Believers in Christ have no spiritual power in of
ourselves; we are completely dependent upon Jesus and the Holy
Spirit to offset this limitation. Jesus is the head of the church
and He has provided us with the defensive weapons of truth,
righteousness, the gospel, faith, salvation, the Word of God and
prayer. Just like police officers don body armor before they serve a
warrant on a criminal, we too need to put on our spiritual body
armor in order to protect ourselves from the Devil's onslaught.
Jesus is our commander-in-chief but we need to be pro-active. A
prayer warrior who is connected to God the Father will be able to
move mountains. Prayer is like a forward air controller embedded
with combat soldiers on the battlefield. His job is to locate the
enemy, calculate the coordinates of the enemy position, and then
communicate to the control center and order in air and artillery
strikes on the enemy position. It is possible to be victorious in
your Christian walk. It's just a matter of accessing the throne room
of God and maintaining that link during your time on earth. |
