Scripture:
In Acts 5:26, the Bible says, “Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people lest they should have been stoned.” From the foregoing verse, there is the captain then there are officers. The word “capitain” is the Greek “stratēgos”, and that is the commanding officer.
However, the word “officers” is “hupēretēs” (Greek), which refers to those that work with their hands; that is that carry out the assignment or instructions given by the “stratēgos” – the captain or commanding officer.
Then when you read 2 T?imothy 2:3, it says, “Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.” The word “soldier” is the Greek, “stratiōtēs” and it is different from both “stratēgos” and “hupēretēs”. But when it says to “war” a good warfare as read in our opening verse, it uses “stratomai” for war. That refers to a commanding officer in the military expedition – a strategist. He is not the “hupēretēs”, he is not the “stratēgos”, but the strategist!

You are required to be tough like the “stratēgos”; tough as a good soldier. But you are not to carry out the “war” like the “hupēretēs” – the officers; rather use prophecy. Hallelujah! Use prophecy to wage war; that is the strategy; and it is a strategy of the Spirit. In prophecy, you are declaring words of power, inspired by the Holy Spirit.
Use the spoken Word to frame and plan your course of life. The Word is a spiritual substance. That is why it is important you pray in the Spirit a lot. As you do, you will find yourself uttering words in your understanding that are inspired by the Spirit of God, by which yu prevail over demons and the adversities of life.
CONFESSION: I am functioning in supernatural supply, strength, ability, wisdom and knowledge. By the power of the Holy Spirit, I am fulfilling God’s purpose for my life. I am forever protected and fortified against all evil and wickedness in this world. I dwell in the safety and peaceful habitation of the Almighty; a place of glory, dominion and everlasting joy, where I reign and rule with Christ over circumstances, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
