God’s Greatest Weapon

Did you know that love is the best way to defeat Satan's power?
During the many years I have been involved in prayer and intercession, I have seen all kinds of approaches to bringing down the strongholds of the enemy. Just mention the phrase "spiritual warfare" in a group of seasoned intercessors, and you'll be amazed at all the different "techniques" espoused and "weapons" employed.

Although I too utilize various approaches, I have come to believe that the greatest weapon of spiritual warfare is simply love—God's love. This love is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit and sustains us at every juncture of life and in every opposition and trial. If we abide in God's love, it consumes us, restores us, refreshes us, satisfies us and gives us power over the enemy.
4 Principles for Spiritual Birthing

Giving birth to a vision can be likened to bringing forth a child. Four key elements must be present to ensure a healthy delivery.
In this season of spiritual renewal throughout the earth, we hear a lot about travail and "birthing," particularly related to intercession. Often intercessors will experience something similar to what a woman goes through during labor and delivery when they are praying for God's purposes to be fulfilled in the earth.
They are not always the carriers of the vision themselves. But those who intercede are like spiritual midwives who assist in the birthing process.
