The Battle of Attrition
The Battle of Attrition is a tactic the devil uses to wear you down and frustrate you until you give up, rather than outright defeating you. To combat this, it's crucial to stand firm and refuse to surrender, building your spiritual capacity through prayer and fasting. This battle tests your stamina and strength, requiring you to weather the storm without always seeing immediate results or prophetic guidance. The goal is to develop the resilience to stand firm, even when facing prolonged challenges, and to maintain your faith and commitment to God.
The Battle of Misrepresentation
In the Battle of Misrepresentation, the devil attempts to distort your image before others, aiming to provoke you into actions that confirm his lies. To overcome this, maintain your peace and avoid being drawn into drama. Silence can be a powerful weapon, allowing you to remain calm and focused on God's calling. Combat the devil's accusations by administering the blood of Jesus through walking in the light of scripture and partaking in communion. Declare the Word of God over your life, refusing to engage in arguments that drag you down to the enemy's level.
The Battle of Torment
The Battle of Torment involves the devil using fear and your weaknesses to enslave you. Overcoming this requires stirring up the gifts of power, love, and a sound mind that God has given you. Fear leads to desolation, so it's essential to actively cultivate these spiritual gifts to maintain a strong defence against torment. By embracing power, love, and a sound mind, you can conquer fear and avoid becoming a victim in this battle.
Direct Attacks
Direct attacks involve outright affliction by Satan and his demons, violating spiritual laws to oppress individuals. These attacks can manifest as physical ailments, sleep disturbances, or sexual molestation. It's important to recognise these realities and not dismiss them with theological arguments. Satan targets humanity because of God's love for people, violating spiritual laws to come against them.
Manipulation
Manipulation is a strategy where the devil compels you to make mistakes by introducing doubt and uncertainty about God's ordinances. This often involves questioning the need for prayer, church attendance, or obedience to biblical principles. To avoid this trap, never question God's ordinances and resist the temptation to challenge His commands. Recognise that questioning God's ways opens the door to manipulation and ultimately leads to destruction.
Weaponizing the Environment
Satan can use your environment as a weapon against you because creation is in bondage. This includes using elements like mosquitoes, cars, the sun, the moon, wind, and waves to cause affliction and destruction. As sons of God, we have a responsibility to bring deliverance to creation, preventing Satan from using what should bless us as a weapon. Pray over your environment, recognising that constellations and natural forces can be manipulated to work against you.
Putting Yolks on Lives
Satan puts yolks on people's lives, creating limitations that prevent them from fulfilling their destiny. These yolks can manifest as physical burdens, spiritual hindrances, or mental blocks. The anointing destroys these yolks, breaking the burdens and limitations imposed by the enemy. Recognise these limitations as warfare and rise up against them, declaring freedom in the name of Jesus.
