Waging a Good Warfare

The strategy of the enemy is to keep us ignorant to his devices. His plan is simple... make things seem "not so serious"... "it's just life" meanwhile he's plotting how to wipe out your bloodline and keep you distracted. But let me tell you that it is not "just life" but warfare! Spiritual wickedness in high places. Our spiritual senses ought to be so heightened that even the thoughts that don't seem right we must pull them down immediately. Years ago the Holy Spirit taught me not to think on some things too much lest they end up manifesting.

Let's go deeper!

You dream about eating(especially foods that you're weak to in the flesh) get up and fast as eating will cause that "thing" that the enemy seeks to plant to manifest. Having sex in your dreams? Rise up and rebuke that spirit in the name of Jesus! Don't take it lightly. The enemy seeks to destroy us by any means so even our very dreams he'll try to inhabit.

And then I think of the prince of the air...

When Daniel had fasted and was praying and his prayer was delayed for 21 days, then the angel came to him and told him that his prayers were answered immediately, but he was intercepted by the prince of persia until Arcangel Michael had to intervene. Sometimes we pray once or for 7 days or for 40 days or for a year and think that we've prayed enough but Daniel's reality should tell us that there is an actual war going on and the enemy will stop at nothing to discourage us and even rob us of our blessings.

Then I think about the midnight hour...

There is something interesting about midnight, specifically the hours of 12am-3am, the hour of warfare! This is a time of high spiritual activity. Paul and Silas recognized this truth too in Acts 16:25-26. We can recount the parable of Jesus in Matthew about the 10 virgins going out to meet the bridegroom at midnight. Or when the woman swapped the dead baby for the living one in 1 Kings.

You see, 1 Peter tells us about the enemy walking about as a roaring lion, seeking whomever he may devour. Don't be deceived! Why do you think sleep comes upon us so heavily between the hours of 12am and 3am?

Wage a good warfare... fight!

Fight for your family! Fight for that job! Fight for your marriage! Fight! Shout and sing praises when discouragement tries to silence you! Clap your hands and stomp your feet.. confuse the enemy and scatter his council in the midnight hour! Call upon the Lord of Hosts at this time to strengthen you in battle.. call upon the mighty warrior who is victorious for it is in him that we have the victory! SHOUTTTTT until your Jericho walls fall down.. FIGHTTTT until your thigh is out of socket.. REJOICCEEE when the days seem gloomy. Find a reason to lift up your voice and cry out in the midnight hour! Declare, enough is enough and take it all back from the clutches of the enemy! Your marriage, your job, your finances... I cannot stress this enough.. FIGHTTTT! Break forth the atmosphere with your worship at this time, declare that you are victorious and your children's children also!
