You must learn to fight with your faith, wrestle the devil in prayer and run with patience the race that is set before you, endure afflictions and hardship.

No Pain

No Gain

Do you know you have an enemy? It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, you still have an enemy. There are unseen forces in this world that oppose you and they are a force to be reckoned with, it's the devil, it's evil spirits and the following scriptures instructs us what do, to be able to stand up against them!

Ephesians 6:10-18

King James Version

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

If you don't wrestle with these spirits, they can lead astray and take you captive and you may not even know it, until you realize you're bound in one area or another and wonder how this happened to you.

13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

The armour of God is the truth of God's word, which instructs us how we were made righteous and have peace, faith and salvation and how God's word in our mouth can be used as a sword against the enemy!

15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

So how does a flesh and blood human being wrestle with spirits, that you can't see, nor can you grab a hold of, but you can feel them at times, well we just read what to do and in the context of these scriptures it's talking about wrestling with spirits.

We wrestle with spirits in prayer and as you continue to pray and get in faith you will begin to engage evil spirits and wrestle with them and believe me it can get intense, and it takes inner strength, faith and perseverance to overcome them and little by little you overcome them, not in one day or one month, it can takes years, but as you continue to wrestle these spirits in prayer and then hold onto your ground walking in the word you will keep putting them under your feet!

God can put prayers in your heart and reading the word of God out loud is a form of prayer and the reason you are having trouble engaging these spirits in prayer is because they have you so bound your having trouble getting your faith stirred up, because once you get your faith flowing the Spirit of the living God will work through you and then you will wrestle the devil by the Spirit of God.

You can only overcome the devil by the Spirit of God, you cannot overcome these evil spirits in your own strength, they are stronger then you.

The body of Christ must learn to wrestle the devil in prayer! In this audio below I am wrestling the devil in prayer!

Jesus was praying so fervently in the garden of Gethsemane, it was as though he sweat as drops of blood, getting ready to go to the cross.
