Spiritual Warfare And The Deuteronomy FactorPosted by Nick Niesen on October 26th, 2010 The Three Principles of Spiritual Warfare are explained in Deuteronomy 2. To achieve victory, you and I must follow these same principles to the letter. Following them ensures our victory while disregarding them can spell defeat for us as we go after fulfilling our need. These three principles are absolutely essential for us to follow. ? Whatever your need, these three principles must be understood. Your may need healing, help for a loved one or improvement in your finances. Whatever your need happens to be, adherence to these three principles will determine your level of victory or lack of it. Now let us apply these Three Warfare Principles. Say you need healing. 1. You cannot peacefully coexist with the devil or his sickness. Moses tried this with King Sihon but King Sihon would have nothing of it. This resulted in a fight to the death. You see, Moses tried to peacefully pass by Sihon on the way into the Promised Land. Sihon would not let him pass peacefully. Deut 2:30 Since Sihon would not let him pass peacefully, war to the finish had to be declared and won. Moses could not peacefully coexist with King Sihon. 2. When you rout the devil on one front, he will come at you from another. (They barely had King Sihon sprawled at their feet in total defeat when King Og came at them with a vengeance, Deuteronomy 3:1-7.) Nevertheless, be not alarmed at this because we have the victory guaranteed to us in advance. The victory is guaranteed because the battle is the Lord?s. Deut 3:21-22 In other words, no matter how many kings come against you (they had to face seven kings here), the victory is guaranteed by God himself. He said he would do to the remaining five what He had already done to the first two. 3. We must be armed to the teeth at all times. Deut 3:18 ?Armed,? in this context, lasts until they have completed the taking of the land God promised them. They are to be armed to the teeth until they are at complete peace and rest in the land. See Deuteronomy 3:20. You, too, must be armed to the teeth until you have complete victory and are in possession of your promised blessings. These three principles must be utilized in our fight for the healing of our loved ones. Our objectives are different and our weapons are different. We don?t use spears and battle axes in our spiritual warfare to take back our blessings of health, family well being and prosperity. Our weapons are different but the principles are the same. We still, however, employ the same three principles given above. ? We cannot coexist with what Satan has put on us. Go for it! Work the Three Principles. The victory is yours. Like it?
