Bible Study

     Paul concludes his letter to the Ephesians with the most important message. A message like an admiral addresses to a vast group of soldiers, Navy, Army and Air Force before the final battle.

     And the message is: 
1. Follow the King's command
2. In the designated war zone
3. Use the required weapons

     Paul is trying all his best to tell the Ephesians and us the reason that the Church can not have unity and broken relationships everywhere is because we do not understand we have been facing a spiritual warfare which is beyond our ability to tackle and win. No way! Why?

     Because we might not be willing to obey Jesus Kingship, fight on the wrong war zone and do not know we need spiritual weapons. Do you know how to fight this spiritual warfare? 

     

Let's have a time to be still and give the Holy Spirit space to speak through the passage we have just read. Offer this time up to Jesus as you listen to him, while listening to "Gabriel's Oboe":  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmax47l2hLU

Spiritual Journal

    The title I heard from Jesus today is: Use spiritual weapons to fight spiritual warfare please!

    What I got from Jesus today is an important command to all of us. Do you know how to say, "Yes, Sir." to His command? 

1. You have to be sure that you really obey Jesus' Kingship
    You need to know whether you are following Him as your King. You need to know whether you are able to listen to His command? You need to know whether you are willing to say, "Yes, Sir" and move forward in His direction.

2. You have to know where Jesus wants you to fight this spiritual warfare
    The place you fight this spiritual warfare should be somewhat like these places: prayer meeting of your church, kneeling in a place you choose to pray, fasting in somewhere and more…

3. Use spiritual weapons
    Spiritual weapons should be praying, fasting, kneeling to pray, prayer walking, praying for your country,rulers, authorities, pastors, leaders and people of your church, family members and more…

   There is a better chance if you know how to follow Jesus as your King to fight this spiritual warfare. Your daily intimate personal relationship with Jesus will secure your way to use suitable spiritual weapons to fight this severe spiritual warfare.
    
Dear Lord Jesus,
You are our King. Lead us to use suitable spiritual weapons to fight this spiritual warfare. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
