Fighting Spiritual Battles And Evil Dreams


1. Our Battles are Spiritual
Ephesians 6:11 – 12
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.

2. Spiritual Battles Don’t Care Your Status.
I Samuel 16:14 – 15
14 But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.
15 And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee.

You Need A Strategy: Don’t Fight The Air.
1Corinthians 9:26 - I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:

Strategies
1.Examine Yourself And Your Family
Psalms 26:2 - Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

1Corithians 11:28 - But let a man examine himself, …

2Corinthians 13:5 - Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. …

2.Get Help From An Anointed Man Of God
I Samuel 16:13 - Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward….

I Samuel 16:23And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.

3. Hand Over The Battle To God.
Psalms 35: 1 - Contend, O LORD, with those who contend with me; fight against those who fight against me! (RSV) (READ ALSO Psalms 35:1 – 8)

Exodus 14:13 – 14
13 -And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
14 The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.

4.     Praise God for Victory in Advance
2 Chronicles 20:22 - And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set “ambush” against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.
