The Army Of The Lord

 

Revelation 19:14 –

 

This tells us clearly that we are a part of the lord’s army. We will return w/him in the last days, but until then we are still in his army fighting a spiritual battle against the enemy of our souls.

 

Ephesians 6:10-12 –

 

The war that we are called to fight is not against flesh and blood, it is against the devil in the spiritual realm.

 

I Peter 2:11 –

 

We are all at war with our souls. Our flesh is our enemy. We are not at war with each other, we are at war to overcome the temptations of Satan and be victorious.

 

Romans 7:23 - 

 

Our flesh is warring against our minds to bring us into captivity. There is victory over sin through prayer and intercession. Being in his presence wars against evil thoughts.

 

II Corinthians 10:3-5 –

 

Our weapons are received in the spiritual realm, not in the physical.

 

Romans 8:26-28 –

 

In his presence, through his spirit he knows what we need and he will make intercession for us. God will require us to be quiet and let him do the fighting through prayer.

 

Ecclesiastes 9:11-18 –

 

All of us come into battle at one time or another. It could be personal or it could be corporately. These battles are not physical, they are spiritual and they are against your soul and the body. They will effect your mind, then your hearts. But, God has called us to seek him for wisdom, we cannot trust our minds or our emotions. Wisdom is better than all the weapons of war. And this will only come during prayer in his presence.

 

Joel 2:11-13 –

 

The lord’s army is great and he is calling us to do warfare in the heavenlies. The day of the lord is approaching. But how can we go into war unprepared? We need to go to the lord and surrender to prepare for true spiritual warfare. Are we ready to come against the works of Satan? (II Chron 20:17) The way that we do battle is to get before God, without fear and stand and see our lord fight for us.

 

II Chronicles 32:7-8 –

 

When trouble comes, go to the lording prayer instead of the phone. We are stronger in our battles when he is with us. Greater is he that is in me than he who is in the world.

 

Joel 3:9-14 –

 

We are in the time of harvest. We are mighty with God in warfare. Let the weak say I am strong. God is mighty through us and he is telling us to prepare. Do you trust that he will fight for you? If not then you need to prepare. Seek him and be ready. It is battle time. Satan will fight us for the harvest.

 

I Timothy 2:1-2 –

 

We’re in God’s army and we’re called to pray and interceed, especially for those in authority over us. This is where the church has been lacking. Everything is coming apart. We have not taken our positions in his army to fight. We need to hear from God.

 

Ezekiel 22:23-31 –

 

As a soldier in God’s army will we just sit and watch the moral decay of our society? God is looking for someone to stand in the gap. We’re called to intercede and go to war on our knees. We need to seek his wisdom and his strategies. He will fight if we will pray and get his attention for help.

 

Isaiah 59:12-16 –

 

The apostasy and rebellion against God is growing. Truth is failing. Those who desire to live right will need to know how to fight against an evil society. But, here God observes that there is no one who could intercede on the behalf of a sinful nation. So, God had to do it himself through judgment. When God comes in with judgment no one will escape. He has called us into his army to war against our flesh and to war against the works of darkness against the world so that the harvest is plentiful.
