SERIES NOTES / THE REAL DISCLOSURE
The Weapons of our Warfare
2 Corinthians 10:3-6⌄
For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, being ready to punish every disobedience, when your obedience is complete..
- WHOSE YOU ARE — Position & Authority in Christ.
- WHAT YOU POSSESS — the weapons God has given you.
PART ONE / POSITION & AUTHORITY
WHOSE YOU ARE
1 Corinthians 6:19-20⌄
Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
Colossians 1:13-14⌄
He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
Ephesians 1:19-23⌄
and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
Ephesians 2:6⌄
And raised us up together and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
Romans 8:14-17⌄
For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.
2 Corinthians 5:17⌄
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
FOUR AREAS OF WARFARE
The Four Arenas of Warfare
01
Arena One: The Personal Internal Battle
- Addiction — alcohol, drugs, pornography, food, gambling, anything that has hooks in you
- Depression and despair
- Anxiety, panic, chronic fear
- Rejection — the wound that says you do not belong, you are not wanted
- Shame — the wound that says you are not just bad, you are wrong, guilty, worthless.
- Accusation — the inner voice rehearsing every failure
- Lust and besetting sexual sin
- Anger that you cannot control
- Loneliness, isolation, the feeling of being unloved
- Grief that has hardened into bitterness
- Suicidal thoughts
- Self-hatred
02
Arena Two: The Physical Battle
- Acute illness — the diagnosis that just came
- Chronic disease — the condition you have lived with for years
- Pain that does not respond to treatment
- Mental health conditions with biological roots
- Infertility and reproductive difficulty
- Disability and degenerative conditions
- Sickness in your spouse, your child, your grandchild, your friend
- Generational patterns of disease running through the family line
- Trauma stored in the body- body keeps the score.
- Sleep disorders, exhaustion that prayer alone has not lifted
03
Arena Three: Deliverance from Strongholds and Oppression
A stronghold is a satanic lie, a generational mindset, or a human wounding that you have listened to long enough, believed strong enough, and owned deep enough that it has become part of your identity. It has fortified itself in you and dictates your thoughts, your beliefs, your actions, and your reactions. It is an unholy filter through which all thoughts pass.
- Strongholds — patterns that have resisted years of prayer, counseling, and discipline- PRAYER AND FASTING!
- Generational patterns — the same sin, the same disease, the same wound running through three or four generations
- Oppression — a weight or presence that lifts when you pray and worship and it returns when you stop
- Demonic harassment — nightmares, dread, voices, presences in the home
- Open doors — past involvement in the occult, witchcraft, ouija, divination, false religions
- Trauma strongholds — places where abuse or violence opened a door the enemy is exploiting
- Family-line spiritual attack — the consistent breaking down of children, marriages, finances
04
Arena Four: Territorial — Nations, Cities, and the Advance of the Kingdom
- Your nation — leaders, laws, cultural direction, spiritual climate
- Your city or region — what spirit dominates the air over the place you live
- Government and elections
- Schools, universities, the academic shaping of the next generation
- Media, music , entertainment, sports, what enters the eyes and ears of millions
- Specific nations on the prophetic clock — Israel, Iran, the nations of the Middle East, the unreached
- Persecuted churches around the world
- Missionaries and gospel laborers
- Revival — the breaking open of a region to the gospel
PART TWO / WHAT GOD HAS GIVEN YOU
WHAT YOU POSSESS
THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD
Ephesians 6:13–17 (our series text)⌄
Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God….
PRAYER & PERSERVERANCE (and Fasting)
Ephesians 6:18–19⌄
….praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel…
James 5:13–15⌄
Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up.
THE NAME & BLOOD OF JESUS
Philippians 2:9–11⌄
Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Luke 10:17–20⌄
The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!” And he said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you. Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
Luke 10:17, 19⌄
Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name." "Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you."
THE GIFTS OF HOLY SPIRIT
1 Corinthians 12:4–11⌄
Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills.
