I want to talk to you today about having a persecution mentality, where you feel that everyone and everybody is against you and that your life is much worse than anyone else’s. The devil will use your thoughts and situations to cause you to think that you are the only one going through some tribulation. This plan of his will isolate you, and cause you to blame people, yourself, or God for what is happening. If you dwell on your…..
How many times have people thrown knives at our heart? This happens many times a day in this world we live in, and we have to forgive over and over. Sometimes, the knife is too big, and makes a huge wound that just doesn’t seem to heal up. First of all, REALIZE who is behind the knife. It’s not the person who is our enemy, but Satan. Ephesians 6:15 calls these knives “fiery darts,” which gives us a pretty good…..
Has God given you a promise, something in your heart that you found in His Word, or spoken to you by His Spirit within? It is up to you to believe and speak the thing into existence. “And Joshua said to the children of Israel, ‘How long are ye slack to go to possess the land, which the LORD God of your fathers hath given you?’” (Joshua 18:3, KJV). Get up, off your duff, and get going! You will have…..
Joshua was a warrior. He took over after Moses had given him strict instructions: “Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest” (Joshua 1:9). He had a big job to do, and it was to take the promised land by war. If we think for one minute that satan is going to let us be victorious without a…..
Do you ever feel like an alien, like you don’t fit in, as if you have been rejected by the whole world? Join the crowd. The prophet Job felt the very same way. He states, “They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight” (Job 19:15, KJV). Our enemy, satan, will try to pound you into the ground, and deceive you into thinking that God doesn’t love you…..
God will sometimes use the strangest weapons to defeat enemies. In 2 Chronicles 20, we find the great king Jehoshaphat is faced with two armies that were greater than his. His people fasted, prayed, and asked God what to do. Then they waited. Suddenly a word came forth from a prophet that they should not be afraid, that God would fight for them on the next day, and that He would be with them. They worshiped. The next day as…..
There are no time-outs with the devil. You can’t ask him to just quit harassing you, beating on you, or to go away and let you take a big fat break. He is persistent, buggy, and hateful, but totally defeatable. You can win this game, because the greater one lives in you, and He has already defeated satan. When John beheld Jesus on the Isle of Patmos, Jesus told him, “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and behold,…..
How can you fight a spirit without being in the Spirit? You can’t. If you fight spirits in your flesh, you are boxing thin air. You won’t hit anything, because flesh cannot hit spirit. BUT, Spirit can definitely hit spirit. If you find yourself spinning your wheels in prayer, and nothing seems to be happening, do something spiritual: fast, pray more, and WORSHIP. You will get into the realm that is really powerful, where you can blast the enemy with…..
The dictionary describes raptors as small dinosaurs who eat other animals or birds of prey, such as eagles or hawks, that also eat other animals. In the Latin it means plunderer. The devil is a plunderer. He steals, kills, and destroys, (John 10:10), but Jesus brings abundant life! They are complete and total opposites. So how do we fight such a fierce foe as a raptor? We use the weapons that God has given us! You can read about them…..
In 1 Kings 16:30, we begin to see the story of Ahab and Jezebel. This woman Jezebel caused Ahab to sin above all other kings. In 1 Kings 19, we read of Jezebel’s attack on Elijah, God’s prophet. In 2 Kings, 9:22, we see the root of Jezebel’s power: whoredom and witchcraft. Since any true believer of God who is willing to live for Him and His Son will encounter this spiritual force named Jezebel, we need to know what…..
