THE SECRET Of The Armor Of God Every Christian Must Know (Open Right Now)

In the vast landscape of spiritual consciousness what emerges when you contemplate figures of Darkness such as Satan the devil or Lucifer what are the emotions that swell within you fear Fury reticence or indifference an intriguing phenomenon has surfaced over time largely due to the influence of cinematic Arts where the typical believer perceives the devil as a formidable deity Endowed with the abilities to fly influence alter disrupt annihilate and bring death this perspective has unfortunately fostered an undercurrent of dread towards this entity embedding itself into our hearts despite our unwavering faith in the supreme power of

God we cannot shake off a certain mindset to remain unnoticed in the devil's world to steer clear of his Affairs to to live a life so ordinary that it doesn't catch his malevolent eye Or risk being recorded in his ill-famed Ledger however what often remains hidden from our view is the startling truth that the devil too experiences fear Yes you heard it right the devil in all his cunning and craftiness is not immune to fear he is more a master of manipulation than a behemoth of power he has the astuteness to understand when to retreat

and regroup and when to to advance upon his Target now let's delve deeper who are these people who incite fear in the Devil the answer is simple certain types of Christians not just any Christian but those who embody a specific set of qualities that shake the devil to his core these are the Christians that Satan absolutely fears what's intriguing is that these Christians are not necessarily extraordinary in the worldly sense they are not defined by their wealth health status or their physical strength instead they are characterized by their Unwavering Faith their absolute trust in God

their unyielding commitment to good and their refusal to be swayed by evil these are the Christians who understand that true power lies not in imposing their will upon others but in submitting their will to God they know that their strength is not defined by their ability to dominate or destroy but by their capacity to love forgive and serve they are aware that their significance is not determined by the accolades they Accumulate but by the lives they touch and transform such Christians live their lives as living testimonies to God's love and grace they walk the path

of righteousness not out of fear of the devil but out of love for God and their fellow beings they shine their light so bright that it pierces through the darkness caus causing the shadows of evil to retreat you see it's not the devil's power we should fear rather it's The power within us given by God that the devil fears so let us strive to become the kind of Christians who make the devil tremble not by our might but by our faith our love and our commitment to God's Will and remember in the grand scheme of

the cosmos it is not the devil who has the final say it is God and those who follow his path who ultimately Prevail Christ's Visage holds immense power the embodiment of an unseen God the mirror of divinity that once Reflected in us but has been tarnished by sin Christ who is the mere image of the Unseen God was there before the cosmos sprang into existence and reigned Supreme over all creation Colossians 1:15 this image this mirror holds profound implications it is the Divine manifestation of the Unseen father an undeniable Revelation to all of creation the

Christ we encounter in scriptures this Jesus is the Divine portrait his Words Echo God his deeds are the father's own for he is the Divine embodied his existence precedes time itself a terrifying fact for the adversary the devil his Reign extends over all that is invoking fear in our spiritual foes the gravity of these truths is tremendous the Apostle Paul emphasizes that Christ as the image of God exists to illuminate the father's will to make manifest his deeds the concept of God's image is a Testament to Jesus's Divinity Philippians 2:6 further affirms this he did

not consider equality with God as something to exploit the enemy the god of the this world attempts to shroud the minds of the unbelievers obscuring them from the radiant gospel of Christ who Bears the image of God yet those who have truly seen Jesus have seen the father himself this is the potent truth that even the devil cannot contend with so remember as Christians We are called to mirror Christ to reflect the image of God in our lives and that is what Satan fears the most when we strive to reflect Christ's love forgiveness and righteousness

in our lives we become the type of Christians that Satan truly fears yes we were marred by sin but through Christ we can restore our resemblance to the father our journey is to continually strive to become more like Jesus to mirror His Image his love His mercy and his righteousness this journey of transformation is our greatest weapon against the enemy in this journey we must remember to Love Like Jesus forgive like Jesus and serve like Jesus for when we do we become the embodiment of the very thing that Satan fears most a Christian who mirrors

Christ a Christian who lives out the gospel a Christian who showcases the love mercy and righteousness of God so let us strive to Become the type of Christians that Satan fears those who reflect the image of God those who embody the love mercy and righteousness of Jesus let us strive to become more like Jesus each and every day for that is the path to Victory the path that leads us closer to God and the path that makes us the kind of Christians that Satan absolutely fears the idea the devil is to be feared and we

must hide to remain out of his Clutches but I want to take a moment to unpack this narrative you see it is not us who should be running in fear rather Satan trembles at the sight of a certain type of Christian fear is a powerful weapon in the devil's Arsenal but it becomes powerless in the presence of Faith imagine if you will a Christian who is steadfast in their faith resilient in their walk with God and unyielding in their commitment to love compassion and Truth that is the Christian who Satan fears this Christian does not

hide in fear but stands tall clothed in the armor of God ready to face any challenge that comes their way as we walk our spiritual journey let's not forget that the devil does not have power over us instead his influence waines when confronted by a Christian firmly grounded in faith the key lies in recognizing the traps that allow the devil a foothold in our lives As long as we unknowingly fall into these traps we remain prey to his influence we must remember that we are not children playing hide and seek anymore as Christians we do

not need to hide or run in fear from the devil We Are Soldiers of Christ strengthened by his love and grace we have the power to resist the devil's influence and make him flee from us therein lies the irony the devil the one we feared as children fears us he fears the Christian who Stands firm in their faith Faith who loves unconditionally and who shines their light in the face of Darkness this is the Christian that Satan absolutely fears we have been given the power to tread on serpents and scorpions and to overcome all the

power of the enemy so let's wear our armor hold our heads high and walk in faith knowing that we are the ones that the enemy fears you see there's a common misconception Among Us That the struggle between God and Satan is a long drawn battle a marathon of might however that could not be further from the truth we often forget the immensity of God's power placing limitations on the Limitless yes we acknowledge that God is mighty but do we truly grasp the magnitude of his divine power let's think about this in a different light imagine

a scale with God's power on one side and Satan's on the other some might imagine a close Balance with Satan at 95% and God just tipping the scale at 100 this conception though common belies the true nature of God's omnipotence truth be told there's no contest here no struggle or battle the word of God reminds us that it would take just one Angel to bind Satan for a millennium if Satan's power is not even equal to that of an Angel like Michael how could he ever compare to the King of Kings in essence the Devil

is a mere Shadow in the radiant light of God's glory it's essential for us as followers of Christ to recognize this we are children of the most high and within us lies a Divine inheritance of strength and Grace the devil fears this knowledge within us he trembles at the thought of a Christian who truly knows their Divine lineage and the boundless power of their Heavenly Father for in the end a Believer fully aware of their place in the celestial scheme and the might of The Lord they serve is Satan's greatest fear we must Embrace this

truth let's awaken to the reality of our divine Heritage let's let the devil know that we are not only aware of God's infinite power but also of our place as his beloved children in doing so we become the Christians that Satan truly fears so today as we go about our lives let's hold this knowledge close to our hearts let's remember that we are children of a mighty God a God so powerful that There's no contest between him and Satan let's be the Christians that Satan absolutely fears stay blessed and let the love of God continue

to guide you in the shadowed corners of my younger years the veiled fear of the dark held the vice like grip on me the night was a haunting playground of unseen dangers a stage set for the bearer of covered eyes to ens snare the unw these fears as Relentless as they were irrational kept me yearning for the comforting Embrace Of a lamp or light source a beacon that would ward off the encroaching Darkness life moved on and my teen years found me huddled under the same blanket of Terror only this time a glimmer of light

pierced the Gloom it was the Divine illumination of the Lord an overwhelming Radiance that seared away the dread I had harbored I was Spellbound by his glory his magnificence and I couldn't help but yearn to deepen my connection with him to become an Instrument of his will so I embarked on a spiritual journey Guided by prayer and intercession As I Grew in faith I found myself led to pray for others a spiritual communion taking place under the comforting cover of light but then came a day when this Sanctuary was breached as I was deep in

prayer the light flickered and died plunging me into the dreaded Darkness Panic seized me the familiar Terror Rising like a monstrous wave I could Almost hear the whispering approach of the Unseen enemy my call for my parents going unanswered but just as despair threatened to overtake me the Divine words I had committed to my heart sprung forth for God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind the scripture my spiritual Shield burst from my lips lips battling the fear that sought to consume me rising

from my knees I repeated this Divine Mantra drawing on its strength my voice once trembling now rang out with conviction as I prayed in the language of the Holy Spirit I am not afraid I refuse to succumb to fear the enemy holds no power over me this Litany of Faith echoed through the darkness my confidence swelling with each utterance it felt as if the Spectre of fear had retreated driven Away by The Fortress of faith I had erected and then as if acknowledging my victory the light Returned wasn't that an astonishing Testament of Faith from

that night I drew profound lessons the Christian who walks steadfastly in faith who harnesses The Power of Love And Sound Mind bestowed by God is the one who Satan fears the most this kind of Christian armed with the word and unyielding in the face of Darkness sends the enemy fleeing let us then strive to be such Christians for in doing so we bring light to the darkest corners and become The beacon that Satan absolutely fears how do you tell a spiritual attack from a regular setback how do you know if what you just experienced was

coming from another person or from Satan attacking you from the natural standpoint it can be quite difficult to tell when you are truly under a spiritual attack in this video I will share some biblical signs that will help you identify spiritual attacks so that you can know how to deal with them what Is a spiritual attack simply put a spiritual attack is an attack by the enemy against a child of God with the intention to steal kill and destroy in John 10:1 Jesus tells us about the source of spiritual attacks the devil the thief comes

only to steal and kill and destroy I have come that they may have life and have it to the full and the Apostle Peter in his own Epistles told us to stay on guard because the enemy is always roaming About seeking someone to pounce on 1 Peter 5: 8-9 be alert and of sober mind your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour resist him standing firm in the faith because you know that the family of Believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings so whenever you

