Weapons of WarfareSample
Another powerful spiritual weapon is the “Name of Jesus.” Not only is the Lord’s name a mighty tower of defense, but it’s also like our spiritual password in prayer. Jesus instructed His followers to pray to the Father in “His name” (John 16:23).
We are saved by His name, “for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). We are also baptized into His name (Acts 2:38). Miracles, signs, and wonders are done in His mighty name (Acts 4:17).
When young David was fighting against Goliath, he boasted of coming against the giant, not with physical weapons, but with the name of his God. “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied” (1 Samuel 17:45).
Young David knew that the name of the Lord is a mighty spiritual weapon in the spiritual realm. The dark spiritual world knows the power and authority of Jesus’ name and it trembles. “In my name,” Jesus said, “they will cast out demons and speak in new tongues” (Mark 16:17).
All that dynamic spiritual authority is in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. “Anyone who has faith in Me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these. I [Jesus] will do whatever you ask in My name, and I will do it to glorify the Father” (John 14:12, 13).
His name is a powerful weapon because it represents all that Jesus accomplished both in the natural realm here on earth as well as in the spiritual world. When you declare “the name of Jesus” with faith, it’s as though Jesus himself were healing the sick, casting out demons, and raising the dead. “God has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow” (Philippians 2:9).

About this Plan
Spiritual warfare is won with spiritual weapons. On the ground, snakes are powerful and deadly, but in the air, they are weak, useless, and vulnerable. When an eagle takes the snake into the sky, everything changes. Snakes have no defense, no balance, and no power to strike in the air. Your enemy is the snake; you are the eagle. Take your battle into the prayer zone, and he becomes defeated.
