Spiritual Warfare

I had a dream yesterday night while I was asleep. In the dream, I saw people’s hands being handcuffed. Later, it broke. The Lord then reminded me of the word ‘Spiritual Warfare.’

As I was praying this morning, I remembered the dream and the Lord said, “The times ahead is going to be hard and rough but He promises to deliver us from the snares of the evil one.”
The word then came to me from…

Eph 6:12-13 “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the power of the dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.”

I feel that the time is near where a ‘war’ is about to come. Yes, we are fighting a spiritual war everyday but something more is about to come. I feel in my spirit that the Lord is saying that the best is yet to come. But He promises to deliver us and pull down all the strongholds.

2 Cor 10:3-4 “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 strong holds.”

I also felt in my spirit that there are a lot of negative emotions, a lot of struggles and a dissatisfaction in our church. And that we should be alert and with the full armor of God, we will stand our ground and stand firm on the promises of God.

Eph 6:18 “And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, BE ALERT, and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.”

So that is what I sense the Lord saying. I’m so excited! :)