see something in your life which the Holy Spirit or the word of God clearly doesn't align you are under a spiritual attack Even though that thing looks or feels easy sweet or good here are some biblical signs to watch out for so that you can properly identify and deal with spiritual battles the right way number one you are under constant exposure to Temptations and sinful Tendencies a Christian who is in a position where someone or something is constantly and easily laring them to sin is under a spiritual attack you see the devil knows that he

cannot possess a Christian why Because a Christian is occupied by the spirit of God the Holy Spirit two contrary Spirits cannot live in a single person light and darkness cannot coexist however the Christian has a challenge even though the devil cannot possess you he can manipulate deceive and oppress a Believer to try to make them do the thing he would have easily made them do if he could possess them the devil will always try different means to divide your focus and test Your Allegiance he Wins the fight each time he successfully gets you to do

what he wants and displease God how does the enemy send you Temptations He will use those things that appeal to your Fallen nature to the flesh for some people it's sex for some it's lust for power or money for others it could be greed James 1: 14-15 says but each person is tempted when they are dragged Away by their own evil desire and enticed then after desire has Conceived it gives birth to sin and sin when it is full grown gives birth to death he knows that these things are powerful and damaging when they get

a hold on you he also knows that it will take help Beyond yourself to resist those things because they are things your flesh craves you have to resist that temptation to watch sexual content on your phone or computer you have to resist that urge to engage in sexual relations with someone you are not Married to you must resist that urge to steal or falsify those documents you have to your Victory as a Christian depends on it and God has given you the authority of the name of Jesus James 4:7 says so submit to the authority

of God resist the devil stand firm against him and he will flee from you I know it is naturally difficult but that is why you have the Holy Spirit to comfort you in the storm don't worry about how Fierce the pressure is if you can trust the Holy Spirit to sustain you in resisting the devil for long enough the Temptation will pass and the enemy will flee from you number two someone you are connected with directly or indirectly is influencing you to compromise your fa faith and God's instructions the Bible calls Christian Warfare the fight

of faith it is the contest between the Christian their flesh and the devil the enemy's goal is to devour you and in order to do that he needs to get you to Cast aside your faith the Bible encourages us to be on guard for this your faith is your treasure that you must protect it will reward you if you stand in it until the end for the Christian the faith is not only about confessing belief in God but of how that conviction influences our daily lives in agreement with the word of God hence a sign

that the kingdom of darkness is attacking you is that Satan is using someone or something in your life to Influence your negativity the Bible warns us not to be unequally yolked with unbelievers 2 Corinthians 6: 14-15 says do not be yolked together with unbelievers for what do righteousness and wickedness have in common or what Fellowship ship can light have with Darkness what Harmony is there between Christ and bile or what does a Believer have in common with an unbeliever yolks in themselves are not bad what makes a Yoke dangerous is that being behind it when

you are yoked to Christ in the Holy Spirit you are in a partnership with God and are headed in the direction of glory and well-being but if you are yolked to an unbeliever such a partnership is a burden for which Satan is responsible I like to imagine being a equally yolked as having a Yol placed on a mature cow and a small goat there is such a difference between these two animals that the job or Journey would be Difficult for them to make together it would even be better if they were by themselves yoking them

together would wear them out 10 times faster than if they were both the same height today you have people in positions where they influence a multitude of people especially young people influences can be from Friends social media personalities celeb lities movies and preachers if anyone in your life is constantly influencing you to go Contrary to what God's word says and you seem powerless to go against them because of how much respect love or value you have placed on them you are yolked if you do not deal with this you are soon to wear yourself out

spiritually in struggling and will Embrace their lifestyle against God's plan for you this is a spiritual warfare that you must protect yourself against and deal with how by cutting off your attachment and Breaking their influence over you God is not showing you what to do with your relationship with unbelievers because you shouldn't love them on the contrary you must know that love is not approval of everything that you love someone does not mean you will allow them to kill your children you would protect your baby at all cost the Bible tells us to protect our

hearts with all diligence because our lives depend on it if your relationship with anyone starts going Against your belief in God's instructions concerning you then you must make the decision to disconnect from them your salvation and soul come first don't keep a friend and lose your soul number three you are receiving a miracle breakthrough or power when you know you are not ready to handle it God blesses his children with Miracles power open doors and breakthroughs but Satan also does the same the difference is that of course they are not on the same Level whatever

God gives you is good and will add value to your life but whatever the enemy brings into your life will bring nothing but evil and destruction James 1:1 17 says every good and perfect gift is from above coming down from the father of the Heavenly lights who does not change like shifting shadows in Proverbs 10:22 says the blessing of the Lord makes one rich and he adds no sorrow with it before God brings you into any position gives you Any power or causes you to experience a breakthrough he will first prepare you for it God

never gives you something he hasn't prepared or equipped you for if you get what you want and don't know what to do with it you may abuse it and it might destroy you there is a time for everything a man of God once said not all doors are opened by God even prisons have doors some open doors have led many people into captivity yes God delivers and protects his children even when they Fall into such dangers yet it is important that we are on guard so that we can know how to read the signs whether

God is responsible for a blessing or not it is not good to always rush into every opportunity that presents itself to you and often times it is not from God if it puts so much pressure on you takes away your peace or appears as if you will gain many things at the detriment of your time with God service to his kingdom or obedience to His word so whether you have just been given a position of power which you can see that you are not mature enough to handle or perhaps you are getting offers that look

like answers to prayers but you know it will require sacrificing following Jesus your spiritual character or values or your spirituality as a whole to handle it then you must not give into it peace and grace are proof that what you have been given though heavy is still from God and he will Strengthen you to do it anxiety fear abuse and instability are proof of that something didn't come from God and it wants to destroy you reject Satan's offer don't be Hasty to get into the blessings of God he promised it let him fulfill it not

you wait on the Lord and He will honor those who do number four the things you are seeing in God's word and according to his Visions for you seem Out Of Reach even though they have come around you I had to put this in at The last minute because it is an issue Believers everywhere are dealing with one spiritual warfare or another some people come from a family line where no one gets married and those who do Never Last some are coming from families where people die of one disease or another once they reach 30

some are watching the children go from obedient and God-fearing to rebellious and arrogant before their very eyes I could go on now please note that sometimes God may allow Certain things to happen so that he can carry out his plan for you however the the word of God has told us clearly that God does not bring evil on his children circumstances may be hard but they will never be evil it is not God's promise for your children to die at a young age or from doing drugs it's not God's promise that you will lose your

life the day of your breakthrough it is not God's will that you have to spend money on sickness that comes any time you receive Money that my friend is the devil and you are in a spiritual warfare you must rise up and rebuke the devil over your life family and health in the name of Jesus or else he will continue to have a field day in this Warfare you are not fighting to beat the devil because Christ has already done that what you are doing is enforcing what God has said over you against what the

devil is doing you have to pray fast if you have to but pray standing on God's promises Concerning his children thus you are submitting to God's Authority then you can resist the devil and command him to leave your life loved ones and possessions alone and he will lastly number five you are sleeping spiritually most believers do not know this but spiritual Slumber is a thing that's right when a Christian is sleeping spiritually here are some things that will show it one they will lack spiritual Sensitivity they won't be able to tell where when or how

God is moving in or around their lives too they will lose spiritual interests things like prayer studying the word fasting attending church or engaging in Kingdom activities will no longer stir them they will have an excuse to avoid them or to rush through them without any heart three because they are insensitive at that time they will always deny that they are under an attack from the devil Jesus Himself warned us to make sure that we are awake so that when he returns we won't have dozed off and let go of things we you were supposed

to hold on to until the end this does not mean that you should consider everything around you as Warfare against you but it also doesn't mean you should walk around with your guard down the Lord has warned us to stay on guard at all times for a reason the devil is always on the move and you must be intentional about Standing in the victory of Christ when you are awake you will notice that complacency is creeping in disinterest in the things of God is creeping in lust is attempting to grab hold of you or a

person is obviously sent by the devil and you will rise up and deal with them that's why we have the Holy Spirit he rises up through us and nullifies Satan's attacks on us we must therefore not be sleeping so that we do not miss these signs nor miss the spirit when he Rises in us as we journey through life navigating the Sea of choices one may often wonder how do I discern the path that God has for me how can I ensure my decisions align with his divine plan we all face these inquiries in our

hearts particularly when we're standing at life's Crossroads required to make a choice life and its infinite diversity presents us with a myriad of decisions some come naturally flowing like a Serene stream requiring little thought yet others are like formidable mountains demanding our time reflection and careful consider eration these decision-making processes vary from person to person some Revel in making choices finding joy in the challenge While others may feel overwhelmed even by seemingly insignificant decisions there are instances when our choices are not about Discerning right from wrong we all understand the Importance of that instead our

decisions become a fork in the road where we're asked to choose between two paths both seemingly right it's like deciding between pursuing further studies or embarking on a career or pondering whether to continue your education at the doctoral level it could be choosing between two job offers both promising yet different it might be about deciding to marry the person you love someone who shares your faith and values yet Wondering if this aligns with God's plan or it could be about moving to a new city for a better career opportunity leaving behind a supportive Christian Community

and your family in these instances the decision is not as clear-cut as choosing between right and wrong it's about choosing the right path when both paths seem right in these moments we may feel as if God's guidance is not as clear as we'd hope we stand at the fork in the road praying for a Divine sign yearning for his voice to guide us so how do we navigate this Labyrinth of decisions how do we ensure we're following God's plan when the path isn't clearly marked the answer lies in faith trust and surrender we need to

have faith in God's wisdom trust in his plan and surrender our need for control by doing this we allow God to guide us to light our path and to help us make the decision that aligns with his divine plan remember God cares about our Choices in our lives he has invested in our journey when we are faced with decisions big or small it's not about choosing the perfect path instead it's about trusting God enough to guide us on the right path it's about learning to release control and trusting in his wisdom to guide us it's

