Defeating The Enemy

James 4:7, Matthew 4:1-11

The devil is real.
The devil is not a fictional character or the creation of someone's imagination.
The devil is no man's invention.
The devil is your enemy, and along with his team they are involved in a battle with God's camp.
Ephesians 6:12
If you are in Christ, you are a major target of the enemy. 
Revelation 12:13 to 17

Winning in life and defeating the enemy is something we do by using our God given resources and weapons.
There are spiritual weapons God has given us, God has not left us without help. 
John 14:18
God is able to protect us from the evil one.
 2 Thessalonians 3:3
It's important we know the 'tricks' the enemy uses to defeat people including some of the saints of God.

The enemy uses:
1) DECEPTION - the purpose of his deception is to murder, and he does this by lying.
2 Corinthians 11:13,  John 8:44

2) STEALING/THEFT - The devil steals the Words of God sown in our hearts, and he steals everything that can potentially be ours that way because God blesses us by His Word. 
Matthew 13:19,  John 10:10

3) DIABOLIC EVIL - sorcery,  magic, witchcraft. 
Exodus 7:11,12,  Matthew 24:24

4) TRAPS - the devil sets life and destiny destroying traps. 
1 Timothy 3:7

5) MIND BLOCKAGE- 2 Timothy 2:26, 2 Corinthians 4:4

6) FAKE MIRACLES - Revelation 13:13,14

7) HUMAN AGENTS - 2 Timothy 3:13, Matthew 7:15

To overcome the evil one:
1) USE THE WORD OF GOD - the Word of God gives spiritual strength which helps us overcome Satan. 1 John 2:13,14

2) BE SAVED/BORN AGAIN - salvation provides and  supplies God's protection and sustenance.
1 John 5:18

3) STAY ON GOD'S SIDE - It's one thing to start with God, it's another thing to remain with God. 
You enjoy God's love when you're in God's camp which gives you dominion over your enemies. 
Revelation 3:9

4) HOLY SPIRIT - The Holy Spirit guides. He can guide you out of the devils traps. 
Isaiah 63:11-14
The Holy Spirit can fight for you and protect you. 
Isaiah 59:19

5) YOUR SPIRITUAL ARMOUR - Ephesians 6:12-18

6) THE BLOOD OF JESUS - Revelation 12:11

7) THE NAME OF JESUS - Philippians 2:9-11

Prayer Points:
1) Satan, the blood of Jesus is against you. Begin to plead the blood. (Revelation 12:11)
2) Tell God to help you defeat the enemy in Jesus name. (John 14:13)
3) Let me be conscious of my spiritual armor and use it. (Ephesians 6:12-18)
4) By the grace of God, I overcome every agent of Satan against me. (Matthew 7:5)
5) Reject the lying wonders of Satan. (Revelations 13:13,14)
6) Set my mind free from every mental blockage. (2 Corinthians 4:4)
7) Let witchcraft and every evil work against me be destroyed. (Deuteronomy 18:10)
8) Restore, all the enemy has stolen from me. (Joel 2:25)

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
