Believe In Your Weapon

 

In thinking of the anti-Christ spirit and power we often forget there is an anti-Christ program that is being carried out. What is the anti-Christ program? Anything that is against the principles of Christ is all a part of the anti-Christ program. No matter how religious, anything that stands against the gospel of Christ is operating under the influence of the anti-Christ spirit. How does born again believers know the attack of the enemy of Christ? Simply by his attack! Anything that exalts itself against and takes a stand against what the Word of God says is an attack on the born-again believer. (Be it physically, mentally or spiritually!)

This is why the armor of God has been provided and you must have an unwavering unshakable faith in your provided weapon.

Ephesians 6:16 says, ABOVE ALL taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. (17) And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the spirit, which is the Word of God. (18) Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.

Just because Paul places emphasis on “Above All” that doesn’t mean he is nullifying any other part of the armor. In verse 11 Paul states clearly

“Put on the WHOLE ARMOR of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil”.

When Paul says “Above All” first he says, Faith, second Helmet (covering the thoughts of your mind). 3rd Sword of The Spirit, Which Is The Word of God (right there is the weapon). 4th Praying and 5th Watching. These are characterized in a perfect and powerful order. Have Faith In Your Weapon! Satan along with this world’s orders (from government to religion) does not want you to believe in and trust in your weapon! He especially doesn’t want that weapon active in the hands of believers! The only thing this weapon needs is a steady hand of faith, a renewed mind and a vigilant prayer warrior. The Sword of The Spirit Is The Word of God and as born again believers we must have the same faith in our weapon as we have in our God. 

St John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Remember these words and never forget them “Above All”. This weapon in the believers’ steady hand of faith carries the strength of God Himself. The provided weapon carries the power of the creator of both the heavens and the earth. It will take nothing less than the full armor of God upon an active born-again believer to stand against the subtle hostile side of the anti-Christ program.

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 

There is only one overcoming weapon that holds conquering power over every attack of the enemy and to stand triumphant you must believe in it. There is only one weapon that prevails over the spiritual wickedness of these filthy anti-Christ programs. Anti-Christ programs that are being carried forth by the dark ruling powers of this world. Don’t allow the enemy to wear you out and cause you to be faint hearted. That’s exactly what he wants! This is why Paul said, Having Done All To Stand, Still Stand! Believe in your weapon on the same level of faith that you believe in your God! The Sword, The Word Must Be Held With A Firm Steady Hand of Faith!