about believing that no matter the decision we make if we do it with God in our hearts it's the right one dear friends when you find yourself at life's Crossroads remember That you're not alone God is with you guiding you even when his voice seems silent trust in him surrender your worries and he will light your path in this vast tapestry of Life each thread we weave is a decision we make often leaving us questioning if the pattern we create aligns with the Divine Design notice the Divine doesn't necessarily dictate our initial Choice the choice

is ours and the significance lies not in the path chosen but in the Manner we treat it suppose we Veer right well done but are we walking that path with Grace with humility with faith that is what truly matters life presents us with numerous Crossroads each demanding a decision from the trivial to the profound some barely register in our Consciousness While others weigh heavily on our souls all these decisions should be calibrated against the teachings of the Holy Spirit our divine blueprint however some choices become Entangled in the web of emotions Alternatives and indecisiveness in

those moments seek counsel with God he is already aware of your desires and the outcomes God in his omniscience knows what is best for you he observes the past present and future simultaneously God's guidance manifests not necessarily in the initial decision but in the journey that unfolds take the first step start moving and let God lead you on the right path his wisdom and Love will guide you through the Labyrinth of life's decisions ensuring you walk the path he designed for you and remember God's knowledge transcends time he knows the past the present and the

future trust in him and he will guide you in making the right decisions imagine God's perspective as a sweeping Vista that encompasses all of time every moment every detail even as Min as the count of your hair strands all fully seen and known in the Book of Matthew 10:30 it says but the very hairs of your head are all numbered and Luke 12:7 says but the very hairs of your head are all numbered numbered do not fear therefore you are of more value than many sparrows one might question why does God desire our prayers if

he is already in possession of such all-encompassing knowledge the reason lies in his profound longing for an intimate and meaningful connection with us his knowledge is Limitless but ours is not His wish is for us to grow and mature in our faith leading us to make decisions that resonate with his Divine will and teachings through this process we not only honor God but also amplify his presence in our lives to achieve this you must strive to cultivate a mindset that relinquishes its own desires a heart that is willing to yield its own wants this is

by no means an easy task a substantial part of the challenge in deciding difficult matters is the Struggle to overcome our own stubborn wills it is essential for us to align our will with God's design for our lives it's a struggle indeed if we dare to be honest with ourselves we would admit that we often yearn to follow our own desires to combat this immerse yourself in God's word and engage in prayer imploring God to align your will with his we often seek out signs or trust our feelings both of which can easily be swayed

by our personal biases However the ultimate good for us invariably aligns with God's will here's an important thing to remember even when you are Guided by faith mistakes can happen but even in these moments God's grace is ever present he has a remarkable neck for turning our errors around if they are made genuinely and in good faith he knows your heart and understands your willingness to fulfill his expectations God's wisdom surpasses ours and he is aware that what he asks Of us may not always be easy this is where two crucial questions come into play

are you truly listening to God's guidance and are you placing your trust in his plan man God is capable of positioning you exactly where you need to be even if it seems impossible he can orchestrate the intricate details of your life far ahead of time he can unlock the doors that seem impenetrable and remove any obstacles that impede your journey he has the Divine ability To weave your choices into his Grand tapestry ensuring that you arrive at the right place at the right time so when you ask how do I know what decision God wants

me to make remember immerse yourself in his word pray for his guidance and Trust his wisdom Above All Else making the right decisions in life comes from aligning your will with God's and trusting that he can guide you to where you need to be our Lord is a redeemer a Beacon of Hope Transforming Our errors into lessons of wisdom he is like a skilled Artisan sculpting greatness from our missteps if only we provide him with the raw material a heart that is open and cooperative remember life will invariably present us with challenges that will call

for tough decisions it is in these moments that we must trust in his Divine orchestration for as it is said in the scriptures the path of the righteous is directed by the Lord we may not always comprehend his Grand Design but rest assured even amidst the storm he steers our ship as you lay down to rest each night be comforted by the knowledge that our heavenly father Watches Over Us guiding our course opening and closing doors is necessary he is not merely directing us he is nurturing us with him at the helm we are always

secure our journey with God is Not Guided by a map but by a relationship remember the children of Israel in the wilderness how did the Lord guide them the answer lies in our connection with him through the Living Word engage in dialogue with him seek his counsel immerse yourself in his holy scriptures these are the tools that light the path to to wisdom and godly decision-making it's Paramount to remember our Lord will never under any circumstances prompt us to make a decision contradicting his word consider the wisdom in Romans 12:2 do not conform to the

pattern of This world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is his good pleasing and perfect will in essence the Lord cautions us against aligning with the world's ungodly L desires succumbing to such Temptations will undoubtedly lead us astray Discerning God's Will and making the right decisions is a journey it's a journey that calls for a steadfast relationship with God an unwavering Faith in his Divine guidance and an enduring commitment to his word as we tread this path we are not merely

making decisions but crafting a life of wisdom righteousness and divine fulfillment may we all be blessed on this journey we often crave a clear Road map a series of signs saying go here then there and you'll reach your destination but our journey with God isn't about a fixed destination it's about the path we tread the relationship we cultivate with him Our journey with God is a beautiful dance of trust not knowing what tomorrow holds yet stepping forward with Faith remember his will never leads you where his grace can't sustain you his divine plan is the

very best for you and your loved ones but how do we discover his will for the journey ahead We Begin by embracing his will in our present moments a ship at anchor cannot be guided only when its sails can its course be adjusted God's divine plan is In a secret blueprint handed over to us it's an invitation to grow to mature to make decisions rooted in faith when Adam was tasked to cultivate the garden and name the animals he was given the freedom to choose to make decisions this Freedom wasn't a burden it was a

gift an opportunity for growth similarly God lets us choose he is always there for counsel and support but he also desires for us to grow to make decisions that Foster our spiritual maturity so as we Stand at life's Crossroads let's remember to seek his counsel to align our decisions with his word and to step forward in faith for it is in these moments of choosing of discerning his will that we grow closer to him that we become the people he desires us to be our choices today shape our journey with god let's Choose Wisely with

faith and with love anyone can have an opinion about you but regardless of the opinion of People with God on your side no one should be able to hurt you if they're against you dear child of God are you aware that God is for you and not against you don't fall into the enemy's trap of lies that tells you God's angry at the world and you don't fall for the lie that because of what you did yesterday God wants nothing to do with you that is a lie God does not only love you he continues

to give himself to those Things that'll influence you to walk in his path of safety for you that's what the Bible reveals to us in Ezekiel 3626 to 27 I will give give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you I will remove from you Your Heart of Stone and give you a heart of Flesh I will put my spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws do you love God have you put your faith in Jesus and made the decision to walk in

obedience in his words if you have then regardless of what's happening or going on in your life right now God is on your side and he will turn whatever comes your way around for your good Romans 8: 28-31 and we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him who have been called according to his purpose for those God fornew he also predestined to be confirmed to the image Of his son that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters and those he predestined he also called those

he called he also Justified those he justified he also glorified What then shall we say in response to these things if God is for us who can be against us many Believers are afraid and concerned about people's opinions we believe that we are who they say we are and so we try all we can to measure up To their opinions but you need to know that anyone can have an opinion about you either good or bad whether people's opinions of you are true or not depends on you whether their opinions get to you or not

depends on you look the world's not designed to be on your side what does this mean well it means that you don't belong to the world and the world will not like you they may respect you and like you for the things you stand for However the world runs in such a way that when you stand for God it opposes you this is why the Bible says that friendship with the world is eny with God God's not at peace with the systems of this world that's why he's doing everything he can to save as many

people from it as possible the devil is the God of this world's system he influences things policies technology governments and people to sin and destroy each other the Bible testifies that we all used to be part of the system but Salvation found us and rescued us when we put our faith in the Gospel of Jesus 2 Corinthians 4:4 the God of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers so that they cannot see the light of the Gospel that displays the glory of Christ who is the image of God so the moment you become a

child of God the new life will influence inuence your choices and personality in such a way that will contradict the Suggestions of this world because of this people will have diverse opinions about you and many will oppose you this is the reason for the persecutions many Believers face daily around the world however it's proof that you're on the right path also there's hope for the believer because no matter how much the world opposes you they can't overcome you why because God's on your side if you've got God on your side then you are on The

Winning Side I want to use the story of the Israelites God's people as a model story to inspire your faith and confidence in God regardless of the opposition around you I love using them because they're a perfect example of Christians in the world today there are many similarities we can pick from their Journey from Egypt to the promised land for them Egypt was a place of bondage where they were stuck for hundreds of years until Moses brought them out coming out of Egypt was like you and me being rescued from a life of sin by

Jesus each step towards the promised land is similar to each daily step the believer takes in our journey of faith and relationship with God as Moses was constantly with them teaching instructing and working God's power in their lives we have Jesus the Holy Spirit and spiritual leaders whom God's using as we make steady progress in Faith but as you observe the Israelites on their Journey you'll notice how different nations had different opinions about them each country that attacked them did so out of an opinion fear Envy hatred and so on these countries range from the

moabit king balac who hired a prophet to curse the Israelites and join forces with the midianites to seduce them to the giban ites who came to swear Allegiance all because they were afraid of them every nation that rose up Against the Israelites fell before them this wasn't because they were some powerful nation in themselves but because God was with them fighting their battles for them and confirming his promise to Abraham I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore your descendants

will take possession of the cities of their enemies Genesis 22:17 the children of Israel did not turn back because all the nations were against them in fact on one occasion even when they asked one of the Nations to allow them Passage through the land and the nation responded with war the Israelites didn't back down they were on a journey to their promised destination and God was with them whoever stood up to oppose them was standing up to oppose God who was with them this is what the Bible meant when it said if God be for

