8 The Word of God
James 4:7; Matthew 4: 1-11
9 Binding and Loosing prayer
Matthew 16:19; Matthew 12:29
