You can learn a lot from King David. He was a great warrior who also knew how to fight spiritually! Notice when he did NOT engage in battle, is when he stumbled into the most trouble.
Too many Christians are NOT engaging in spiritual battle. Even the New Testament, instructs you to put on your armor and cast out demons. So why have Christians decided to be the devil’s doormat? Is it in the name of love? Believe it or not, you can love and still protect yourself spiritually!
When I was scammed the first scripture the Lord gave me was Psalm 54 — look up the verse so you can Highlight it. When you’re being attacked, don’t drag your toe in the sand and wallow in self-pity groaning, “Ohhhh, why me, Lord!” Because Evil exists. Instead, read Psalm 54 out loud to God. Then stand back and let the Mighty Lord handle your enemy! Do not practice vengeance, but rather spiritual preservation for peace of mind.
If you are being verbally attacked, memorize Isaiah 54:17 and say it out loud to the Lord to break off those bad spiritual seeds. The Lord will tell you, even in your dreams, if you are being attacked. Bad words aimed at you are like witchcraft spells. Yeah, I said it! It is written that death and life are in the power of the tongue. Prv. 18:21
Dream Symbols to be aware of: Snakes, spiders, rats, bees, and a knife. If you see a knife in a positive dream, it means you have discernment. If you see a knife in a disturbing dream, it means gossip or tongue. But remember, it might be your own mouth God is warning you about! If you unwittingly catch yourself saying something against self or others, immediately “cancel it” in the name of Jesus. We all stumble, we all make mistakes, so learn from it. Become aware of your mouth — listen to yourself for a day — you will know where your heart lies.
Scriptures to add to your artillery are Psalm 91 & 35. Now If the Lord instructs you to use Psalm 35: 6 — let their way be dark and slippery with the angel of the Lord pursuing them — don’t use a fat, chunky cheeked cherub. Go ahead and pull out the big guns and use a giant, fully-armed angel and feel the ooze of spiritual protection.
If you walk a righteous life, then God will protect you! For He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from deadly pestilence. He will cover you with His pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and buckler. Ps. 91:3 & 4
