SEVEN TYPES OF STRANGE BATTLES EVERY FAMILY MUST WIN.
1. Spiritual Battles: Every family inevitably faces spiritual battles—wars invisible yet potent, manifesting in cycles of failure, oppression, or stagnation. These battles require spiritual vigilance and consistent prayer.
Jesus' temptation in the wilderness
(Matthew 4:1-11) exemplifies the spiritual warfare every family encounters,
emphasizing victory through the Word of God.
Notes on Spiritual Battles:
- "A praying family is a prevailing family."
- "Spiritual warfare isn't optional; ignorance
doesn't exempt you from the battle."
- "Victory spiritually precedes victory
naturally."
- "Your family's altar determines your family's
outcome."
- "Demons flee from the family that stands united in
prayer."
- "Never underestimate the enemy; never overestimate
him either."
- "The Word of God is your family's greatest
weapon."
- "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but
against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness
of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." –
Ephesians 6:12
- "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal,
but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds." – 2
Corinthians 10:4
- "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the
devil, and he will flee from you." – James 4:7
2.
Financial Battles: Financial struggles can fracture
families, causing stress and disharmony. Winning financial battles requires
wisdom, discipline, and divine provision.
The Widow's oil miracle (2 Kings
4:1-7) illustrates divine intervention in financial crisis, teaching trust in
God's provision.
Notes On Financial Battles:
- "Financial battles are won by wisdom, not just
wishes."
- "Debt can enslave generations; wise stewardship
liberates them."
- "Never let your possessions possess your
family."
- "Financial freedom begins with financial
responsibility."
- "Prosperity isn't measured in wealth alone, but in
peace and stability."
- "Your financial choices today shape your family's
future tomorrow."
- "God provides supernaturally when we steward
naturally."
- "The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower
is servant to the lender." – Proverbs 22:7
- "But my God shall supply all your need according
to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." – Philippians 4:19
- "Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that
there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord
of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a
blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it." –
Malachi 3:10
3.
Emotional and Mental Health Battles: Emotional and mental battles, including anxiety and
depression, are subtle yet devastating. Winning these battles requires
openness, support, and God's peace.
Elijah's battle with depression (1
Kings 19) shows God's compassion and restoration for emotional health.
Notes:
- "Silence about emotional struggles only deepens
their wounds."
- "Mental health battles are not a sign of weakness
but a call for healing."
- "God heals minds just as surely as He heals
bodies."
- "Healthy families talk, listen, and heal together."
- "You don't lose by seeking help; you win by
finding strength."
- "Peace within the family begins with peace within
each member."
- "Joy isn't the absence of problems but the
presence of God."
- "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by
prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made
known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding,
will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." – Philippians
4:6-7
- "The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, and
delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to those who
have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite spirit." –
Psalm 34:17-18
- "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of
power and of love and of a sound mind." – 2 Timothy 1:7
4.
Marital Battles:
Marital battles threaten family unity. Overcoming requires humility,
forgiveness, and effective communication.
Hosea's unwavering love for Gomer
(Hosea 1-3) symbolizes God’s redemptive love for marriages in crisis.
Notes on Marital Battles:
- "Marriage battles are conquered through
forgiveness, not force."
- "Strong marriages communicate deeply, forgive
quickly, and love persistently."
- "Humility is the key to marital harmony."
- "Conflict doesn't define marriage; how you handle
it does."
- "Your marriage is worth fighting for, not
against."
- "Never underestimate the power of prayer in
marital healing."
- "Love fiercely, forgive freely, and unity will
follow."
- "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also
loved the church, and gave himself for it." – Ephesians 5:25
- "Forbearing one another, and forgiving one
another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave
you, so also do ye." – Colossians 3:13
- "Two are better than one; because they have a good
reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his
fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not
another to help him up." – Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
5.
Parenting Battles:
Parenting battles challenge the very fabric of family cohesion. Winning these
requires wisdom, patience, and consistent love.
The Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32)
depicts the complexities and ultimate triumph of parental love and forgiveness.
Notes On Parenting Battles:
- "Parenting is spiritual warfare; fight
wisely."
