Just imagine the spiritual battle is like a Spartan time, where all warriors with muscle and big arm holding a strong sword, long and huge striking with loud steel sound. Just imagine we're fighting with them, a small body size, not long and huge enough sword and weak. When the enemy strike us, we try to protect ourself with our sword, but we fall! Again one more waving from the enemy, we try to hold the strike by defending ourself with our sword, again we fall down to the ground. Than we try to run from our enemy, we turn back to them and they pull our leg, try to kill us and we strike back..but their shield is more tougher and solid than ours.
The question is how can we fight them? How can we defeat them when we are not strong, not enough muscle and no strategies in fighting? This battle happen in our mind! The enemy strike to our mind while try to control our mind so that we're losing. The answer is in:
Pro 30:5 Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
The Proverb give us one simple and best solution, Word of God! Word of God! Word of God! No matter how and what we try to do to defeat or fight the enemy, we can't! Possible! Cause we are weak, we have only small sword and we have no strategies!
Than let's refer to the Word of God. Tips to grow stronger and win the battle base on the word of God:
To have strong shield and armor:
Eph 6:14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
Eph 6:15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace.
Eph 6:16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one;
To have solid sword, strong and huge sword is:
Eph 6:17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,
As we let Spirit of God lead our life, that's why He said in Proverb 30:5...take refuge in him... In Him there is protection! In Him, He is fighting for us. Just imagine that God is like the power that live in us. Once we are weak, we have to come to God again and ask for the fresh new anointing, that we may be filled again so that we have the power (Act 1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." )
Than, when we already have the power, what we can do is to activate that power and let God control us with the Power and Fight for Us! To win the battle we have to use the strength and power from God! We can base on our own power only!
Thats why God said, Joh 15:7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you..
Than, we already have few solution to win a battle in our mind, so that we will not get corrupted and influence to evil ideas, spirit and evil hobby. Fed our self with the word, with the spirit and let God control our mind! Rise Up! Let's activate the power that God already gave us, use the power to fight and let the Spirit in us fight for us!
