Warfare Strategy
What warfare strategy is used in fighting an unseen enemy? We don’t fight with the weapons of man; we go into battle under the leadership of our God.
Throughout scripture, especially in the Old Testament, we see how God directed the kings of Judah and Israel to defeat the enemies who came against them. We can learn much about God and His warfare strategies by studying His victories in the books of Joshua and 2 Chronicles.

- BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS in place.
- FEET fitted with the READINESS that comes from the gospel of peace.
- SHIELD OF FAITH, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

We are to love our enemies, to bless those who curse us, and to go to battle when and as God leads. He is our commander.

We serve a God who never loses a battle. He is victorious. Always. Though it appears we have no control over this invisible enemy, let me reassure you – we, as God’s children, have control in ways we do not realize. We have spiritual authority to defeat this enemy and we have weapons
