In this final session on spiritual warfare, Phil Mason took his audience on a journey of exploring the skills of defensive warfare. We are always engaged in spiritual warfare because the devil doesn’t go on holiday.

To become ‘more than a conqueror’ and an overcomer, we must avail ourselves of the full protective gear God provides for us as we step onto the battlefield. Every piece of spiritual armour contributes to our complete protection from everything the powers of darkness throw at us.

Understanding the significance of each piece of armour referenced in Ephesians 6 informs us of the nature of the battle we are facing. This is essential equipping for every follower of Christ. We hope you have enjoyed this series!

As we continue our series on the Life of the Warrior, Maria brings us a powerful message about some key skills for the battle. In Psalm 144:1 we read: "Praise be to the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle." David knew the secret to victory! Before you defeat your Goliath, before you go to war, before you move the mountain... we must undergo training!

Our mindset for the battle truly matters, and we must arm our minds with this understanding. More than anything, we must choose to be trained. We must decide to follow “God’s program” to become great warriors!

David understood the key to producing radical warriors, and it wasn't about training with spears and swords; it was in the secret place! He taught his men to be adored by God—to be embraced with the intimacy of Heaven. They were anointed because they pursued the anointing! They recognised that the secret to overcoming was intimacy with God.

Many people are hesitant to fully exercise their authority these days for a variety of reasons, with a significant one being the fear of being cancelled. Maria shared ten reflexes for warfare fitness! Ten responses to stay ahead of the battle. We enforce the victory because He is the victory! We are on the winning team with Jesus! "Let the weak say- I am strong!"

In this message Phil Mason explores what God has already done in us through the new birth, versus what He is now doing in us as we follow Him as He leads us into freedom.

There are several factors that remain active in the life of the Christian until we learn how to deactivate them. The world, the flesh, and the devil all continue to exercise influence in our lives until we learn how to cut off these influences through the power of the cross and the power of the blood of Christ. These dark and sinister influences can persist in the life of an unguarded Christian who doesn’t understand the power and authority that Christ has given us to become, in his words, “overcomers!”

The challenge for each of us is to overcome the world, the flesh, the devil, sin, demonic infiltration, generational strongholds, and emotional brokenness.

Jesus has made full provision for our complete freedom, but we must learn how to activate the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives and deactivate every dark thing that seeks to rule and dominate our lives.

We hope this message is a blessing to everyone and will encourage you in your ongoing journey to pursue the life of an overcomer.
