~Spiritually Fit~
Monday, August 20, 2018
A warrior must be physically fit to enter battle. The same goes for a spiritual warrior, they must be spiritually fit before entering a spiritual battle.
What happens if a warrior is not fit?
A warrior entering a battle that's not physically fit is a warrior easily defeated. You can't win a battle if you're overweight, out of shape and nutritionally out of balance. Just as a physical warrior a spiritual warrior will not win any battles if they are not praying, reading God's word and living a life of worship.
As spiritual warriors we must be spiritually fit. Our prayer life must continue, we must study and meditate on God's Word and we must spend time worshiping the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. The absence of these three things leaves us unprepared, non-equipped and spiritually unbalanced. There are several things that help us become spiritually fit for battle, but we will stick with these three areas for now and explore them a little further.
Prayer is one of our weapons of offense. In prayer we can directly target things in the spirit. A prayer life keeps us focused and allows us to stay alert and be aware of the enemy's plan, tactics and schemes. The bible says, "men ought to always pray," Luke 18:1b (KJV). Without a prayer life we are left unguarded and vulnerable.
The Word of God is a sword. The bible says, "For the Word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires" Heb 4:12 (NLT). The sword of the spirit is one of our weapons of defense. It is used to cut, it is alive, active and full of power. When our enemy comes at us with lies, false beliefs, doubt, fear and discouragement, if we have read the word and know what it says, we can use it to tear down and dismantle those things.
Worship is another weapon of offense. In worship, we are giving honor to God. When we worship, we are giving the enemy a black eye. Worshiping God opens us up to receive direction and revelation. It releases the hand of God to fight on our behalf. Our worship releases angels, ministering spirits into the atmosphere.
To be a spiritual warrior you must be spiritually fit. Pray, read God's Word and worship to stay a spiritually fit warrior ready for battle!
