For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:

(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
[II Corinthians 10:3-4]

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

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.

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.

Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,

For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
[Ephesians 6:10-20]

We are the children of God. We are commanded by the bible to live for him. He gave us his life as a sacrifice for our sins. Along with that sacrifice came the authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. We are to boldly go forth and proclaim the Almighty Saving power of God. But do most Christians act this way? No. We cower in fear of Satan, trying to blame everything on him. Mighty Warriors? Try Cowering Wimps. We need to get it into our heads that Jesus is an almighty God; and that he lives within us. Jesus tells us in John 14:12, that we will do even greater things than he did! “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.”

We have authority in Jesus Christ. We are to claim souls for him. But there is opposition. Satan has no intentions of making this easy for us. The Word says “..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.” II Corinthians 10:3-4 explains although we live in the flesh, we do not war in the flesh. We war in the spirit. But how do we war in the spirit? Ephesians 6:11 tells us, “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” So what do we use as the Weapons of Warfare? The Armor of God.
