BRIEF SUMMARY
We have learnt that when one becomes a child of God, they enter into a spiritual battle with satan and his demons.
If we don't fight, the enemy will not stop his attacks and therefore we must never think of making a peace treaty with satan. We must face him headon standing on the victory of the cross. Remember he is a defeated foe, and all his armour was taken on the cross and the position that God has appointed for him is under our feet. God in His wisdom did not destroy him But allows him to attack his children so that we can become and strong. He has made provision of all we need in facing the enemy. We are not helpless nor hopeless but strong with God on our side.
Remember if you have completely yielded and surrendered your life to God, he will give you all the wisdom, all the strength, all the knowledge and understanding, all the health, all the encouragement, all the warnings, all the grace, , the fellowship we need, and all the resources we will ever need in our lives on earth, to live a godly life and fulfil his purpose on earth, God will provide.
Jesus has given us authority over all the power of the enemy, Lk 10:19, but unless we use that authority, the devils schemes to steal, kill and destroy our lives, destinies and anything associated with us will succeed. We must rise up and resist the enemy by the authority we have received from Jesus.
Our minds are the first battlefield find and satan casts thoughts of fear, unbelief, bitterness, anger, accusations... and we must reject this thoughts. We must take them captives and think only on what God has promised. We ought to only think about things that are pure, true, honourable, right, lovely, admirable, excellent and things that are worthy of praise. Phil 4:8
There is no human being who is our enemy, no matter how much they harm us, we have only one enemy and that is the devil.
We must never fight with humans, nor argue or strive or try to prove a point if we are to successfully fight the enemy.
We have been given the weapons to fight the enemy;
1. THE NAME OF JESUS. At the mention of this name, every knee of everything in heaven, on earth and under the earth must bow.
2. THE BLOOD OF JESUS which silences every accusation of the enemy.
3. PRAYER AND FASTING which breaks yokes and sets the captives free from all captivity of the enemy.
4. THE WORD OF GOD which is our sword against the enemy.
5. THE PROMISES OF GOD which should be the confessions in our mouth. Jesus Christ is the high priest of our confession. Heb 3:1, we must never confess defeat, no matter what situation we are in. Our lips should only confess what God has promised.
6. THE FEAR OF GOD which helps us avoid all the traps the devil set along the way.
7. DEATH TO SELF-WILL which defeats the enemy by not giving him a chance through our own selfish desires.
8. PRAISE AND WORSHIP which makes a throne for God in our lives
9. THE ANOINTING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT which breaks every yoke of the enemy.
Make sure you use every weapon give. One is not enough. In Gods wisdom, He saw it necessary to give us all these, it would therefore be foolish if we decide to neglect even one. Use them all.
The Christian has a protective armour from God which is truth, righteousness, salvation, Peace in our conscience, and faith.
The enemy uses pride to devour us. We must seek therefore to always live a life of humility. Humble yourself before God and then resist the devil, he will flee from you.
The devil fears a righteous humble man.
Anger, unforgiveness, grudges and bitterness give access to the enemy in our lives.
Ignorance of the truth also gives the devil an opportunity to make God's children his captives and also destroy them. It's only as we know the truth that we are set free.
Deception also is a weapon of the enemy and we must love the truth and never seek to justify ourselves if God is to protect us from Deception. 2Thes 2:9-11
Murmuring and complaining are the ways we enthrone the devil and tell him that he is in control of our situations. In murmuring and complaining, we either proclaim that God is helpless in our circumstances or that He is dead. We must replace that with praise and Thanksgiving.
Occultic objects our home nullifies our war against the enemy. They make us get defeated and we must destroy them from our lives.
You are blessed to be a blessing
