How to war a good warfare

“This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare” 1 Timothy 1:18(KJV)

When we are warring a good warfare, it means that we are able to war effectively and be able to get the victory in our battles. This is important because it is not everyone that is getting victory in their lives, so they need to know how to war a good war.

Therefore, we see Paul instructing Timothy his son in the faith in our opening scripture on how to war a good warfare with the prophecies that have gone ahead of him. In other words, the words and the prophecies that have been spoken concerning your future can be used by you to war a good warfare.

Secondly, he says in 1 Timothy 1:19, “Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck” This means that our faith and having a good conscience has a place in spiritual warfare.

If you call yourself a prayer warrior and you are living in sin, you will make shipwreck of your faith and you will be ineffective. Don't put away your good conscience as a Christian, because it will hinder your effectiveness in  spiritual warfare. So if you need to get right with God in any area of your life where you have erred from the faith and a good conscience, be quick to repent today.

Afterwards, revisit the prophecies that God has spoken concerning you and let them stir up faith in your heart, and by them you can war a good warfare.
