Start of the day blessings and confessions
The war and the weapons we have.
We fight a lot of the same fights that our unbelieving neighbors fight and at times we have the tendency to use the the same tools that they fight with. If so then we will have the same outcome that they have. Should not our battle be fought by faith, and should not expect a different outcome?
The fact is that our weapons of warfare are not carnal but they are actually divinely designed to fit in your faith and your design. It's not an ill fitting sword but a perfectly fitting sword that is designed according to your your purpose and with what God has said over you. So it is possible to completely annihilate every strategy and combat successfully every assignment that is aimed at you. God’s word is absolute.
Paul writes to the Ephesian church, saying that our strength and armor that God provides allows us to stand successfully against every strategy of the devil. This means “every” plan, every blockade, every siege and every embargo. We can successfully stand!!
The boldness we must have, is in the confidence of God faithfulness. This confidence is our strength and peace to hold our ground, to move forward and keep walking and keep occupying ground and keep being fruitful in building the kingdom.
Jesus writes in Luke 18 that He wishes all men to pray, not faint or be a coward and not give up. Paul also writes that the Lord delivered him out of every battle. Every single one, Paul reports. Sometimes our victory maybe a little different from what we thought, but the victory our Lord provides is the ultimate victory. Wherever we are in living life, we will can fight to win by God’s plan or fight the wrong way in our strength and lose, we always have a choice how to fight. Two forces at war, force of light or the force of darkness. Our choice is how we will live in the battle, in His strength or in our struggle of the flesh and be forever bound.
In the seven systems we have to know God’s plan and His strategy to occupy our destiny and be fruitful. It takes planning and passion to keep living it, even when the war is so intense that we wonder if we are doing something wrong or what are we missing. This is why we should never wait for an attack but be living to win and not just defend.
Your choice, flesh, or Spirit, my way or His way, my plan or His plan. Step up and take the responsibility and be your destiny. Never assume, but faith it through!
“In conclusion, be strong in the Lord be empowered through your union with Him draw your strength from Him that strength which His boundless might provides
Put on God's whole armor [the armor of a heavy-armed soldier which God supplies, that you may be able successfully to stand up against [all] the strategies and the deceits of the devil.
For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against the master spirits who are
the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly supernatural sphere.”
Ephesians 6:10-12