Us who can be against us the most important thing you should be considering are these questions am I on God's side have I put my faith in Jesus if your answer is yes to these questions then here's an assurance you must carry with you no one can oppose you because God is with you if God be for us who can be against us does this mean opposition won't arise oh no opposition will arise friends will turn against you family may even turn Against you Society media even your community May challenge and mock your faith you

may be receiving death threats because you didn't approve Lifestyles and wickedness that corrupt others but you don't need to fear God is on your side he will preserve you he will show himself on your behalf your case may not be that extreme it may involve you dealing with Envy in your office school or Community wherever it may be none can oppose you and Prevail as long as God is with you Isaiah 8:10 devise your strategy but it will be thwarted propose your plan but it will not stand for God is with us I remember how

a close friend of my younger sister in junior high school snuck into the staff office and tried to manipulate the term results so that my younger sister would lose credit while she would climb up in the class records thank God that she was caught And punished for it she claimed to be my sister's friend but we found out later that she didn't even like my sister because of the favor she seemed to enjoy in the whole school my sister held many offices in that school at that time and most were credited to her intelligence participation

in school programs and being a role model to her fellow students through a tough spiritual and moral character this young lady envied her and wanted her to fail it was an Opposition and because my sister had God he fought for her where she couldn't fight for herself there are people like this in offices organizations schools even neighborhoods they're going to accuse you of being too involved being too active being too nice being too honest being too kind and being too blessed you see all these are marks of God's grace in you when you carry God's

spirit in you you'll be productive Useful kind and honest you'll stand for truth with boldness you'll not accept anything other than what God intended for you and what agrees with his word what should you do when opposition arises Jesus answered in John 16:33 I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace in this world you'll have trouble but take heart I have overcome the world opposition will arise don't give up Don't Fear Don't Panic instead trust God celebrate your position in Christ because it's a position of victory hence the Bible

says you should count it all joy when challenges come why because God will use it to create a greater testimony for you the greater one lives in you he is greater than the threat in your office or home he is greater than any opposition you will ever face don't fear Don't Panic Take the opposition before God In Prayer Ask the Lord to take over respond to their negative opinions with love and joy when life presses you let love flow out let Faith flow out let strength flow out and let God flow out in all things

dear child of God you are more than a conqueror walk in your Victory my friend God is on your side you will not lose this fight are you dealing with an impossible situation in your life right now well God can make that impossible situation Possible no matter the obstacles in your way dear child of God what comes to mind when you think about the power and work of God the Lord is not some deity who gets backed into a corner by events and becomes powerless God's not caught off guard by any situation in our lives

he never makes mistakes he never has and he never will do the people who serve and trust him sometimes face impossible situations Yes they do however they're never left without help sometimes God will outright keep us from certain challenges and other times he'll let us be surrounded and even overwhelmed by the situation however in all these situations no matter the nature of the issue at hand he knows how to deliver us one thing I want you to know about God is that he knows how to deliver his people those who trust him out of Trouble

in the best way Peter wrote in second Peter 2:9 if this is so then the Lord knows how to rescue The Godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment it may not be the way you want but he will always come through David also testified in the Psalms the righteous person may have many troubles but the Lord delivers him from them all Psalm 34:19 I can't say I know how you feel or things you're going through right now I can't say I completely understand your crisis however I want

you to know that God can take that impossible situation before you right now and make it possible do not let the devil make you feel like this is beyond God or like he doesn't care about you even if your situation seems to be taking a long time to deal with I know many days are hard But your safest place is with God one thing that genuinely breaks my heart is when I hear people who've been pressed by life say how they feel God has betrayed them I came across a lady's post on Twitter the other

day and she was sharing why she stopped attending church and didn't want have anything to do with God anymore why because she felt God had favorites and she wasn't one of them she said she never got anything she asked For many people whom she knew got testimonies and miracles but it seemed like she never got anything even when she did what they did it was sad to read through this statement by someone who probably had genuinely just wanted to experience God please hear me I want you to know that the fact that you've yet to

see the change does not mean that God doesn't exist it also doesn't mean that he doesn't love you there's a statement by The Apostle Paul about the death of God's love for his children in Romans 8:38-39 for I am convinced that neither death nor life neither angels nor demons neither the present nor future nor any powers neither height nor depth nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Jesus Christ Our Lord do you notice how he mentioned different shades of challenges he listed Devils

demons Life Death time and troubles he said that none of these things are enough to separate us from the Father's love God demonstrated his love for you already when Jesus died on that cross like my pastor would say even if you were the only one on earth Jesus would still have come to die for you God loves you that much therefore it's not a question of God's love but of his sovereignty God is Sovereign on all Levels dear Saint whatever he does he does it to suit his master plan it may put you in a

tight situation right now but if you expand your view you would see God in every story and in every detail changing everything for the grand revelation of his purpose if like that lady you feel God has never come through for you even though you've put your trust in him and you're obeying what his word says then you must remember this one thing Trusting God is a matter of faith and submission to him being a child of God does not only have to do with receiving great things in life and having your needs met that's a

blessing and our inheritance however the more you grow in Christ and in your relationship with God the more you'll learn that God's ways are far different from ours it takes Faith to trust and follow him Faithfully until the miracle comes he has many reasons why he may not Do some of the things you ask it's not because he doesn't want to it's not because he's a miser that Hoards his best from his children it's not because he doesn't have the power to God is never powerless and can do the impossible sometimes you're not ready for

the things you're asking God to give or perhaps you are ready but it is not yet time perhaps you think you need this but according to God's plan for you you Don't it could be anything but not because it's impossible for God remember he created the universe plus everything in it he empowered a 90-year-old woman to conceive and give birth to a baby he parted the Red Sea and made a way through it for his people to walk on dry ground when the pursuing Army ventured to attempt the same they drowned he empowered a teenage

boy to take down a giant with just a single Stone from his Sling he caused an axe head to float on water he brought back a man who had died and been buried for 4 days I could go on nothing is impossible for God to do Jeremiah 32:27 I am the Lord the God of all mankind is anything too hard for me and the Bible says that he never changes he's the same yesterday today and forever if he's done it before if he's done it for others then surely he can do It for you God

can my friend please say this with me and repeat it to yourself God can make my impossible possible no matter the obstacle before me you don't need to know how he'll do it that's not your job your job is to believe that he can do it and he will do it and the Bible says that he shows himself strong on the behalf of those whose hearts are fixed towards Him impossible situations are those moments when you feel the most helpless those are moments when there's nothing you can do say or give by yourself in an

impossible situation you're grasping at your last straw many people fall into depression frustration and despair when they're confronted by an impossible situation however what if I told you that God loves impossible Situations why because he has the opportunity to reveal himself more to you in them I remember a time when I needed to pay my tuition fees in college during a short program we had something they called a mids sessional exam they wanted all the students to participate in it was crucial for us to pass this exam or we would never make it to the

final exam well I didn't have the fees and the exam was fast approaching I prayed and Trusted God for it I made all the phone calls I could I didn't qualify for a student loan and was stranded but I kept reading and preparing I trusted God and was willing to see the situation through to the end I'd learned through many difficulties in my life that my only hope was Jesus outside of him I was hopeless but with him even when it seemed I was going through difficulties there was hope for my Future well the money

I needed finally came the night before the exam the school system was set up in such a way that you couldn't make a digital transfer you could only pay your fees at the approved Bank where they'd issue a receipt for you to be confirmed in the school's day database well that morning I was out early and arrived first to the testing center I saw other students waiting too some still hadn't paid and were hoping They'd be allowed in I had my money with me but was waiting for the banks to open by the time the

banks opened for the day the lecturers and supervisors had already begun screening students who would take the exam and sending others home before I rushed to the bank I noticed they had a sheet of paper in their hand hands with the printed names of those who paid I almost lost my hope but I still trusted God for a miracle so I took off to the bank and made the Payment by the time I returned they were still calling the names and were almost at the bottom of the list they were to call 120 names among

the hundreds of students in that program the rest didn't pay and so weren't on the list the list was printed so that even if you paid that morning it would still be impossible to be called but I had seen and read about God's power and was willing to trust him with this guess what my name was called as the 120th Name the last name on the list though it was an answer to my prayers I couldn't hide my shock how did it happen of course I didn't wait to find out I ran in and took

the exam this is just an example of how far God can go for anyone who dare to to trust him no matter the circumstance in front of you does it look bad like really really bad you can trust God with it dare to trust God take it to him in prayer and stand on his word perhaps the Situation is so desperate that you don't have time to go through your Bible so check your spirit for a word like this one in Isaiah 57 for the Lord God will help me therefore I will not be disgraced

therefore I have set my face like a flint and I know that I will not be ashamed this is one of my favorite verses especially that first line the Lord God will help me when I'm down I say to myself Lord I Don't know what to say or how to pray anything right now but I'll will remind myself that you're my help and you will help me this keeps me going and I see God changing the situation to my advantage you need to learn to commit God's words to Heart especially his promises to you through

faith and patience you will see the impossible become possible before your very Eyes do not give up just yet though it may fail though the deadline may even pass and the trouble hit don't lose Faith there is a God that follows his people into the fire he may sometimes keep you from the fire but other times he goes in with you so that you will be refined by the flames and then he will bring you out with a greater testimony if the three Hebrew boys have been kept from being thrown into the Flames they would

have continued to Stand for God but with the same testimony as before they would have had nothing unique to share about God's grace and nothing special to show those around them about God however God used an impossible situation in their lives something they didn't expect as the means to reveal himself through them my friend God is about to use your situation to reveal himself to the world and to you in a greater measure hand over the situation to him through prayer And complete trust then watch and see how he makes the impossible possible gaze upon

