Submit And Weapons...

How do we as Christians win a war?  The answer is easy, and it is found in James 4:7 (NASB), Submit therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you. All we have to do is be humble and submit to God; then we can win any battle. Let's look at verse 6 of James 4 (NASB), which says, 6 " But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, “God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
We always think we need to pray these amazing prayers, or go seek evil and deal with it, or fight at all. not at all do we need to do those things all we need to do is show up and be humble submit to God and we will the battle. It says it all in 8:31 of Romans (ESV) and it says, What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? Right there it says God is for us and if He is nothing can be against us like the verse says.
This doesn't mean we do nothing. We have a part in this battle, we are to submit time to reading His word, praying and speaking the Name of Jesus, and worshipping. I got another tingling feeling and this time it was from the lord because I was intent and worshipping as I was writing. So, I know that I am on the right track. God is with us and all we have to do is feel Him, how that looks for you I do not, for me it is a tingling feeling. These things we are submitting to are called our weapons and we are to use them daily.
The Whole Armor of God
Dear God
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. 16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; 17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, 18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, 19 and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak. Ephesians 6:10-20 ESV.
The devil does not like when we use our weapons. So, use your weapons today!
I submit to you 
God, I use this weapon to pray
And give you thanks and praise for the victory we already have
No power in hell or on earth can touch us
God, I pray that all the evil of the devil and his spirits go back down to hell where they belong
May God reign 
In Mighty Name of Jesus
Amen
