Divine authority ( Luke 10 : 19 ) Divine weaponry/armoury ( 2 Cor. 10 : 4 ; Eph 6 : 14 -17) Divine strategy (Psalm 144: 1) using ‘vital and available military intelligence’. The basis of this brand of warfare is just trusting and obeyingrepparttar Lord mighty in battle inrepparttar 148213 daily Christian walk both individually and corporately.

One important consequence of this will be that members ofrepparttar 148214 end time church will be able to enter intorepparttar 148215 place of dominion in various spheres of secular endeavour in these last days forrepparttar 148216 sake ofrepparttar 148217 gospel of Christ and torepparttar 148218 praise ofrepparttar 148219 Lord who has called them and sent them to ‘the mount of Esau’!

Nehemiah 9(KJV) verse 27 “Therefore thou deliveredst them intorepparttar 148220 hand of their enemies, who vexed them: and inrepparttar 148221 time of their trouble, when they cried unto thee, thou heardest them from heaven; and according to thy manifold mercies thou gavest them saviours, who saved them out ofrepparttar 148222 hand of their enemies.”

Winners and losers

The measure is absolutely divine(God -ordained) so that every person can make a personal decision to trust in God forrepparttar victory! And this decision starts withrepparttar 148212 battle of all battles-'the battle against sin'! Ignoring or de-emphasizingrepparttar 148213 nature of sin does not give real victory to anyone that has ever lived on this planet! And everyone born into this world is born as a victim-a victim remains a loser until he/she is transformed into a victor through a real personal encounter with Jesus Christ.Christ Jesus carried all our sins on Calvary in our place so that we can be saved from sin when we individually trust him as Lord and Saviour! All other battles are just offspring or consequences of sin whether it isrepparttar 148214 battle against sickness,poverty,terrorism, or ignorance! If anyone thinks he has won any of those 'lesser' battles without winningrepparttar 148215 main battle (against sin) is still a loser/sinner. Withinrepparttar 148216 context ofrepparttar 148217 quote and more importantly,the scriptures,a saint is not someone who has exceptional pure character but is someone who is joined to Jesus Christ who has sent him/her apart to be holy unto God-this involves theologically both positional and progressive sanctification. Philippians 1(KJV) verse 1 "Paul and Timotheus,repparttar 148218 servants of Jesus Christ, to allrepparttar 148219 saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, withrepparttar 148220 bishops and deacons:"

This isrepparttar 148221 brand of righteousness that exceeds that ofrepparttar 148222 Pharisees because it is grounded inrepparttar 148223 faith of Christ and empowered byrepparttar 148224 Spirit of God. Matthew 5(KJV) verse 20 " For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceedrepparttar 148225 righteousness ofrepparttar 148226 scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter intorepparttar 148227 kingdom of heaven."

A saint is not a 'religious superman or superwomen'! In summary, a saint/victor/winner is simply a sinner/victim/loser saved by God's grace through personal faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. 1 John 4(KJV) verse 4 "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is inrepparttar 148228 world." The saints already haverepparttar 148229 victory because of what Christ has done for mankind onrepparttar 148230 cross! They only have to enforce this victory both singly and corporately as led byrepparttar 148231 Spirit of God throughrepparttar 148232 battles of life!
