Spiritual Warfare is very real. But before you deal with the reality of Spiritual Warfare, it is essential you understand what Jesus gave you when He became your Lord and Savior. He changed everything! God has
given to all believers the following and Satan tries to deceive us, lie to us,
convince us to accept what is contrary to God’s truth.
Through Jesus, God gave you...
1. PEACE
“I am
leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift
the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid. John 14:27
2. JOY
I have
told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy. Yes, your joy
will overflow (complete)! John 15:11
3. POWER & STRENGTH
But
you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my
witnesses, telling people about me everywhere...” Acts 1:8
For I can do everything through Christ, who
gives me strength. Philippians 4:13
4. VICTORY
Look,
I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy... Luke 10:19
5. HOLINESS & BLESSING
By his
divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We
have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to
himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence. 2 Peter 1:3
All of this comes with your salvation. This is your being made into the image of Christ. This sums it up. This is you being made into a new creation.
If these verses are God's truth and promise to you, then are they a reality in your life? Are they part of your daily living?
Or are you...
- Struggling with anxiety?
- Worrying?
- Having sleepless nights?
- Easily intimidated?
- Accepting defeat instead of walking in victory?
- Seeking your own comfort and security?
- Easily influenced by the values of the world?
Reality is we are in a battle. Why is Satan able to get a foothold in
our thoughts and feed us discouragement? Why is he able to get us to focus on "our rights"; our sense of entitlement, our comfort and needs?
Satan’s primary
objective is to rob God of His glory in your life.
The truth is, Satan has no power over your life... accept what you give him.
