War, Weapons & Warfare: Understanding Spiritual Conflict, the Armour of God, and Believer's Place Victory

Most believers are not defeated by the strength of the opposition. They are defeated by never having been trained to recognise it.War, Weapons & Warfare is a field manual for the conflict every Christian is already in, whether or not they have noticed. In forty-eight short chapters, one for each day of a seven-week course, Dr. Joel Oluwafemi sets out what the war actually is, who the adversary actually is, and what has already been given to the believer to stand in it.The book moves through seven parts: the reality of the war; knowing your enemy; knowing yourself as the warrior; the armour of God, piece by piece; the weapons of Kingdom warfare, including the name, the blood, praise, obedience, fasting and the spoken word; warfare where it actually lands, in the mind, the emotions, the body, the home, the calling and the culture; and finally a working section of diagnostics, a scripture arsenal, prayers, declarations and a rule of life.Every chapter is built the same way, so it can be used daily without a teacher: a charge, a governing scripture, clear teaching, the battlefield indicators to watch for, a response to make, two questions to answer honestly, and a prayer to pray.This is a deliberately sober book. It refuses to frighten the reader or to make the enemy larger than he is. The adversary here is consistently a defeated and limited one, and the reader is warned against becoming more curious about darkness than about Christ. The aim throughout is not fascination but competence: a believer who can recognise pressure for what it is, and who knows what to do at three o'clock in the morning.Written for new believers who have never been taught this, for mature Christians who were taught it badly, and for pastors and small-group leaders who need something they can put in someone's hands. Scripture throughout is the Authorised (King James) Version.Forty-eight chapters. Seven parts. One conflict you are already in.
