To Conquer And Occupy Part 2 ~ Dr. Wilfred Lai

Dr. Wilfred Lai ~ Senior Pastor, Jesus Celebration Centre, Mombasa, Kenya

"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 and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is complete," 2 Corinthians 10:4-6.

When revival tarries, a lot of wickedness starts going on and the church cannot even talk about it because it's obedience is not complete. I want to show you seven powerful weapons that pull down strongholds. A stronghold is something that is so strong and its not easily broken. The weapons will also help you cast down arguments and bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. Let me tell you, you cannot be better than the way you think. If you think you are weak, you will become a weakling. You must build your thinking capacity so that you are not thinking sin, defeat and failure. Think about those things that are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, praiseworthy and of good report. 

Ephesians 6:10-18 
You must be strong in the Lord. You must play your part; God will not pray for you, you must pray and be where the word is being preached. You must be strong in prayer, word, fellowship and giving. You must build your capacity. You can't have one meal a week and that is why here we have many services. Put on the whole armor  of God; the way you take care to look good on the outside, take care to look good inside.

1. Breastplate of righteousness 
2. Belt of truth 
3. Feet ready to preach the gospel
4. Shield of faith
5. Sword of the Spirit
6. Helmet of salvation
7. Praying in the Spirit always

 When you dress up like that daily, you can never be defeated. Those weapons will help you stand against what the enemy is scheming against you.
