The Ultimate Guide to Spiritual Warfare: Learn to Fight from Victory, Not for Victory!

You were not mass-produced like a Toyota. You are an original. Not a copy! You were handcrafted and handmade by God, who took his time to create you, making you “wonderfully complex.” You’re unique. You’re special. You’re one of a kind. There is no one else quite like you, dead or alive, in the whole world. Nor will there ever be.

God isn’t asking you to fight the devil. He is asking you to simply uphold or sustain the victory won by Jesus at Calvary and enforce his authority over the devil. You’re like the traffic warden who raises his hand and the vehicles stop. They don’t stop because he can physically bring the vehicles to a halt, but because he is representing and upholding the authority of the state.

To stand against the enemy is to rest in what Jesus has already done.

Don’t attempt to fight the enemy in your own strength. You will experience burnout, and you will fail. Don’t even think about it! The key is to engage in spiritual warfare God’s way. And that is by resting in him and fighting from victory, not for victory!

You have incredible potential. At your birth, you were loaded with everything you need to make an impact on the world.

God takes enormous satisfaction in seeing you victorious in your everyday life.

You can exercise your authority as a believer because you are seated with Jesus in the heavenly places.

If you are a believer in Christ, then you were predestined in eternity yet called in time.

As a born-again child of God, you have absolute authority over the devil through Jesus Christ.

Your authority as a believer comes from Jesus’s triumph over the enemy.

Only God is all-powerful. God is omnipotent. The devil isn’t.

Satan is not a lion, and he can’t devour you if you’re a believer.

Spiritual warfare begins and ends with praise.

Grace shows that the Christian race is God’s race.

The one surefire key to victory as a Christian in this fallen world is to be filled with the Holy Spirit—that is, to be completely submitted to and empowered by him.

No matter how long your night may have been, as the earth remains, your morning will definitely come.

Spiritual warfare is real. But you’ve got to realise that you shouldn’t be fighting a battle you’ve already won! That’s right. You defeated the devil in Christ more than two thousand years ago. You were nailed to the cross of Calvary in him. This became a reality for you the day you received Jesus into your heart as your Saviour and Lord.

You’ve got to always remember that the devil is a defeated foe. The battle has been won. You don’t need to fight him. So what do you do? You simply stand and exercise your authority. All you’ve got to do is exercise your authority.

In the great Bible passage on spiritual warfare, the word stand appears four times, while the word translated wrestle, battle, fight, or struggle appears only once. In essence, God is asking you to spend the majority of your time in warfare standing!

Although there’s only one way to heaven (through Jesus Christ), there are a million and one ways to crush the devil!
