Quesion #6

Based on the results, do those spiritual weapons seem to be offensive or defensive?

Question #5

Trusting God more than trusting your feelings and abilities is a preeminent strategy for protecting your thought closet against the fiery lies of the Enemy. Girl, the battle is always spiritual, and we must fight that battle with spiritual weapons. 


What does 2Corinthians 10:4-5 tell us our weapons can accomplish?

2 Corinthians 10:4-5 (New International Version, ©2010)

⁴ The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. ⁵ We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

Question #4

Strategy #4: Faith

Remember what Jesus told the women with the issue of blood? He said it was her_____________that made her whole (Mark 5:34)




 

Question #3

Don't isolate yourself--it isn't safe. My friend, sometimes it is pride that keeps us at arm's length from others. Can I be honest? You're not perfect and neither is the accountability buddy you desperately need. Don't deceive yourself. Allow the light of truth to flood your thought closet right now and reveal what you need most. Is it really self-protection at the expense of rich relationship? I think not. Be a big girl and call a buddy!

Question #2

The three stranded cord is not "me, myself and I!" It's you, a buddy, and Jesus. So place yourself in relationship with someone with whom you can be honest and accountable. I encourage you to call a "Bible study buddy."

Do you have an accountability partner? 

• yes
• no

If so, post her name here and write a prayer of protection against the Enemy for her.


If not, ask God to reveal whom you could call and then ask Him to grant you courage. Copy and paste the following for your answer:
I will call________________and ask her to enter into accountability with me on ____/____/____. Thank You, Lord, for giving me courage to become accountable and enter into prayerful agreement with her.

Question #1

Last time we met we left off with Strategy #1 which was prayer. Today we pick up with strategy #2 which is
ACCOUNTABILITY

The enemy goes for the solitary and the silent. You already speak silent words to yourself, and they can remain tools of the enemy if you don't confess them to God and make yourself accountable to a friend. If you keep speaking silent lies to yourself, you are providing the enemy with the weapons he most wants to use against you. Unconfessed sin and unacknowledged weakness are what he can use to destroy you. Don't give him weapons; give him a united front and a fight!

What does Ecclesiastes 4:12 suggest about the power of relationships?

Ecclesiastes 4:12 (New International Version, ©2010)

¹² Though one may be overpowered,
   two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
