Satan being himself a spirit, he also attacks us in a spiritual way although the effects are apparently carnal.
The apostle Paul says that:
« For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. »(2 Corinthians 10:3-4)
In the world, it is in weakness, in this life of mortal man, surrounded by temptations and miseries, in the midst of battles.
Although we walk in the world and the devil attacks us in that very world, we must not fight or defend ourselves according to the world.
Rather, as children of God, we must embrace spiritual warfare.
In his epistle to the Ephesians, the apostle Paul describes how a child of God must be to face the attacks of the devil. He says:
« Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. »(Ephesians 6:14-17)
However, in our spiritual warfare, our most formidable assault weapons are and remain faith in God and the word of God.
So, with faith in God and the word of God, we can defend ourselves against all attacks, attack and fight the enemy through prayer.
Through prayer we torpedo all the schemes and plans that our enemies against us.
Through prayer we destroy reasonings and every haughtiness that rises up against the knowledge of God, to bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.
By prayer, we annihilate all the actions done without our knowledge on us, by the servants of the devil.
PRAYER:
Our Father who art in heaven, grant us to know how to wage our spiritual warfare well.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray, Amen.
