Understand that we are all in a spiritual war between good and evil. There are unseen forces constantly battling to sabotage our lives. But we can fight like Jesus did when he defeated the devil in the wilderness Matthew 4:1-11. He kept saying "It is written..." reciting God's word. Also. acording to Ephesians 6:11-13 we have the "full armor of God" which includes His Word. When we recite God's word, we are cutting up demonic forces - as if using a physical sword! There is nothing more powerful than the word of God spoken by a true believer. Hebrews 4:12 says God's word is "sharper than any two-edged sword". Below are scripture-based declarations - weapons for our battle. Part 1 establishes who we are in God's kingdom. Part 2 declares how we fight in God's power. Recite these declarations OUT LOUD. Remember, we are never alone. We are in the army of God Almighty!

God chose me and appointed me to bear fruit that remains (Based on Romans 8:28-30, John 15:16)
2) I BELONG TO GOD
I belong to God, therefore the wicked one does not touch me / I know that true Christians are of God, but the world is under the influence of the wicked one /I know that the Son of God has given me understanding so that we may know Him who is true / I am in Him who is true, which is my Lord Jesus Christ, the giver of eternal life / I am persuaded that nothing shall separate me from the love of God (Based on 1 John 5:19-21, Romans 8:35-39)
3) I AM CHOSEN BY GOD
God chose me and appointed me to bear fruit that remains / From the beginning God chose me for salvation through dedication by the Spirit and by belief in the truth / He called me to His gospel to obtain the glory of my Lord Jesus Christ.

(Based on Rom 10:9, 2Tim 1:8-10)
6) I AM NOT OF THIS WORLD

I BELONG TO JESUS
I am among “THE called” who belong to Jesus Christ. I know that God also has highly exalted JESUS and given Him the name which is above every name / So I declare the name of JESUS / I know that at the name of JESUS every knee will bow / those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth will bow / and that every tongue should confess that JESUS Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father (Based on Romans 1:6; Philippians 2:9-11)
7) I DEPLOY SPIRITUAL WEAPONS

9) I CONQUER WITH THE ARMOR OF GOD
I have on the whole armor of God at all times, so I can stand against the tricks of the devil / I know I’m not fighting flesh and blood, but spiritual forces of wickedness / God enables me to stand in times of evil - even after I have done all in my power / I am dressed in the belt of truth and the breastplate of righteousness / I walk in peace and share the gospel / I hold up my shield of faith to stop every fiery dart of the wicked one / I wear my helmet of salvation / I carry the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God / I pray in the Spirit for all believers.
