If you want to fight Christian spiritual battles effectively, do the following:
1. Put on the armor of God
The armor of God is described in Ephesians 6 and it includes the helmet of salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, the belt of truth, the shoes of the Gospel of peace, the shield of faith and the sword of the spirit which is the Word of God.
2. Pray effectively
The Bible tells us that The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous person availeth much. (James 5:16) Therefore, after putting on your breastplate of righteousness, you now have to pray effectively and fervently. 
3. Fast effectively
Jesus taught that some things can only be moved in the spiritual realm by combining prayer and fasting (Matthew 17:21). Therefore abstain from food for several days as you focus your energies on praying.
4. Stand and work
The Bible tells us to Take up the whole armor of God so that you may be able to withstand in the evil day and having done all, to stand. (Ephesians 6:13)Therefore, after you have put on the armor of God, you have to do your all. This means that you have to do your best spiritually and physically since Faith without works is dead. (James 2:14)
Note that to achieve optimum results with your actions, you have to be doing them from a strategic position. This is the place where you are best able to maximize the resources you have at your disposal.
5. Continue standing
After you have done your best, you have to continue standing in your strategic position as you wait for God to fight for you and do for you what you cannot do for yourself since we are told, Having done all, to stand. (Ephesians 6:13)Therefore do not retreat as you wait on God. Just keep standing in your strategic position as you do the following:
a. Praise God.
b. Hold up your shield of faith to keep the darts of the enemy from discouraging you.
c. Wield your spiritual sword by confessing affirmations from the Bible.