the Grandeur of Stillness for it is in this silent Sanctuary that the Divine Essence speaks echoing The Familiar phrase I am God this phrase lifted from the Sacred Book of Psalms 46:10 is more than a mere verse it is an invitation a gentle beckoning to rest in the divine presence to hush the clamor of worldly Distractions and to listen consider the mighty Deeds of the Lord how he dispenses Justice upon the land how he quells tell the turbulence of Wars how he breaks the weapons of conflict and consumes the Chariots in an unquenchable fire yes

my friends stand still and in that Stillness let the knowledge of his divinity seep into your soul let his glory be exalted Above All Nations let it ReSound throughout the Earth for the Lord of hosts walks with us the god of Jacob our unshakable Fortress Is ever presentent Psalms 46 with its Rich tapestry of imagery reassures us that in every circumstance every ordeal the Lord remains our refuge our strength and our Bull workk against the tempests of Life the refrain the Lord of hosts is with us Echoes not once but twice reinforcing his unfaltering presence

amidst our trials Psalm 46 is a narrative spun in the third person a narrative that seeks to remind the reader of of the Almighty's omnipotence and his active involvement amidst our struggles and yet as we arrive at the 10th verse a fascinating transformation unfolds The Narrative perspective shifts pivoting from a third person perspective to a more intimate seconders view no longer does the verse speak about the Lord rather in a profound twist it is the Lord himself who addresses us the readers and listeners directly it is in this moment of direct address that we Find

ourselves face to face with the Divine in a deeply personal encounter with the Almighty we are urged to lay down our burdens to Ste our trembling hearts and to stand firm in our faith secure in the knowledge that God Is With Us by our side this profound message is our anchor our Beacon of Hope in trying times whether young or old this Timeless wisdom Rings true it inspires it uplifts it resonates through it we are reminded that no matter the Trials we Face we are not alone so my dear friends let us be still let

us stand strong in our faith and let us always remember God is by our side in the hush Silence of the hearts let us invite the Lord's presence and hear his Divine whisper Psalms 46:10 be still and know that I am God I will be exalted among the Nations I will be exalted in the earth we recall Apostle Paul's prophetic counsil the Timothy in 2 Timothy 3: 1-9 cautioning Him about the challenges that would pepper The Chronicles of the church as people's hearts lean towards self-love and worldly pleasures over Divine love they would nurture a

cold unforgiving nature adorned with a veneer of piety but lacking its true Essence this message Echoes Through the Ages warning not only Timothy but all of Christ disciples about the deceptive teachers intent on leading the innocent astray my dear friends my soul aches for a bond With God that is profound as the depths of the ocean as Limitless as the sky I yearn for an encounter with him as intense as Moses's encounter with the burning bush I long to face the adversities of life unflinching and unafraid with the courage of Daniel and the Lion's Den

I aspire to be a humble servant in God's Divine Kingdom living a life of purpose yearning to hear his voice say Well done my faithful servant yet I am under no Illusions the Adversary will not stand by idly as I strive to ascend the ladder of Faith as I seek to fortify my prayers the enemy will craft intricate plans aimed to dishearten and distract to plant seeds of doubt and temptations designed to steer me away from God's divine plan for my life however let me assure you I am not daunted I refuse to live in

fear or anxiety for I am empowered by the Divine who resides Within Me infinitely Mightier than any foe that threatens from the outside even as God prepares to elevate me and the adversary gears up to challenge I stand firm unshaken with the victory Banner of Jesus held high I commit to clothe myself with God full armor standing strong in faith forever and always remember no matter the trials of tribulations that beset your path stand firm and be still with God embrace the strength of your faith and know beyond Any doubt that God is still by

your side he is your Refuge your strength your everpresent help in times of trouble so be still and stand strong in faith for the Lord of all creation is with you always in the silent Whispers of our hearts there's a call that resonates echoing the words abide with me Divine One or perhaps you found yourself in quiet contemplation pleading are you their savior or maybe Empower me heavenly father it's remarkable how a Quartet of humble voices can encapsulate a universe of emotion over the years as I've journeyed through life and faith I've come to a

profound realization the longing of his presence has magnified in my heart the desire for his companionship has intensified and the yearning for the almighty to remain steadfast beside me has Amplified What Lies Beneath this deep seated longing you might wonder the answer is simple it's my utmost need for The Messiah Jesus Christ I've tried charting my own course to no avail I've encountered the bitter truth that with without his guiding hand Victory remains elusive breakthroughs turn into mirages and peace of mind becomes a distant dream therefore my soul yearns for Jesus Christ the only one

who has extended an unconditional invitation in psalm 55:22 which says cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you he will never let the righteous be shaken I'll confess During trying times my heart often repeats a simple Mantra a prayer whispered in faith stay with me Jesus Stay With Me Lord in moments of Temptation my spirit softly implores fortify me Lord fortify me Jesus and if you find resonance in these words I urge you beloved child of God to remain unyielding in the word of the Lord embrace the Stillness yet stand strong in

your faith remember God remains by your side A steadfast Pillar of Strength strength and a beacon of divine love his presence is a constant reminder that no matter the battles you face you are never alone God is with you every step of the way offering his unwavering support and guidance in the depths of life's challenges when the weight of the world feels heavy upon your shoulders there is a source of strength and comfort waiting for you it is in those moments that you must take those burdens those things That weigh you down and surrender them

to the loving embrace of Jesus Christ just as the psalmist declares in Psalms 121: 1 and 2 I lift up my eyes to the hills from where does my help come my help comes from the Lord who made Heaven and Earth today my dear friends your help comes from the Lord as well the wisdom of David a man after God's Own Heart when faced with trials and tribulations David cried out to the Lord before he sought answers from anyone Else before jumped to conclusions or question why things were happening he reached out to the name

that is above every other name the name of Jesus Christ like David I encourage you to cry out to the Lord for yourself call upon the lion of the tribe of Judah the one who has the power to calm storms and bring peace to your soul in the midst of this chaotic world it's essential to be sober and alert for our adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion Seeking someone to devour but fear not my friends for we are not alone in this battle 1 Peter 5 reminds us to resist the enemy and

stand strong in our faith knowing that our brothers and sisters throughout the world are enduring similar sufferings we are part of a global family of Believers and together we can find the strength to overcome so my dear friends I implore you to take a moment to be still remember you are not alone the Lord is Your help your refuge and your strength be still and stand strong for in him you will find peace that surpasses all understanding may your faith be unshakable your spirit unyielding and may God's presence guide you every step of the way

when the weight of the world seems to be pressing down on us we must remember the powerful message from Hebrews 12:1 therefore we also since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of Witnesses let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily ens snares us and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us just as the Hebrew Christians face persecution and challenges we too must shed the burdens that hold us back and run with unwavering endurance in the race set before us God Almighty the Eternal presence that

transcends time and space is waiting for your call he is the one who has been who is and who will forever Be when it feels like an uphill battle to even open your Bible or utter a prayer call Upon Jesus he is the one who commands Legions of Angels the holder of the keys to life and death no matter what circumstance you find yourself in today whatever trials and tribulations surround you God desires for you to call upon him in the book of Jeremiah CH 33:3 we read these comforting words call to me and I

will will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things You don't know and in Psalm 50:15 we find This Promise call on me in the day of trouble I will deliver you and you will honor me therefore let me encourage you my dear friend to Anchor your faith in God when you meditate on his word when you Embrace his promises he declares trust me in your times of trouble and I will rescue you he beckons abide in me and I will restore you and he invites come to me all who are weary and heavy

laden and I will give you rest So in the midst of your journey shift your perspective let go of the weight that drags you down and instead fix your eyes upon the unfailing love and unshakable strength of the almighty God has the perfect solution for every situation you face he possesses the precise amount of strength needed to uplift you in both the good and the challenging days today my friend I urge you to embrace this truth and let it transform your outlook reflect on the Words of the Apostle Paul the Timothy as recorded in second

Timothy Paul commends Timothy for following his teachings way of life purpose Faith patience love and endurance he acknowledges the persecutions and sufferings Timothy endured It ultimately triumphed over Paul's words as a reminder that standing firm requires not only faithfulness but also the courage to endure hardships moreover Paul urges Timothy to continue with what he has learned and to stay Confident Timothy is a reminder of the individuals who have taught and imparted wisdom into his life this serves as a powerful reminder that we too are not alone in our journey we have been blessed with the

opportunity to learn from Godly men and women who have paved the way before us by following their examples we can navigate the storms of life with great resilience the concept of following is not a mere passive observance but an active pursuit in fact The word followed in verse 10 implies walking closely alongside someone conforming Our Lives to their character and actions Timothy didn't just acknowledge Paul's example he intimately imitated it for many years additionally Timothy's growth and development were influenced by multiple teachers who poured into his life as indicated in verse 14 so dear friends

let us remember that even in in the midst of life's fiercest storms God is still by our side Let us fix our eyes on him drawing strength from his faithfulness and the faithful ones who have gone before us together let us stand firm imitating their examples and following in their footsteps by doing so we will discover the resilience hope and unwavering Faith needed to weather any storm that comes our way trust in God's promises for he is faithful and he will will see us through do you know that although Satan is messing up the lives

of many people Today he has his limits and is afraid of some kinds of people by some kinds of people I mean Christians many people do not really know the devil except by how media may have portrayed him Satan Lucifer or the devil is not an all powerful being he is not on the same level with God he is not the opposite of God and is not greater than anyone in God's family Yes you heard that right when he was kicked out of heaven It wasn't God who engaged him in battle it was an angel

