I Will Say

There is a real enemy at large in the world today; a thief whose sole purpose is to steal, kill and destroy.  The enemy must steal the Word of God from us and in us in order to kill and destroy.  He is under the authority of God's Word, and in the Name and Blood of Jesus, he is under the authority of the body of Christ (The book of Ephesians emphasizes these Truths). 

We are at war, and it is vital that we know how to fight, that we know and understand how to submit to God which empowers us to deal with the enemy - to successfully resist him and see him flee from his assaults against us and against our families!  In every situation in our lives we must ask, "Lord, what do you say", and then make the decisive unwavering decision to say what He says!  Ephesians 6:17, . . . "and take the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God," and apply it to every thought and to every circumstance that does not originate from the Kingdom of God.   

Nuggets and video from yesterday's message below.  

• What is not submitted to God, He does not have authority over. 
• When I don’t answer the enemy back with the Word of God, I am allowing him to strengthen his grip. Stand up and resist the devil. 
• God has given us great and precious promises. Hold fast to them.
• Here on earth, in the presence of my enemies, is where I can offer to God a SACRIFICE of praise.
• Resist:  A military word that denotes “to keep one’s position” and “to keep one’s possession”.
• 1 John 2:16: All that is in the world and of the world is the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life.
• The lust of the flesh says, “I want it now.  I want immediate gratification.”  The lust of the eyes promises us something that will satisfy us.  What a lie.
• When we pet our flesh, it’s the one calling the shots. 
• There is no stopping point with lust.  Lust cannot be satisfied. It always must have more.
• We are all drawn away by our own lusts.  It’s time we resist the devil when he’s breathing on our lusts!
