1 Samuel 17
There is a Spiritual battle set before us - it is not of the flesh. There are times we must take the initiative and move forward. I serve a God that’s already won my battle! We must be willing to put on our armor, bust through enemy lines and win! Concentrate and focus on God. We look at what we can see on the outside of the Spirit realm.
1 Samuel 17:11
Have you ever felt challenged by the devil? Take it back! Just maybe things happen because we don’t battle with the real enemy. We are dealing with a generation who are having babies, going through life with their hand in every kind of abomination there is. We live in a time when parents go to church without bringing their kids. Hence, the enemy comes in. Rebellion - refusing to submit to authority. We need to take more seriously the things that the enemy is trying to steal. Fornication, drugs and alcohol have invaded our families because of our inconsistencies.
Luke 4:4
Are you afraid of being rejected? Jesus was rejected.
Luke 4:34-35
When we are confronted with the enemy we must not be afraid. It’s the enemy who’s handing out drugs, alcohol, pornography, sexual immorality. The devil wants to hurt you. He wants to hurt your family and snatch them away from you. We have the ability! We must move and speak with power! You need to stop looking at your situation through the eyes of flesh. Who is that giant in front of you? Who is that devil in front of you? He CAN’T win! We’ve got to be willing to take one step forward. When we see the signs - instead of violently taking it, we turn our backs and allow the enemy to take it. DECLARE WAR!! We’ve allowed the enemy to draw the lines for too long! We have to be willing to stand our ground! We are equipped with the power of God. We must have courage! I COME BEFORE YOU IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!!
