Satan has many names, tactics, tools, techniques, schemes, and strategies to use against the Body of Christ. As a believer I must know the tactics of the enemy against me as a believer because I am in a battle for my life. Many Churches are not teaching, preaching, or studying spiritual warfare. This war is between the Kingdom of GOD(Saints, righteousness, peace, Sacred Word, Holy Spirit) against Satan army of darkness(rebellion, lawlessness, pride, unrighteousness). So how are believers spending their quality time in the presence of ABBA. There is a hunger, thirst, craving, to be in the presence of ABBA daily through the Holy Spirit that I have never felt before. YAH is calling for intercessory prayer warriors the battle is here!


[h=1]Ephesians 6 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)[/h][h=3]Christian Warfare[/h]10 Finally, be strengthened by the Lord and by His vast strength. 11 Put on the full armor of God so that you can stand against the tactics[g] of the Devil. 12 For our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world powers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavens. 13 This is why you must take up the full armor of God, so that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having prepared everything, to take your stand. 14 Stand, therefore,
with truth like a belt around your waist,
righteousness like armor on your chest,
15 and your feet sandaled with readiness
for the gospel of peace.[h]
16 In every situation take the shield of faith,
and with it you will be able to extinguish
all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
17 Take the helmet of salvation,
and the sword of the Spirit,
which is God’s word.


18 Pray at all times in the Spirit with every prayer and request, and stay alert in this with all perseverance and intercession for all the saints. 19 Pray also for me, that the message may be given to me when I open my mouth to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel. 20 For this I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I might be bold enough in Him to speak as I should.

I've often thought if we could actually see the warfare with our natural eyes that most of us would drop dead from fright. Why this seems to not be taken more seriously, I know not. Human nature cares not to face things head on. We are more apt to adhere to what we want to hear.

Many Churches are not teaching, preaching, or studying spiritual warfare.
this is not even the biggest spiritual warfare problem in the churches nowdays...the biggest problem is that there is so much -false teaching- about spiritual warfare...many teachers have replaced sound doctrine with guesses and with stuff they made up...
