How to T.R.A.I.N yourself for Spiritual Warfare

T = TARGET YOUR ENEMY

Find out who you are up against

1 Peter 5:8 – Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. ESV

SATAN IS REAL!!! Most Christians don’t believe the devil is real!

Eph 6:12 – For our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world powers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavens.

We are at war… The Enemy is the DEVIL!!!!

R = REBEL

Rebel against the devil and his wicked plans

James 4:7 – So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

HOW DO I KNOW WHAT IS RIGHT OR WRONG?

A = ACTIVELY PREPARE YOURSELF

If you’re not prepared DAILY for Battle…

Eph 4:27 – and don’t give the Devil an opportunity.

So how do I prepare?

1. Be in your Bible DAILY
   2 Timothy 3:16-17 – All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
2. Pray every day and ALL Day
   1 Thessalonians 5:16-19 – pray continually;
3. Hang around with other Believers
   Hebrews 10:25 – Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

I = INTERROGATE YOURSELF

You know what your struggles are…

You know what things the Devil uses against you…

James 1:21 – So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls.

Hebrews 4:12 – For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

Every day… Get up and prepare yourself for battle starting from the inside out!

N = NEVER BE THE SAME

2 Corinthians 5:17 – Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!

As you TRAIN… don’t revert back to your old ways in life, but always move forward and never be the same!

Psalm 103:12 – He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west.

Ask for forgiveness, Forgive yourself and move forward!
