Battle Of The spirits

“Casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.”

2 Corinthians 10:5

So many spirits, so many forces of darkness and evil, yet ONE HOLY SPIRIT is the armor against them all. I thank God almighty for His Holy Spirit.

I am in a state of awe as I continue to witness the many wonders of God through His sons and daughters in this place of destiny. The out-pour of revelations from the Most High about who I am and what I am assigned to do here has been nothing short of overwhelming.

Before, during, and after a week-long fasting, the Lord has ordered me once again to leave my place of employment and to walk fearlessly along destiny’s trail.

This time, there was no fear nor hesitance, just Yes. I give Him glory for clarity.

I dare not be pretentious about the many battles of the spirits that I have encountered in these past weeks. This has been the toughest and most challenging path into purpose. As the word of God continued to reach me and warn me against distractions, I began to see even clearer into the Higher realms of glory.

Friend, do you not know that any high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God surely must be cast down into the captivity of obedience?

There is no confusion in God nor the Holy Spirit.

Those spirits of commotion, disharmony, violence, jealousy, envy, hate, despair, sorrow, wickedness, lack of compassion, dishonesty, and so many others, are not of the Lord your GOD!

The Lord wants us to come in alignment with Him about everything so HE can bless our obedience bountifully. Meanwhile, other spirits rebel against the word of God in us because they are aligned with the flesh and its desires.

Ever wonder how your day suddenly turns upside down and you can’t really explain why? You woke up with the joy of the Lord but by midday, that gladness has waned? or you feel less energy to be happy and share a smile and a word of encouragement to another?

There are spirits that are battling one another to get close to the gates of your mind. All they need is the slightest opening – an offensive word, an offensive behavior from another, a misplaced plan that resulted in disappointment, the slightest dissatisfaction.

All they need is one way to make way into the crevices of your mind.

Thus you and I cannot waver on the armor of God every single day.

Friend, the Holy Spirit is your gatekeeper! The Spirit of God is the One who repels the power of ungodly things because it is a divine and impenetrable barrier that the Lord has placed inside of you.

I urge you today to FEED THE HOLY SPIRIT IN YOU.

Don’t go another day without the awareness that your armor against the spirits of this world, must be sharpened each day to stay in alignment with the glorious word of God!

May the Lord of Hosts revive us yet again today with the renewal of mind, body, and spirit to walk this walk of faith faithfully in Jesus name. Amen.

 

Stop Coping. Start Conquering!

conqueror

“No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.”

Romans 8:37

Conqueror. A powerful word indeed.

Recently I discovered the beauty of many meanings contained in one single word.

One definition of Conqueror describes the word as one who overcomes and take control by force, as another meaning defines it as one who successfully rises above an obstacle of a sort. Another meaning furthermore explains a conqueror as one who ascends or mount something with success as if to climb a mountain!

So when the Word tells you and I that we are both conquerors through Christ our Savior, why do we choose not to believe it?!!! Why do we choose to cope instead?!

Growing up, we are told that coping with a dilemma or something more dire is something we must aim to practice because life as we know it is so unpredictable.

So, naturally, we evolve from our youth into adulthood thinking that coping with something is a must. We forget that we were first conquerors before the ills of this world and its flawed teachings molded us into ‘copers.’

I mean think about it, when you have trouble sleeping, the experts of our world convince you to cope with it with pills. When you are angry or overwhelmed in life, you have many coping mechanisms too. The crazy thing is, some people even believe that going to church falls under a way to ‘cope’!

Be honest, how much coping have you been doing or watching others do?

How much substances do we take into our bodies, minds, and spirits to just cope with the matters of our lives?

Ask yourself, “Did God not say that I was a conqueror?”

 Did the resurrection of Christ not cement the victory against all suffering, discomfort, and pain?

Friend, YOU ARE A CONQUEROR in Jesus name! Stop accepting defeat! Stop fighting the fight with a coping mentality! Conquerors do not cope! They conquer!

Musician, Mali Music states it so profoundly in his song, Conqueror,

The enemy comes only to
Steal, kill, and destroy
And because we don’t know who and who’s we are
We come and let them steal our joy

Yes, its true, we all fall short
But, still that gives us no excuse
Soon the enemy is fighting you
Just tell him to prepare to lose
Cuz’ I’m…more than a conqueror

Because of God’s covenant with me
I’ll always have the victory…

I declare it with the resurrection power of Christ Jesus, against all the coping voices all around you and me, against the coping forces inside you and me, against the coping systems around you and me, that today we are reminded who we are in Jesus name. May we put on our full armor of God and be clothed fully in God’s strength to start conquering and stop coping today in Jesus name. May we also never again forget that we are more than conquerors through Christ who died and rose again. Amen.
