THE BATTLEFIELD OF LIFE

 

In life we are in a battle of good versus evil, right versus wrong. Life itself presents many challenges and hardships at times, and the enemy would love for Christians to feel defeated and overwhelmed.

We know we are in a spiritual battle with Satan and his demons. He can deceive even well meaning Christians to get mad at God over things. Ephesians 6:12 says that 'we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities against powers against the rulers of darkness of this world; against spiritual wickedness in high places.'

Life comes with joys and with sorrows. It comes with happiness and sadness. It comes with victories and with defeats. We have to pick up that sword of the Spirit which is the word of God (Ephesians 6:17) to defeat the enemy and win the battles that comes our way. People living in the flesh, or what is know as carnal life, do not recognize the enemies attacks as they are not spiritually discerning. The enemy has deceived many into believing his lies. But remember the enemy is not the person, but our battle is against Satan.

2 Chronicles 20:1-29 basically says that "the battle is not ours but God's". Take a moment and read those verses found in the Old Testament.

When you are in the midst of your battle to not succumb to fear and worry but keep looking up towards the cross of Jesus Christ. It is through Jesus that we have the power to stand strong and be undefeated.

Psalm 95:1-10 is a good passage of scripture to end with. 'You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. If you make the Most High your dwelling-- even the LORD, who is my refuge-- then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent.'

PRAYER: Lord I do thank you for going to battle for me. I run to you and cry out and you are mighty to save. I need not fear . Strengthen me for the battles ahead. In Jesus' name. Amen.

POWER IN JESUS

This week for me has been great. I have been super charged with excellent powerful Bible teaching at 'Word Explosion' and have become energized to go forth into the world and resist the lies of the enemy that are thrown at us daily. Not everyone has a chance to get off to a super conference like I did. Once again I want to add the link to it because it continues through next Monday.
https://www.victory.com/events  It is necessary we stay  'plugged in to' our power source, God's word, in order to have power to defeat the lies of Satan. In the pages of God's word is what we need to fight the spiritual battles of this world.

All of us need a chance to recharge our spiritual batteries. In this world we are bombarded by the enemies lies and it is easy for the church to become dry and dead and fall into the worlds pattern of thinking. We are not put here to just simply occupy space but God has a plan for each of us. The enemy tries to come in and confuse that plan and get you  off course at time but God is calling you back. The Bible is the authority for this world but the enemy has come in and people have gotten into power who have taken God's word and made laws against it. Sin will not have power over us. We have the power in Jesus name to resist the enemy and all his tricks and schemes. We are not measly little weakling but if we have accepted  Christ as saviour the same power that resides in Him is in us.

2 Corinthians 4:13 says "Since we have the same spirit of faith according to what has been written, “I believed, and so I spoke,” we also believe, and so we also speak."  Hebrews 1:3 says "The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven."

Joel 2:28 says "And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions." The Holy Spirit is powerful and we have the power of the Holy Spirit living inside of us if we have asked Jesus into our lives. Miracles and wonders still happen today.

There is power in the name of the Lord.

PRAYER: Father God thank you your mighty power which we can call upon to see us through the battles  here on earth. Thank you for being our saviour and Lord. Thank you for your inspired words of power and authority within the scriptures. Forgive me for the times I have not called on that power to deliver me from the attacks of the enemy. In Jesus Name. Amen.
