Many Christians like to convince themselves that there is no battle in the realm of the Spirit because of the finished work of Christ, and probably because it might seem a more convenient theology! Nothing could be further from the truth, and the scriptures support this idea completely as does life! There are many battles we must fight and win!  In Ephesians 6, we read that after applying the spiritual armour of God, that we “can take our stand against the devil’s schemes.” In the Passion Translation, it says of Ephesians 6: “Stand victorious with the force of his explosive power flowing in and through you”!  Further to that, the battle that we are in, is not one that can even be waged with the world’s weapons, but through the powerful weapon of prayer! Through 1 Corinthians 10 and other key New Testament verses, we are given many keys to fighting the battle against internal and external strongholds of our hearts and in the realm of the Spirit.  Through this message we look at how taking our thoughts captive to Christ’s obedience is a key to winning the battle. There is also the powerful tool of binding and loosing through deliverance prayer and intercession. Beloved we are not left to our own devices; we are given such power through the privilege of prayer!  Our engagement to this reality is of the utmost importance in wining people to the freedom that is theirs and ours in Christ, and besides that, it is actually the most fun! Winning is your address! Beloved let us engage the battle and enjoy the journey with Christ as your light and armour!