- "Children may stray, but consistent love can bring
them home."
- "Parenting victories are shaped by prayerful
patience, not pressure."
- "Invest in your children spiritually; the
dividends are eternal."
- "Love disciplines gently but firmly; fear punishes
harshly."
- "Parenting isn't about perfection; it's about
perseverance and grace."
- "Your faithfulness as a parent impacts generations
to come."
- "Train up a child in the way he should go: and
when he is old, he will not depart from it." – Proverbs 22:6
- "And these words, which I command thee this day,
shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy
children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and
when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou
risest up." – Deuteronomy 6:6-7
- "And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to
wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord."
– Ephesians 6:4
6.
Generational Battles: Generational battles involve repeated patterns, curses, and
inherited issues. Winning requires discernment, prayer, and intentional action.
Breaking generational curses through
obedience (Judges 6-8, Gideon) illustrates the victory available when families
rise against inherited cycles.
Notes On Generational Battles:
- "Generational patterns continue until one
courageous family breaks them."
- "Your family doesn't have to repeat past mistakes;
choose a new legacy."
- "Generational curses lose power when confronted
with generational blessings."
- "Your obedience today breaks yesterday’s
chains."
- "No family is doomed to repeat history; redemption
writes a new story."
- "Victory against generational battles demands
spiritual authority."
- "Be the family that changes the narrative."
- "Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor
serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity
of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of
them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me,
and keep my commandments." – Exodus 20:5-6
- "The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son
shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear
the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon
him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him." – Ezekiel
18:20
- "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree." – Galatians 3:13
7.
Identity and Purpose Battles: Every family faces battles over identity and
purpose—knowing who they are and their divine assignment. Winning demands
clarity, affirmation, and purpose-driven living.
Joseph’s story (Genesis 37-50)
highlights battles over identity and destiny, showing God's sovereign direction
through adversity.
Notes on Identity and Purpose Battles:
- "Families without purpose drift; families with
purpose thrive."
- "Knowing your family’s identity determines your
family's legacy."
- "Purpose-driven families turn adversity into
advancement."
- "Identity crises dissolve in the presence of
God-given purpose."
- "Clarify your family’s mission; confusion can't
defeat clarity."
- "Affirmation builds identity; criticism undermines
destiny."
- "Your family's God-given purpose is your greatest
weapon against confusion."
- "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,
saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an
expected end." – Jeremiah 29:11
- "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ
Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk
in them." – Ephesians 2:10
- "And we know that all things work together for
good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his
purpose." – Romans 8:28
THE NEED FOR DEEP
DELIVERANCE:
Deep deliverance
addresses root causes of spiritual afflictions and resets lives for divine
fulfillment. Examples of issues requiring deep deliverance include:
- Missed opportunities or delays
in breakthroughs.
- Persistent ill luck or
rejection.
- Last-minute disappointments and
unfulfilled promises.
- Hardship in relationships,
finances, or career progress.
Are any of The Following 17 Things Happening Regularly To You or
In Any Area of Your Life?
· 1.
Whether through omission or commission, you consistently miss the timing of
good things.
· 2.
People promise you help or favors, but before they can help you, bad things
happen to them, making them unable to fulfill their promises to you.
· 3.
On the day you are invited to receive a favor or help, things beyond your
control or things you don’t understand mysteriously or forcibly keep you from
going to the place of help or blessing.
· 4.
In the midst of many people, you are always singled out for rebuke, reprimand,
query, suspension, retrenchment, or victimization for no just cause.
· 5.
You always face consequences for the crimes and offenses of others.
· 6.
People sometimes find it challenging to provide assistance. They prefer to
offer their assistance to others who are less deserving.
· 7.
You or others put in great effort to make something or an occasion very
successful, only to make a small, silly mistake that ruins the entire thing.
· 8.
You always have last-minute disappointments.
· 9.
Despite your gifts, talents, and potential, men often find it easy to forget,

completing them.

With all your good character, sweet, loving, and caring nature, your
relationships or marriage are in shambles. You constantly face heartbreak and
breakups. Every action you take is viewed with serious criticism.

of deep hatred from people.

Any other repeatedly unpleasant experience that you feel no one will
understand.
