How to Fight Spiritual Battles and Claim Freedom.
Learn to identify spiritual battles, use Scripture and prayer as your weapons, and claim the freedom Jesus already won for you. Here are some clear, practical steps, honest encouragement, and Bible-based strategies for everyday victory!
The Battle is His.
So how do we fight spiritual battles and claim freedom? As believers we shouldn’t be walking around in bondage. It wasn’t until recently that Holy Spirit gave me a revelation of this very issue I had been struggling with.
We can’t walk both in freedom and bondage at the same time.
Those two can not coexist. If you are holding on to bondage you will not be successful in the spiritual war that is waged daily. Freedom will allow you to walk in purpose for the will of God on your life.
This bondage I am speaking of can be a constant war within your mind.
You can choose to fight your battles in your own way, with the counterfeit tools of the world OR you can choose to fight with the Sword of the Spirit and put on the Armor of God and sever the neck of the enemy.
There is SO much noise out there, on how mothers should spend their time so that they can pour from a “full cup”. I’ll be honest and say while those things may be helpful in a season, they are not everlasting. The fun times, new shiny things and the feel good emotion tied to those are fleeting.
They can almost be a cover up for the root issue. Rest. True rest.
Only our heavenly Father can give us that and only His armor can truly deflect things like depression, sadness, grief, exhaustion etc.
I am not saying, that our physical bodies will not cause us problems as well. Sometimes we just need a nap, but other times the root is far deeper.

How will you fight your battles? I can tell you that you will never win in your own strength. Ask me how I know…
Armor up mamas!
Armor up for your family and those around you. You may not know but your children are watching how you respond to every situation.
Are you reacting to problems or are you already walking in the Spirit, prepared for the attack of the enemy? We have to be connected to the life source to flourish, to thrive.
Spending time with the Lord daily will renew you and your mind. Although not every outside attack we face is from the enemy, when you discern that it is, you need to be equipped.
Jesus himself used God’s word to fight in the wilderness. Sometimes during wilderness seasons of life, we will have to do the same.
The Question. How to fight?
We fight the attacks of the enemy with the Word of God and with prayer. You must fight a spiritual battle in the Spirit, never the flesh. Study the verses below and prepare yourself by putting the armor of God on daily.
Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.
Ephesians 6:11-17 NLT
Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness.
For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God
These passages are a great reminder for us when we are up against something we can not fight alone. To stop the fiery arrows and to stand firm!
A great tip is to write down scripture that will help you in time of need and put up around your house. Read those daily, even out loud! The word of God is alive an active! Use these same scriptures in your prayer time.
Keep your mind renewed.
Sometimes it’s a battle of our mind where we are our own worst enemy, but what does God’s word say? His promises? Stand on those mama!
Jesus overcame the world. He didn’t promise us a life of zero setbacks and challenges. Actually, the complete opposite. We are now a target once we are born again and must stay connected to the life source which is Jesus to have a foundation that is unshakeable when the storms of life come.
