Warfare

I knew we are in a battle field. God taught me the importance of armor and  helped me choose the Battle verses in wimh and that was more than 10 years ago. But I had not known the distinctive differences and how to pray using it until Mohan uncle taught the other day.

Eph 6: 12
ஏனெனில், மாம்சத்தோடும் இரத்தத்தோடுமல்ல, துரைத்தனங்களோடும், அதிகாரங்களோடும், இப்பிரபஞ்சத்தின் அந்தகார லோகாதிபதிகளோடும், வானமண்டலங்களிலுள்ள பொல்லாத ஆவிகளின் சேனைகளோடும் நமக்குப் போராட்டம் உண்டு.
எபேசியர் 6:12
There are 4 kinds.
1. வானமண்டலங்களிலுள்ள பொல்லாத ஆவிகளின் சேனை
Spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
These evil spirits are neither in heaven or Earth but in the heavenly realm.  Their aim is to blind fold the people, so that their mind is not receptive to the truth.  They are above a city or a village building up their kingdom. They make the people blind and deaf to the gospel.
This was exactly like what I had read in the novel 'Piercing the darkness'!

Bind the devil in the name of Jesus. 
Resist the devil and he'll flee from you.

2. துரைத்தனங்கள.
Controlling Spirit. Spirit of slavery .
This can exhibit at home, church and at society. And nation at large.

At home it can be between husband and wife, in laws, etc where things are controlled by the evil spirit. At church it can be between committees, pastor and others.
This was there during the King's rule .where spirits were sent to control the people of the land ' horse yagam', 'Piercing yagam' etc.

Bind the devil in the name of Jesus. 
Break the bondage in the name of Jesus.
Resist the devil and he'll flee from you.

3. இப்பிரபஞ்சத்தின் அந்தகார லோகாதிபதிகளோடும்,
Powers of darkness. This refers to the evil mainly through witchcrafts. This was there during ancient times as well.  Pharoah had magicians with him. Exodus 7:1. Daniel 2:2.. king Nebuchadnezzar hadsome too. Acts 16:16, 19:19 says about it too.   It's much prevalent in these days too. Politicians refer their help in all their plans. Thus they are controlled by the evil spirit. Witchcrafts against family, churches, society are rampant.

Bind the devil in the name of Jesus. 
Resist the devil and he'll flee from you.

4. அதிகாரங்களோடும்,
There are 3 kinds.
1. Politicians. ( Those  responsible for creating policies, rules)
2. Government officials. ( Those who implement rules) Collectors,Tahsildar, police officer,
3. Judges, advocates.( Those who have supreme authority)

We have to pray that they are under God's sovereignty.
That they are filled with God's wisdom.  That the rules they create bring blessing to people.
That they are bold enough to stand for truth.
Bless the officials.
That the evil spirit bringing corruption, love of money, bribery be removed in the name of Jesus.
