Battle Cry
Sound the trumpet
Isa 42:13
13 The LORD will march out like a mighty man,
like a warrior he will stir up his zeal;
with a shout he will raise the battle cry
and will triumph over his enemies.
Sound the trumpet
The battle cry has sounded the war has begun
The Lord our God is now marching out
He is marching out in you and in me
It is time for us to declare
War
THE REALAZATION HAS COME
THE LORD OUR GOD HAS WON
SATAN YOU HAVE LOST YOUR HOLD ON ME
THE BLOOD OF JESUS HAS SET ME FREE
THE SPIRIT OF GOD RESIDES WITHIN
I AM UNDEFETABLE WITH THE POWER FROM HIM
THANK YOU LORD FOR THE VICTORY
PRAISE BE TO THE KING OF GLORY
I have spoken to you the truth tonight
Sometimes the enemy yells and screams and makes himself out to be bigger and badder than he actually is
Often as we heard Friday night he defeats us with just words
Mere words
As long as he can keep you in conflict with yourself he has won
Tonight I declare war against Satan and all his demonic followers
<<<<<< >>>>>>>>
Jesus tells us in Luke 10 that He has given us authority to overcome all the power of the enemy and that nothing will harm us
2 Chron 20:15
Says Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army for the battle is not yours, but God’s
Do not allow the enemy to lie to you as you prepare for this war
<<<<<< >>>>>>>
Satan you’re a liar you are the father of lies I will not listen to you
See we have been given divine weapons, offensive and defensive weapons to demolish the enemy and every argument and every thing that would set itself up against the knowledge of God
Eph 6:10-19
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints--
Paul knew we were in war and instructed us to prepare for this war with the armor God has given
The belt of truth
We must as Christians be belted with truth. God desires truth and sincerity form within our inmost parts. The enemy cannot stand the truth when Satan begins to attack fight back with truth
Breastplate of righteousness
We are the righteousness of God through Christ. You see when we are saved Christ is implanted in our heart and He becomes the breastplate that fortifies our heart against the attacks which Satan makes.
Gospel of Peace (readiness about our feet that comes form the gospel of peace)
That is the message of Christ that is our witness it should be about our feet. Wherever we walk our life should portray Christ.
Shield of Faith
Faith becomes the barrier against the enemy. With out faith we are vulnerable and defeated. Faith not only makes us strong but it produces action, action that puts us on the offensive instead of the defensive. <<<<<<<< >>>>>>> The shield will prepare us for Victory.
Helmet of salvation
The helmet secures the head. It holds the knowledge of our salvation and we must protect ourselves against doubt because doubt will destroy us
Sword of the spirit
The word of God is our sword we must be know gable about our weapon if we expect to win. <<<<<< >>>>>>. We must place it within our hearts and use it effectively.
Prayer
Often left out of the armor of God. But an essential piece of equipment for spiritual war. Paul tells us to pray with all prayer with all supplication in the Spirit. We must pray from within the very Spirit of God that dwells in us making continual supplication (pleas) unto the Lord
As Brother Al taught us on Friday
We are not only given the armor of God as our weapons but also every weapon the enemy has is ours to use against him
Luke 11:21-22
21 "When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe. (The Devil)
22 But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, (Jesus which he did on the cross over 2,000 years ago) he takes away the armor (weapons) in which the man trusted and divides up the spoils. ( which means they have been given to us)
Pride
Lust
Bitterness
Stop being so passive, this is war
Fight fire with fire
Stop yielding to mere words
Stop cowering over the attack
Move from the defensive to the offensive
And attack the enemy
Stand up
If you will join the ranks of the Lord’s army
If you declare war against Satan
If tonight you desire to grasp your victory
Then when the music starts come forward and make a commitment to not back down form the enemy to stand your ground and use the weapons God has equipped you with.
Sound the trumpet
The battle cry has sounded the war has begun
