God’s Mighty Weapons by Lindsay Roberts
|
He defeated Devil and his demons once and for all and even shamed them in public by his victory over them on the cross (Colossians 2:14). The devil knows he has been defeated. But while you and I are living on this earth, he is going to continue to attempt to annoy and frighten us into living a life of discouragement and defeat, because he knows how much God loves us. battle, and as we fight with the religious weapons God has given us, according to 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, we will be able to make the victory Jesus accomplished for us a fact in our lives…for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholdsand each high thing that exalts itself against the understanding of God. Lindsay Roberts believes that the weapons that defeat the demon don't come from our human flesh, our intellect, or our emotions. On occassion, it is like a saw. At other times, the enemy's assault is like a hammer. We feel as though we're taking one hit after another. Rather than walking in peace, joy, and hope, we feel concerned and stressed. What are the spiritual weapons that we will be able to use in this religious battle so we do not miss the miracles God is making an attempt to send our way? I suspect five of the most important weapons we have available to us through Jesus' death and resurrection are: -The seeds we plant -Prayer -Praise and worship -Forgiveness Using Mighty Weapons to Fight 1. Planting your seed. In one Bible interpretation, devourer means "flesh-eating destroyer." Is the devil trying to destroy you with illness and disease, a money problem, or something in your family? When you sow your seed and target it as a weapon against the demon, you have a Bible right for the devourer to be rebuked and for your life to be made full again. 2. Prayer. Have you been praying in fear? Or have you been praying in a way that may be "powerful and effective," as James 5:16 tells us. When you pray, you may use that time to cry and moan before the Lord. Or you can do what God instructed me to do and make your prayers a "battle cry" before Him, aiming your prayer like a gun at the devil's targets. And, in the name of Jesus, prayer like that can help defeat the devil's plans in your life. .
