Spiritual Warfare

2 Corinthians 10:4-5
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.
Our weapons against spiritual warfare are prayer, faith, and the word of God. If we have faith and believe God, and we will come through victorious. When we use the word of God and faith to speak to the situation the word will set us free. When we are going through a battle, we should pray because prayer changes the outcome of the situation. It will not change the fact that we must go through the battle and pass the test. But it will change our state of mind and if we overcome. When we use these weapons, God will give us peace in the mist of the situation and victory will be ours.

James 5:16 Confess your faults to one another. and pray for one another, that you might be healed.The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
We need to pray about everything and talk to God about what we need. Giving God all the thanks and all the praise and telling him what we need. Your effectual fervent prayer's availeth much meaning those prayers and requests that we(as righteous men and women)make known unto God will be answered.
Therefore when you going through spiritual warfare we should pray and have faith believing that our prayers will be answered. All we have to have is faith the size of a mustard seed and our situation will be changed. Changed because of our attitudes, our state of mind and how we handle the warfare. Warfare is not something that will be removed because these are the trials which make us stronger and help us to grow in God.

Ephesians 6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
If we use faith as a shield against the wicked, it will extinguish the fiery darts (trial, tribulations, turmoil, depression, anxiety, stress, offences and anything else that disturbs our spirit man and keeps our minds on things of this world instead of on the things of God)of the wicked.
If we speak the word of God with faith, in the time of our warfare, the word of God will speak life to every situation.
Spiritual warfare a necessary evil, warfare come but it can only make us stronger. When Jesus was whipped and bruised for our iniquities, it released the power of God and because of it we were all healed(by his stripes we are healed). When Jesus was crucified on the cross this was spiritual warfare which also made him stronger, now because of his sacrifice we can all be saved.
(John 12:32)...if I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men unto me.
Because of the warfare that Jesus suffered at his crucifixion, now we are able to receive unto ourselves the salvation of Jesus Christ and we may be saved. Therefore if we never go through warfare how can we become strong enough to stand through our trials, and become the people who God has chosen and called by name.
When you pray, do not pray that spiritual warfare does not come, but rather pray that God will give you the strength to stand in faith, praying, letting our request be known unto God and speaking life to our situations through the word of God. Then it will make you stronger.
