FOUR STEPS TO CONQUER

The knowledge gap in our walk with God can cost us huge losses in life.
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being a priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.
Sometimes it’s not that God hasn’t provided the victory, but rather that we lack the understanding to apply His Word, His principles, and His strategies to our situation. Challenges may persist because:
We don’t yet see things from God’s perspective.
We may be applying zeal without knowledge (Romans 10:2).
We stop short of pressing into revelation through prayer, study, and obedience.
The frustration comes when we “try everything” but not necessarily the right thing in alignment with God’s Word. What closes the gap is revelation knowledge — the Holy Spirit illuminating Scripture to show us how to walk in the victory already secured in Christ.
So rather than giving up, it becomes a call to deeper pursuit: more time in the Word, more sensitivity to the Spirit, and seeking wisdom rather than just solutions.
Ephesians 1:15-17 Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,
2 Corinthians 10:4–6 is a powerful passage on spiritual warfare. Paul lays out principles that keep us aligned so that we’re fighting the right way. Here are the four things to check to ensure you’re warring correctly:
1. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, (1 Kings 18:20-40; 2 Kings 10)
Why would God empower us if God himself were to fight our battles for us?
Acts 1:8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.
If God were to fight our battles for us, then why are we encouraged to put on the whole armour of God in Ephesians 6 to stand against the wiles of the devil?
Ephesians 6:10-13 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the whole armour of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Why didn't God destroy Jezebel Himself instead of expecting Elijah, who couldn't, to anoint Jehu to do the finishing?
2. Casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, (Revelation 1:5-6; 1 Kings 19:15-17)
Revelation 12:7-11 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.
3. Bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ (this is a step before punishing the enemy)
II Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
4. And being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.
I Samuel 15:2-3 Thus says the Lord of hosts: I will punish Amalek for what he did to Israel, how he ambushed him on the way when he came up from Egypt. Now go and attack Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and do not spare them. But kill both man and woman, infant and nursing child, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.
Exodus 22:18 Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