Revelation 12: 7-9 then war broke out in heaven Michael and his angels fought against the dragon and the dragon and his angels fought back but he was not strong enough and they lost their place in heaven the Great Dragon was hurled down that ancient serpent called the devil or Satan who leads the whole world astray he was hurled to the Earth and his angels with him when he will be locked Away from the earth for a thousand years it won't be God doing that himself it will take just one Angel Revelations 20: 1-3 and I

saw an angel coming down out of Heaven having the keys to the abyss and holding in his hand a great chain he sees the dragon that ancient serpent who is the devil or Satan and bound him for a thousand years he threw him into to the abyss and locked and sealed over him to keep him from deceiving the Nations Anymore until the thousand years were ended after that he must be set free for a short time you see all through the Bible we are never told to fear the devil or bew of his power God

never told us that the adversary was powerful however he told us the adversary was crafty both a thief and a liar in fact the enemy has succeeded in convincing many people that he is powerful through this quality what better way to start beating your opponent than the first Give them a false impression of how powerful you are if you can inject fear into your opponent then you have weakened their defenses they would come to the battle already mentally defeated based on what you have told or showed them about yourself even if none of it is

true they would come to that battle with pictures of the many ways you would beat them all of them are built on nothing but the lies you want them to believe are true Jesus called the devil A liar and the father of all lies he also called them a thief who comes to steal to kill and to destroy the first time he was mentioned in Genesis we can see him demonstrating this quality of dishonesty with his lies he robbed Humanity of their Authority on Earth and caused men to self-destruct do you realize that when the

Bible said be alert and of sober mind your enemy the devil prows around like a roaring lion looking for someone To devour 1 Peter 5:8 it was trying to create a picture for us it isn't that the devil is a roaring lion it's just that he acts like one when a lion roars it cripples its prey and anyone else who can hear it this allows the lion to use the element of fear to paralyze its prey before coming for it the prey may be faster and even more skilled than the lion it may even be

bigger but if the lion can succeed in crippling it with fear it is halfway to its lunch likewise The devil knows that he has been stripped of his power and so he has introduced the strategy of the roaring lion what results in the defeat of bondage of many is not so much the power of the enemy but his Roars his lies and his tricks if you fall for his lies or his traps then you give him power over your life however the devil knows what we have he knows that we carry even better than many

of us do he knows who many of us are but it seems we don't so Who are those the devil fears why does he fear them and what does he fear about them the most the devil fears the child of God the Christian who knows who knows what the devil fears those who know their identity in Christ who know what God's word says about them and who know what it says about the devil the devil is most afraid of people knowing the truth oh no wonder Jesus said then you will know the truth and the

truth will set you free when people know the truth They break the chains that bind them to Satan's control I remember being told about an experiment that was conducted on two groups of people one group was made up of healthy individuals and the second group was of people who had one sickness or another the doctors told the first group of healthy people that they had a terminal disease and would die then place them under observation they told the second group of sick people that they were completely free of Sickness and could eat whatever they wanted

then they placed them under observation too interestingly the group of sick people began to grow healthy and look well their health improved but sadly this wasn't the case with the other group the group of healthy people began to lose weight appear sickly and truly became sick one by by one these two groups internalized and believed the words of the doctors to be final regardless of how they felt the moment Someone they trusted told them something was fine or not fine that was it this is Satan's greatest trick to make Christians believe they are not who

God says they are and to make Christians his Slaves by introducing a counterfeit life through deception his greatest fear is that the moment they know the truth they will break free this is why he puts in so much effort effort to keep people in ignorance or in half-truths as long as you do not know or you know just a wrong Version of the truth you are still going to be bound by him one of the reasons you get an alert from your bank when someone makes a deposit into your account or when money is removed

from your account is not just about security it also keeps you aware you cannot spend money you do not know you have if you were hungry and had lost your device even if someone sent a million dollars to your bank account the fact that you weren't aware would keep you in the same Category as the one who didn't have money at all why because you would not know this is the main reason the Apostle Paul always prayed the Saints would know all that is theirs in the Lord these prayers are called the Pauline prayers I

encourage you to pray them frequently they hold great power an example is found in Ephesians 1:1 17- 21 I keep asking that the god of our Lord Jesus Christ The Glorious father may give you the spirit of wisdom and Revelation so that you may know him better I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people and his incomparably great power for us who believe that power is the same as the

mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the Heavenly Realms far above all Rule and Authority Power and Dominion in every name that is invoked not only in the present age but also in the one to come one of the greatest demonstrations of God's power was at the resurrection of Jesus there death the grave and the entire framework of Satan's Dominion were overturned for God's children and in Paul's prayer he prayed that believer could know that this power is available for us the reason Satan

keeps having a field day in your life is because you Haven't come into the knowledge of who God says you are the way you should you are God's Dwelling Place you are the redeemed of the Lord you have already been forgiven saved healed blessed and given eternal life the moment you gave your life to Jesus through faith in him the devil fears a Christian who knows and has embraced this knowledge is truth do you know what God says about you how do you know and walk in his words spending time in the Bible with God's

Word reading Bible inspired books by sound ministers or authors listening to teachings from God's word and trusting the holy spirit for enlightenment will enhance your knowledge of God's word and release you to new Realms of freedom from the enemy what else does the enemy fear he fears the Christian who walks in the reality of the knowledge they have through faith in Jesus knowledge is powerful but its true power can only be seen when it is used correctly and what Are some ways the knowledge of God's word is used for a Christian number one Christians use

God's word in prayer word-based prayers are powerful prayers and a Christian who prays by the word in faith and in the mighty name of Jesus is a powerful force to be reckoned with the devil fears this type of praying Christian please know that not every prayer will be supported by God there are many people praying today who know little to Nothing about what they are asking nor the one they are asking it from some are even praying from a place of fear rather than a place of faith those prayers lack precision and therefore lack power

however prayer that has power is prayer with faith in the word of God and Prayer by the Christian Who Walks In Christ righteousness James 5:16 says therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed the prayer of a righteous person is Powerful and effective do you now see why the devil doesn't want you praying as often as you should do you now see why he would rather have you distracted by other things or working hard and seeking your own Solutions rather than spending time with God for

wisdom Grace and strength strength to succeed he knows that your prayers have power to stop him and break his grip in and around your life number two Christians use God's Word in confession this is different from prayer you see many people may pray with the word but after getting up from their place of prayer they go and say the opposite of what they just prayed about they will completely neutralize the effect of their prayer the Bible tells us that our words are powerful and they hold the power of death and life so each time you

speak God's word over your life that situation hears God's voice and Response to those words don't let the devil deceive you the word of God works and the word of God in the mouth of a Christian is a powerful weapon against the devil lastly the devil is afraid of the Christian who walks in the righteousness of Christ don't tribalize this truth my friend sin gives the devil a foothold in the life of of any child of God who plays with it you see sin is of the devil and anyone who sins brings themselves under his

power the devil Knows that when you cling to a life of sin your prayers will be hindered and you will struggle to walk with God he fears the Christian who keeps themselves pure from the corruption of this world he knows that he can't accuse them nor can he enslave them this is why the devil keeps doing everything he can to manipulate Christians to sin or stay unrepentant as long as you are not walking in obedience to God's word you give the enemy a field day in your life Dear Saint do not give into his Temptations

it is a trap the person you are afraid will destroy you is only as powerful as his deception goes but if you will stand in Christ and rebuke the devil on the authority of Jesus the Bible says he will flee from you he cannot do otherwise that is your inheritance as a Christian you have the power of God backing you up that is why you are not on the same level with the devil in Christ you have been elevated You sit with God in the Heavenly place now and all things are under your feet too

including the devil and his operations let us pray the Pauline prayer together now Lord I pray that you give me the spirit of wisdom and Revelation so that I may know you better I pray that the Eyes of My Heart be enlightened in order that I may know the hope to which you have called me the riches of your glorious inheritance and your holy people and your incomparably Great power for us who believe in Jesus's name I pray amen prayer is such a powerful weapon in the hands of the believer it is so powerful that

after being equipped with the whole armor of God the Bible tells the believer to always pray in other words our real weapon against the enemy is prayer and faith in the word of God Ephesians 6:18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the spirit being watchful to the end with all Perseverance and supplication for all the saints when God became human and lived among us as Jesus Christ the Bible tells us that he prayed Jesus who is our perfect example the embodiment of both God and man pray he knew that as long as he

was on Earth he was a man and because of this he had to pray or else he too would be prey to those things that men fall prey to Jesus always prayed before he would go out During the day to perform all sorts of mind-blowing Miracles he first isolated himself from everyone else while they slept and prayed he made sure that he soaked himself in prayer before he faced any day it is no wonder that before he spoke demons would cry out before he said anything they would flee why because he had already won in

the secret place of prayer and so the power naturally flowed out of him there is something special About a Praying individual there is an air about them that can be sensed when you are near them do not underestimate estimate the power at the disposal of the person whose prayer altar is always active they can change things Prayer Changes Things my friend God's servant Billy Graham once said true prayer is a way of life not just for use in cases of emergency make it a habit and when the need arises you will be in practice true

prayer should be your way Of life it should be your Lifeline you must trust in its power and in God's timing for change these two go together you cannot refuse to pray while hoping for things to change you pray for things and then trust God's timing for the change to happen that's how you cooperate with God often we Overlook the power of God and only treat it like an emergency hotline we really don't know who we are Talking to but we just want them to help us instantly they are the first person we think about

when there is trouble but we have no idea who they are or what they are capable of most of us just pray for God to help us or to bless us most of the time because of our busy lives prayer is an afterthought but why is prayer so important in fact what is prayer prayer for you the child of God is a way you Communic communicate with God just like how a child talks to and listens to their parent God gave us the blessing of prayer to converse with him similarly just the way your conversation

with your parent depends on many factors your relationship with them how you feel at the time what you are going through what you need and so on it is the same with All God's Children in other words everyone conversation with god is different but none of them are Insignificant God treats them with special attention you see because God understands that communication is the most fundamental aspect of a relationship he invites us to pray at all times hence prayer is a form of communication with God that connects us to him at a personal level that means

