Learn To Fight From Heaven

Learn To Fight From Heaven

They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera [Judges 5:20}.


The verse above is part of a beautiful account in the Bible of a time when the children of Israel were being oppressed by the king of Canaan {Judges 4:2}. Deborah, who was the prophetess and Judge of Israel at the time sent for a man called Barak and prophesied to him that God would use him to deliver Israel {Judges 4:6-7}.


In the ensuing Battle, the Bible says “…The LORD Discomfited Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his host, with the edge of the sword before Barak; so that Sisera lighted down off his chariots,and fled away on his feet” {Judges 4:15}. Though
Sisera didn’t know it, he was fighting a heavenly host, and not just army of Israel; “the stars in their courses fought against Sisera” {Judges 5:20}.

When you’re faced with opposition, don’t fight from this earthly realm-learn to fight from heaven. Let’s imagine there’s someone threatening your job at work because you’re born again. Rather that cry “O, God, why me?” or try to lobby some powerful people to plead for your job, you ought to get home, lock yourself in your room and begin to speak in tongues violently; directing your mind towards the situation.

As you do this, angel will mobilized, and circumstances will be shifted for your sake. Things will be rearranged in your favour. No wonder the Bible says “…all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose” {Romans 8:28}. This is the reason I always say that as a child of God, you can never be disadvantaged. There’s no need for dejection, sadness or despair, for nothing and no one can successful stand against you when you learn to fight from heaven.
When you know how to fight from heaven, you’ll never lean on the arm of flash, for you know that your help comes from the Lord of heaven and earth! He has commanded everything that exist-living and non-living to work together for your good.

Prayer
Dear Father, thank you for teaching me today how to fight from heaven! I refuse to rely on human ability or might, but rather on the power of the Holy Ghost that’s been made available to me. As I speak in other tongues, my angels are mobilized to move on my behalf and put my adversaries to flight, in the Name of Jesus. Amen.


Psalm 20:7 Zachariah 4:6

HAVE FAITH IN GOD

And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God (Mark 11:22).

When Jesus said in Mark 11:22 “Have faith in God,” the literal connotation of the expression is: “Have the faith of God,” or “Have the God-kind of faith; the supernatural faith that God applies. This implies that you can apply the same principles as God did throughout the scriptures and be guaranteed the same results.

For example, when God told Abraham, “ I have made thee a father of many nations” (Romans 4:17), he was about a hundred years old at the time, and Sarah his wife, who was already ninety years old, apart from being barren had also reached menopause. Hence it wasn’t naturally possible for them to bear children. Yet, God told Abraham, “a father of many nations have I made thee” (Genesis 17:5), and called Sarah “mother of nations” (Genesis 17:16).

This was the faith of God in operation; it calls things that be not as though they were (Romans 4:17). And true to God’s Word, the Bible says “…Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him” (Genesis 21:2).

You’ve been called to operate the God-kind of faith. You too can call things that be not as though they were! Through your faith-proclamations you can call forth your desires and bring into existence your favorable expectations, based on the Word of God.

Remember, as He is, so are we in this world (1John 4:17); we can function like God; we can emulate His faith and have His kind of results.

Confession
I know who I am. As Jesus is, so am I in this world. I function by the same principles of faith by which my heavenly Father made the heavens and the earth! Today, by my confessions of faith, I’m framing my world and causing the circumstances of my life to be in sync with God’s perfect will for me. Glory to God!

John 8:28
Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

Spiritual Exercise

Physical exercise has some value, but spiritual exercise is valuable in every way, because it promises life both for the present and for the future (1 Timothy 4:8 GNB).

The most successful people in the world do very little thinking, yet achieve so much. This may come to you as a surprise but it’s the truth. They have learnt to look to their spirits for answers. To be very successful you have to train your spirit, Exercise your spirit. As a new creation in Christ Jesus, your spirit can be an accurate guide because that’s where the light of God is: “The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly” (Proverbs 20:27).

Your spirit can receive light from God; ideas and thoughts that'll make you creative and excellent in all you do, such that you’ll hardly find yourself in trial-and-error situations. But for your spirit to be an accurate guide, you have to educate him. This kind of eduction is different from what you get from school. School education only helps to get your mind enlightened, but won’t suffice for you to be the best in life. That’s because the highest potential of the human nature isn’t in the mind but in the spirit.

So begin the exercise of educating your spirit with the Word. Do this by studying and meditating on the Word consistently. Spend quality time to listen to God’s Word regularly! That way, you develop your spirit for success and excellence. God’s plan is for you to have your spirit Exercised so He can relate with you at a high level.

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the revelation of your Word to my spirit today. The entrance of your Word into my spirit grants me the light by which I function in the high levels of glory! As I study and contemplate your Word today, my spirit-man is illuminated to become a sure guide. Therefore, I know I won’t walk in confusion, for I have in me the light of life.
