101 Tactics for Spiritual Warfareഉദാഹരണം

DAY 2: Speak the Name of Jesus

When we meet with spiritual warfare, we may be tempted to wrestle the enemy in the flesh. But since we wrestle not against flesh and blood, we won’t find victory in battle by taking on enemies with our intellect, reasoning, or sheer willpower. Paul told us the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but they are mighty in God (2 Cor. 10:4).

The mighty weapons with which God has furnished us work with one condition. We must wield this spiritual artillery under the lordship of Jesus Christ and with the authority He has given us in His name. Our baseline in any battle is understanding the power in the name of Jesus, praying in the name of Jesus, and otherwise taking authority over our enemies in the name of Jesus.

In our own authority we have no ability to stand against the devil. We cannot go toe-to-toe with the devil in our flesh, nor can we effectively use Jesus’s name in demonic confrontations without a revelation of the power it carries. Just like there is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12), there is no other name under heaven by which we can take authority over demon powers.

Meditate on the power in the name of Jesus. Get a revelation of the power in that name before you enter into battle to exercise your authority in Christ and you will see victory.
