OUR CHRIST LIKE CHARACTER IS OUR GREATEST DEFENSE

Sometimes we can't fight our battles, because our battles are not always with or in the flesh. Sometimes our battles are with the forces of darkness, although we are dealing with the flesh; there's another entity present in them, that's not of the flesh. So if we're not fighting a human opponent, the battle shouldn't be fought with human resources. We cannot stand against satan without the Word. This is why we need the belt of truth daily, to whole our armor and faith together, so we can stand on His Word in battle. Our Christ like character is our greatest defense against our enemies and Satan.

2 Corinthians 10:4-5 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."

Father, thank You, for fighting the battle in this world, we may not see and those we might forget is there. Lord, as believers in this dark world, it inevitable that we will encounter Spiritual warfare; prepare for the obstacles and attacks of the enemy, help us stay dressed in full body armor. Lord. Keep us close to You and alert of Satan's and His workers schemes. Arms us with the sword, the Word and help us retain what we have read, so can stand against the enemy’s lies. Equip us with Christ like strength, wisdom, and discernment through scripture and our faith, to stay strong in the spiritual warfare battle. FATHER, give us a strong desire to spend time in Your presence, through prayer, study, worship, and praise. Lord, You know our ways and understand our daily struggles so guard our hearts and minds and keep us focused on You. In Jesus name Amen