the more you give yourself to talking to him in pray prayer the more intimate you will become With him 1 Thessalonians 5:17 says pray continually praying to God is simple you just have to really talk to him in all honesty and sincerity the word of God is clear about how we should pray it tells us to believe the Lord come to him then let him know what is in our hearts it is that straightforward Jeremiah 29:12 then you will call on me and come and pray to me and I will listen to You in another

place in Jeremiah 333 call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know in one of his quotes Hudson Taylor said when you work you work but when you pray God works if You observe all the verses through scripture you see how prayer instantly shifts Focus from you and your situation to God that is because when you pray to God about anything it is no longer you versus that issue but God Versus that issue this video is an encouragement to trust in the power and efficiency of

prayer dear believer is there something you need God for in your life right now what about that issue where you really need a change can God bring a change to your life if you ask him remember Jesus told us that those who ask will receive those who seek will find and those who knock will have the Door opened to them through prayer we can ask because God says we can through prayer we know what God's will is because we pray according to his will through prayer we know that we are not alone and we have

a father who not only hears us but also Delights in answering our prayers someone must be saying but what if I have been praying and it seems that nothing is happening what if I feel like my prayer isn't going Anywhere well if you are a child of God then I have to remind you that you are not to trust your feelings but to walk by faith the Bible says that the just person the believer shall live by faith not by feelings why because feelings are unstable today you may be happy and feel like God is

with you hearing and answering your prayers because everything seems okay and tomorrow if things are not good and you feel bad Because everything is out of hand you think God is not hearing you or answering you our feelings are mostly based on what we think and what is happening in our lives however faith is based only on who God is and what he has said about us 1 Corinthians 2:5 says so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom but on God's power that is what faith is it doesn't rest on our feelings emotions

or the opinions of others but on who God is and What he can do and and God can change things in your life right now you need to trust in the power of prayer and you need to trust that as you pray God will move at the right time yes there is a right time for everything the Bible tells us that God makes everything beautiful in its own time this means that every time is not right for everything the time it would take for a meal to be ready is not the same time it Would

take for a woman to conceive and deliver a child a Meal made ready in time could save a life and a child allowed to mature in the womb would be the source of Joy to the family expecting it both are beautiful things but each must arrive in its own time so that nothing seems to be happening right now even though you are praying shouldn't discourage you if you are a child of God obeying his word serving him and living in Holiness and TR truth Trust his timing for Change and wait your change will come job

said in job 1414 if a man dies shall he live again all the days of my hard service I will wait till my change Comes This was a man who had lost his children and all his possessions in one day his wife wasn't even helping she was asking him to just Curse God and die his friends had all condemned him because according to them no one could be facing such a crisis except if God was Punishing them for a wrongdoing who else could need a change More Than This Man Called job yet job trusted the

Lord for change he didn't just sit down waiting for change to come he didn't just stay still while only believing God no he used that time to keep talking to God God In Prayer if you read through the Book of Job you will notice how job poured out his heart before God he let his frustrations out he asked Questions many times we think that prayer has to follow a special routine and sound very polished this makes it difficult to pray because we are in a tight position however God wants to hear you he said in

Isaiah 41:21 one present your case says the Lord set forth your arguments says Jacob's King God is not saying you should come and rant and then leave the same way he is saying that instead of keeping these things and Letting them build up into grief and pain that drain the life out of you you must trust him enough to share them with him you see each time we pray from our hearts God sees beyond our word words he loves it when we present ourselves vulnerable before him the truth is that he sees us our strengths

and our weaknesses and he proves our humility by waiting to see whether we come in strength or in weakness many believers do not receive Anything from God because they depend so much on themselves they don't pray because they need God no they pray just as an obligation just letting God know what they already made up their minds about however when you come to God in trust you can believe that your prayer is going somewhere you can trust that like seeds your prayers are being planted and at the right time your change will come if you

are weary and Feel like you should give up ask the Lord for strength to keep holding on it may not be easy or pleasant but don't stop praying Don't Stop Believing in the power of prayer Psalm 7526 says my flesh and my heart May Fail but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever in conclusion here are the words of Elizabeth Elliot who said prayer lays hold of God's plan and becomes the link between his will and its accomplishment On Earth and we are given the privilege of being the channels of the

holy spirit's prayer your prayers are not wasted my friend your time has come don't listen to those who say you are wasting your time praying and waiting cut out the distractions and Pray Again the more you pray the more you will rise in the spirit the more you rise in the spirit the more you can obtain those things that God has prepared for you from the beginning Have you ever felt like God is far away like he's not there for you it's okay to feel that way sometimes but let me remind you our faith shouldn't

be based on our feelings the Bible says that the righteous shall live by faith Romans 1:17 and that without faith it is impossible to please God Hebrews 11:6 so even if we don't feel God's presence we can trust that he's with us but there may be times When we struggle To feel God's presence because of the challenges we're facing maybe it's unanswered prayers disappointments illnesses or betrayal however if you're a True Believer of Christ you carry God's presence with you you can't hide it and others see it too your life should be evidence of God's

presence and others should see a visible transformation in you after you become Born Again In the Bible we see that moses' face radiated With God's glory after he spent time in his presence the Israelites couldn't even look at him because of the brightness but we have an even greater privilege than Moses did we have access to God's presence through Jesus and we can experience his glory in our lives sometimes though we may feel like God is far away because of sin in Our Lives David the psalmist experienced this and said when I kept silent about

His sin my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long for day and night your hand was Heavy upon me my strength was sapped as In The Heat Of Summer then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity I said I will confess my transgressions to the Lord and you forgave me the guilt of my sin Psalm 32 3-5 emphasis added confession and repentance open the way for us to experience God's presence again when we carry God's presence within us we become Dependent on Jesus alone for our Salvation we

can't save ourselves but we trust in him to save us let us strive to be true carriers of God's presence so that others may see his glory in our lives in the Bible John 14:6 Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life no one comes to the father except through me wow can you feel the power of those words they are so important because they remind us that Jesus is the only way to Salvation no matter what false prophets or teachers may say we don't need anything else besides Jesus to be saved

it's all about him but here's the thing friends when we truly accept Jesus into our hearts we start to see changes in our lives we start to bear fruit that shows that we are truly living for him Galatians 5: 22 and 23 tells us that the fruit of the spirit is love joy peace patience kindness goodness faithfulness gentleness and Self-control these are the things that we should see in our lives when we grow closer to God and the beautiful thing is that as we spend more time with God we become more like him we start

to see his love and his peace shining through us and that's how we know that we have truly received the Holy Spirit it's not about performing Miracles or preaching to millions of people it's about bearing fruit and showing the world that we are truly living for Jesus but sometimes we can feel like God isn't around maybe we haven't talked to him in a while or we've been avoiding him but friends the amazing thing is that God is always with us he is always ready to listen to us and guide us all we have to do

is confess what's on our hearts and ask him to give us an ear to hear his voice again so today let's remember that Jesus is the only way to Salvation And as we grow closer to him we will see his fruit in our lives let's spend time with God every day and let him transform us into His Image as we grow in our walk with God we may find ourselves struggling with joy kindness and other aspects of our character that do not reflect God's nature but fear not we can always pray and ask God to

help us in these areas the Holy Spirit Works in our lives to transform us from our old selves the Ones who were once enslaved to [Music] sin through this transformation we can now possess the fruits of the spirit and reflect God's character it's important to remember that carrying God's presence means avoiding Unholy places because God is is Holy and we cannot engage in unholiness and still expect to carry his presence with us in 1 Peter 1 14-16 we are reminded to be holy in all of our conduct just as God is Holy we are ordinary

Christians but filled with the fire of the Holy Spirit we can make all the difference in the world the Holy Spirit transforms our hearts hearts and helps us live righteous lives that please God we cannot do it on our own but with God's help all things are possible when we are transformed by the Holy Spirit we become New Creations and our Behavior changes to reflect this Transformation the world believes in self-improvement but the Holy Spirit takes us a step further by turning us into completely new beings when others see this change in US it can

be a powerful witness of the transformational power of God we must also remember that the promises of God apply to all of us in the family of God not just to ourselves we must walk with love and humility knowing that we are all Chosen And loved by God as we continue to exhibit the fruit of the spirit we will continue to carry God's presence with us remember brothers and sisters the greatest expression of God to humanity is love Let Us carry his presence with us always and let his love shine through us to a world

in need do you ever find yourself struggling to love those around you maybe it's your family your neighbors or even your fellow Christians from Different denominations it's not always easy to show love to others but as Christians it's so important that we do I know firsthand how easy it can be for Christians to Feud with each other over trivial things and it breaks my heart to see it's important that we come together in love and unity remembering that we all serve the same God we should never let our differences get in the way of our

love for one another and we should Never twist the word of God to suit our own agendas and spread hate speaking of the word of God did you know that carrying God's presence in your life can bring forth an incredible joy that transcends all the troubles and challenges of this world it's true but it also means that we will face spiritual warfare in our lives if we're not experiencing any spiritual warfare it may be because we're not carrying the presence of God and advancing his Kingdom but if we are we need to Be watchful against

the enemy and actively resist any attacks that come against us now let's talk about what it means to be anointed an anointed person has a deep hunger for God's word and a desire to know him more they soak in God's presence through worship and have a powerful sense of God's call on their lives they know that they are a missionary called to lead people to Christ in a particular Mission field Christians we have all been entrusted with unique gifts that we can use to serve God and edify the church it's important to know what your

gifts are so you can use them to their fullest potential one gift that all anointed Christians have is discernment this is the ability to sense the truth and distinguish between right and wrong it's like having a still Small Voice Within you that warns you of danger and helps you find the right Words to encourage someone peace is also a distinguishing factor for Christians in a world full of fear and instability we can rely on the peace of God to guide us we don't have to be afraid of economic instability or political unrest because we trust

