Warfare
"Be Strong in the Grace of Jesus Christ!" (2 Timothy 2:1)
Soldiers
“You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier.” (2 Timothy 2:3-4)
Guard Your “Word” Armor
Jesus said, “Now these are the ones sown among thorns; they are the ones who hear the word, and the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.” (Mark 4:19-20)
The mighty Church of Jesus Christ is being gathered together to move forward now under the greater anointing of Holy Spirit to be The Glorious Church with signs, wonders, and miracles that follow them, not only in the church building, but in the marketplace, business environments, etc., as we break out from the strongholds of a deceptive thief who has stolen the gifts long enough! Not only that, but he is after our nation as well.
What Jesus Has Already Done
“And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.”
(Colossians 2:13-15)
Go Into All the World and Preach — Mark 16:15-18
There is no demilitarized zone in God’s Kingdom. What is a demilitarized zone?
A demilitarized zone is an area from which weapons and military forces have been removed by mutual agreement.
Does that sound like your church?
That’s why we intercede. But there’s more that we can do!
The Power of Praise!
"Now when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were defeated." (2 Chronicles 20:22)
Ephesians 2:6 declares that we are seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Ron Kenoly had a song about twenty years ago, “We're Going Up to the High Places.” It’s powerful and it is more current today than it was back then.
Here’s the link and below are the lyrics. Get up, dance and sing praise to the Lord!

Ron Kenoly- We’re Going Up to the High Places
“We've been deceived by the devil too long
We gonna tear that devil's kingdom down
What he said was his, church, has been ours all along
Tonight, we're gonna tear that devil's kingdom down
We're going up to the high places
We're going up to the high places
We're going up to the high places
To tear the devil's kingdom down
Let's go up
Going up to the high places (we're going up)
Going up to the high places (we're going up)
Going up to the high places (we're going to...)
To tear the devil's kingdom down
Listen, we gotta be strong
We gotta be bold
We're gonna tear the devil's kingdom down
We're gonna reclaim everything that devil stole
We're gonna tear the devil's kingdom down
(Come on church) Let's go up
Going up to the high places (we're going)
Going up to the high places (we're going up)
Going up to the high places
We're gonna tear the devil's kingdom down
You know the church today, the church today is engaged in a spiritual warfare
And the battle goes on between the kingdom of darkness and the Army of God
And there is no demilitarized zone
You're either on the devil's side or on the Lord's side
Now we know that the Lord Jesus Christ has won the ultimate victory at Calvary, we know that don't we?
But our mission, our mission is to enforce and maintain all that Jesus bought for us at Calvary
There's a lot of things that the devil has stolen away from the church
Health, prosperity, peace in our homes and our communities, righteousness in our government
These the things the devil has stole
But as the army of God we're taking it back, amen?!
Are you with me? Yes!!!
Are you with me tonight? Yes!!!
Are you with me right now? Yes!!!
Well let's go up to the high place and fall that devil down
Oh yeah, come on church
Going up to the high places
We going up to the high places
Going up to the high places
We going to tear the devil's kingdom down
(Church) Let's go up
Going up to the high places
Going up to the high places
Going up to the high places
To tear the devil's kingdom down
We've been deceived by the devil too long
We're gonna tear the devil's kingdom down
What he says is his has been ours all along
We're gonna tear the devil's kingdom down
Let's go up
Going up to the high places (we going up)
Going up to the high places (we going up)
Going up to the high places
We gonna to tear the devil's kingdom down
We're gonna pull down the altars
We're gonna tear down the walls
We're gonna raise up a banner of righteousness
And declare that Jesus is Lord of all
Going up to the high places (we going up)
Going up to the high places (we going up)
Going up to the high places
We going to tear the devil's kingdom down
We're gonna tear the devil's kingdom down
We're gonna tear the devil's kingdom down”
This is that ... which is vitally important in this hour!
"For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ ... (2 Corinthians 10:4-5)
