Spiritual Warfare - Satan is Defeated

Everyday, you and I "wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world..."

Everyday, there are wars between the flesh, the carnal minds and the spirits. I pray that God's Word and the Holy Spirit in us will help us "cast down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ."

The Holy Spirit is helping us fight the battles. Satan is defeated. Jesus has come to defeat Satan and to destroy the works of the devil. He has given you power and authority to do His works in His Name. Lo, He is with you till the end.

Yes, in Christ we are more than conquerors. Nothing will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus. His Name is powerful. At the Name of Jesus everything shall bow; every knees shall bow; every tongues shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.

How wonderful it is to know the Lord and Savior in a more personal and intimate way. We live by faith and not by sight. Through the Holy Spirit, our daily walks are strengthened; our witnesses for Christ are more effective; our preachings are not empty words but by the Holy Spirit's power pulling down every stronghold.

I pray that the Lord will continue to strengthen you and me that we will walk in His presence and operate in His power.

Oh yes, there are souls to be won into the Kingdom; there are the sick to be healed; the lepers to be touched and loved; there are the demons and evil spirits to be cast out of every troubled souls.

Are you called? Are you responding to God's calling in your life? Are you equipped with the Word? Are you walking in His way? Are you exercising your authority given by Christ and in His Name to do His works?

Don't be afraid to step outside of your comfort zones. Step out of the boat and walk on water with Jesus like Peter did.

What is impossible for men is possible with God. With Jesus by your side, what do you get to lose?

Trust in Him who loves you, protects you and guides you. You can soar like eagles; you can run and not grow weary; and you can walk and not be tired.
