Many Christians do not understand the concept of spiritual warfare. We should master war, since we all seem to be living in an atmosphere filled with war. Warfare is conflict. The concept of war is simple—we are seated next to a risen Messiah. When He arose from the dead and ascended to His heavenly position to rule and reign, He prepared a place for us to sit next to Him. Through His blood, we can enter into the Throne Room and gain Father’s heart over any matter. Then from our seated position, we can walk in the earth, clothed in His glory and dispel darkness. He came to overcome the works of the devil and we can do this as we remain in Him. When the enemy attempts to pull you from your abiding seated place of authority, go to war! When the enemy, the god of this world, tries to stop you from ascending through communion into the Throne Room to gain revelation, GO TO WAR!

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints.” James 4:7–8 admonishes us:“Submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.”

For us to stand, we must submit. The word submit means “to stand under.” The word stand means “to go against.” The word withstand is the same word used for antihistamine. The Lord is saying: “Stand under My rule and authority. Be in authority and under authority. Stand against the governments of hell that would resist My purposes in the earth. Let Me build your resistance to Satan’s schemes in the earth. Overthrow His purposes. Let Me draw near to you, and let My presence overtake you.”

What should we do? First of all, find your place to stand. There are many gaps and broken places that have formed in each realm of our society. Intercessors stand. Prophets decree. Apostles execute. Get divinely aligned and stand in your assigned gap and watch as the wall of defense is rebuilt and the boundaries are extended. God’s purpose was that His glory would fill the earth. Keep standing until the glory has covered your sphere of authority! Also, keep standing with the full armor of God! Click HERE to watch this video by Robert Heidler on “Your Helmet of Salvation”.
