The posture for Spiritual Warfare

Pentecostals and Charismatics have to be extra careful in the area of engaging the enemy in spiritual warfare. We cannot afford to be flippant in the use of the Name of Jesus to do war with demons and powers of darkness with the wrong spiritual posture. Apostle Peter is not inexperienced in this matter and he identifies the pitfalls of warfare warriors and advises us on the right posture.

1Pe 5:5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
1Pe 5:6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
1Pe 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
1Pe 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

Pride was the downfall of Lucifer. Humility is prerequisite to be seated with Jesus in heavenly place.

A divine compassion for the lost and a holy disdain for the adversary of the souls of man ensures a sure victory for His Glory.

Superficiality chokes the human soul.

Consumerism and market-driven spirituality have given birth to shallowness and superficiality among the people attending church services and activities. Superficiality is so inhumane. It chokes the human soul and it stifles the nurturing of true and beautiful communion of the saints of God.

Man in the Mirror

Have you ever really stand in front of the mirror and look deep into your own eyes?
What do you see? Do you see Love? Fear? anger? ...or
From that inward revelation we turn to a vertical concentration.

Turn your eyes upon Jesus..Look full into His wonderful face.
and the things of this world will grow strangely dim
In the light of His Glory and Grace.
