Text: Revelation 12:11
Exhortation:
Whether we realize it or not, the whole world is at war- spiritual war with evil forces mostly unseen.
Though we walk in the flesh as mortal men, we are not carrying on our spiritual warfare according to the flesh and using the weapons of man. The weapons of our warfare are not physical weapons of flesh and blood. Our weapons are divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying sophisticated arguments and every exalted and proud thing that sets itself up against the true knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought and purpose captive to the obedience of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:3-5 AMP).
We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against the serpents categorized into principalities, powers, the rulers of the darkness of this world, and spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12
However, for as many as have made the Lord their choice and deploy the use of the right weapons, there is an assurance of victory.
The two most highly potent weapons that overcome the serpents are the Blood of the Lamb and the Word of God- Revelation 12:11. The enemy cannot resist them.
The word of God acts as a double-edged sword that cuts down the serpent; like a hammer that smashes its ugly head and like a fire that consumes it- Jeremiah 23:29; Hebrews 4:12.
Prayer Nuggets:
1. Father, thank you for your word and the blood of Jesus that overcomes.
2. In Jesus name, I cast down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God in my life in Jesus name.
3. I pull down every stronghold limiting my progress in Jesus name.
4. I cut down every serpent deployed against me and smash their heads completely in Jesus name.
5. By the blood of Jesus, I exercise victory over the every serpent on evil assignment in my life be it from the air, forest, sea or land.