in God's sovereignty humility is another important trait for anointed Christians it's important to recognize that we are not perfect and that we need Correction and rebuke from other believers we should be willing to repent from our sins and change for God's glory anointed Christians are also teachable they are open-minded and willing to learn from others even if they have been walking with God for many years it's important to remain teachable so that we can continue to grow in our faith and knowledge of God lastly patience is key when ministering to others we will be dealing

with imperfect People who need guidance and support it's important to be patient and longsuffering just as God is patient with us remember when you carry the presence of God you can walk through the fire without being burned God's presence will not lead you away from danger but it will lead you through it unscathed as 2 Corinthians 3117 and 18 says now the Lord is the spirit and where the spirit Spirit of the Lord is There is freedom and we all who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord's Glory are being transformed into his image with ever

increasing Glory which comes from the Lord who is the spirit so go out and use your spiritual gifts to minister to others trust in God's presence and let him guide you as you serve his people so let's love one another care carry God's presence in our lives and be anointed for the work God has called us To do as it says in Psalm 1331 how good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity have you ever tried moving a large object from one place to another by yourself how difficult was it in

contrast to being assisted by more people weights are heavier when we bear them alone and lighter when we have support however there are weights in this life that nobody can bear for you you can only bear them for yourself no One can grow develop or age for you no one can live or account for your life for you your life challenges may not be new but they are specific to you if you don't face them and deal with them no one can do so for you no one can become a Believer on your behalf to

save your soul biologically a woman experiences a cycle every month with these Cycles comes physical changes for her it's a biological fact that cannot be changed no matter how much you love her or how Intimate you are with her you can never carry this burden for her this is true of many other areas of life there are weights you cannot carry by yourself and there are weights that no one can carry for you and our lives are filled with these kinds of Weights some of us are carrying weights of financial responsibilities and needs some are

carrying weights of family crisis an unloving partner a problematic child or sibling a job crisis or health Issues The Book of Job rightly said that one of the major Elements of Life is that Humanity faces trouble from the day of our birth until the day we leave the world in death job 5 6-7 for hardships does not spring from the soil nor does trouble Sprout from the ground yet man is born to trouble as surely as Sparks Fly upward every person you know or see on the street regardless of how they look Are carrying a

burden right now about to start carrying one or just finishing with one burden in their life you may fall into one of these categories today as you listen to this message whichever one you may be experiencing I want you to know that just like I mentioned at the beginning of this video weights are lighter when born by many rather than by one Ecclesiastes 4 9-12 two are better than one because They have a good return for their labor if either of them falls down one can help the other up but pity anyone who falls and

has no one to help them up also if two lie down together they will keep warm but how can one keep warm alone though one may be overpowered two can defend themselves a cord of three strands is not quickly broken there is no doubt that you are carrying so much weight right now and it may seem this is one of those weights no One can carry for you or perhaps you're struggling to trust anyone to help you and you are dealing with it all by yourself God is sending you a message through this video to

stop trying to do those things on your own this can be a difficult thing to do especially if you have been betrayed or denied help by those you trusted some of us have grown over the years to trust only ourselves with our issues maybe once we tried to accept the help and They abuse the opportunity became too familiar and broke your trust when we needed them the most or they just plain failed us hence we learn to depend only on ourselves even if it meant carrying weights twice as much as we could carry you may

not know this but many people you see who like to do things themselves aren't truly happy about it they would love to find relief too they want to sit back and see things happen but because they're afraid of trusting another Person for many reasons they take the burdens upon themselves the downside of this is that they end up carrying burdens that were meant for more than one person you may be a pastor a leader in an organization or just a respectable member of your family who wants to see things done God is using this video

to tell you that doing everything on your own is cutting your life short Moment by moment you're taking more than you were meant to Handle another problem with this is that it leads us further and further away from trusting God and into depending on ourselves here is why many of us are very impatient with God we want it done our way and we'd want it done now the Bible warns us about this way of life in Proverbs 35-8 trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding in all your

ways submit to Him and he will make your paths straight do not be wise in your own eyes fear the lord and shun evil this will bring Health to your body and nourishment to your bones can you see how a change from this path can affect not only your results but also your health and body God has not saved and rescued us so that we will start doing everything on our own does this mean that we shouldn't be responsible and should just leave it to God no God didn't call us to laziness however he wants

us to trust him with our hearts and lean on him for understanding and wisdom I am not going to lie to you there are many things you can give yourself apart from God but none of them will bring you life there are many Pleasures you can achieve without God in this world but the truth is that all of them will be at the expense of your soul in eternity anything apart from God is Weird reome and destructive and will result in death but God is life he invites you to lay your needs and burdens before

him because he cares for you 1 Peter 5-7 casting all your cares all your anxieties all your worries and all your concerns once and for all on him for he cares about you with deepest affection and watches over you very carefully I love this verse so much it highlights everything we are most inclined to deal With on our own anxieties worries and concerns you may not know this but each time you allow your challenges to hit you so hard that you begin to worry and get anxious or panicky about them you are dealing with them

on your own in our eyes our problems are mountains too high to climb valleys too dark to go through and oceans too deep to swim but with the Lord hallelujah they are nothing when the entire Army of Israel confronted the philistin Army one giant Soldier Terrified them because they stood by their own strength but then one teenager stood with God he brought down the same giant that crippled the entire Army when Israel went to war against the nation on their own strength even though the nation was smaller they overcame the Israelites but when they went

with God he gave them Victory it is no wonder that Paul wrote If God be for us who can be against us in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that Loved us the Assurance of your access to God is in the fact that he loves and cares deeply about you that's what Peter was saying in 1 Peter 5-7 when you care about someone you want to be part of their struggles and their victories it Grieves the Lord when we try to do things on our own when we treat God like he's

not there for us or like he's not there at all we limit his involvement in our lives but when we commit our needs to him and depend on Him for wisdom and victory we can't lose maybe you're listening to me while at a crossroad in your life right now not knowing what to do perhaps you don't even know where to start with trusting God because you have stayed by yourself for so long or perhaps you're at your Wit's End not not knowing what to do because the weight is just too much so far you've been

carrying it all so far you've been doing your best to keep it together God wants me to tell you peace His presence is the place of rest when we believe him enough to trust him to help us he gives us rest from our weariness what did Jesus say in Matthew 11 28-30 come come to me all you who labor and are heavy laden and overburdened and I will cause you to rest I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls take my yoke upon you and learn of me for I am gentle and humble in

heart and you will find rest for your souls for my yoke is Wholesome and my burden is light and easy to be born You Are Not Alone dear child of God your heavenly father wants to help you if you will make that decision today to trust him and stop living like you're on your own if you need wisdom he offers wisdom if you need Grace and strength to overcome a struggle he is sufficient if you need relief from toiling and bending under the weight of too many Responsibilities he is the great provider and peacegiver you

can trust him you don't need to say much you just have to believe him enough to tell him you want him to take over take it to God In Prayer we have few answers because we do not ask we have few answers because we do not believe if you can dare to trust God you will see his hand in your life will you make the decision today you have tried it on your own look how far you've come now you can give him a Chance to show you how far he can take those who genuinely

follow him being a child of God means being a Believer it means being willing to let go so that God can take over your life it's time to stop trying to do things on your own it's time to start letting God work through you and help you reach the heights of his plans for your life have you read the papers do you hear what they say rising fears of War diseases pandemics and unexplainable Occurrences plague the world daily we all seem to have an idea of what spiritual attacks look like from books docu dentaries and

movies everyone has a graphic image of how a spiritual attack should occur however these occurrences in reality are quite different and not as dramatic as the movies and books make them seem in fact many times people go through spiritual attacks and there's no physical manifestation of it just like being slowly taken away from them in the Year 2020 the whole world was brought to its knees by the virus and while everyone turned to Medicine and science for an explanation and solution the wise ones like you and I who know the implications of this plague turn

to God many of the solutions brought by men have failed and continue to fail because just like the ignorant men of old they have gone to look for the solution in their knowledge you have to understand clearly the origin of a problem to be Able to profer solutions for it many people are still oblivious or just outrightly in denial of the fact that the wars disease pandemics and global economic structure collapse are a physical representation of the attacks being launched On The World by the devil and his agents how do I know that on the

Israelites Journey to the promised land They Came Upon a strong city called Jericho this city was walled and fortified and impregnable to any army But they realized that this battle was beyond them and they turned to God and the Bible records in the Book of Joshua 5:20 when the trumpet sounded the Army shouted and at the sound of the trumpet when the men gave a loud shout the wall collapsed so everyone charged straight in and they took the city the Battle of Jericho was fought in the spiritual realm hear me child of God whatever attacks

that have represented itself in the physical form in your life Are a result of something done in the spiritual realm to Target that aspect of your life the spiritual realm is superior to the Physical Realm in the sequence of events just like you pray for a result that you have not seen the same way Wars are waged in the spiritual realm and fought in the physical reality so as Christians while the rest of the world keeps looking for answers and explanations to the economic security environmental and health Challenges so as Christians while the rest of

the world keeps looking for answers and explanations to the economic security environmental and health challenges and Wars plaguing it we must know these two facts a battle is fought first in the spirit realm as we have earlier talked about in the story of Jericho and how the war was fought one and lost in the spiritual realm in the Bible the Kings of Israel went to check the outcome of Wars with prophets and spiritual mediums before they went to war they could see the end of a war that had not been fought yet all the attacks

on the world now were first started in the realm of the spirit Spirit the solutions and counter measures must also be in the realm of the spirit it's laughable when men resort to human theories to explain and solve spiritual problems and attacks hence in Our present time vaccines have been failing and more doses are constantly being required 2 Corinthians 10 verse4 says the weapons of our Warfare are not physical weapons of of Flesh and Blood our weapons are divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses if we are fighting against spiritual forces then we need to

resist them in the spiritual realm also the world is going through the implications of things done In the realm of the spirits and yet the people in it are waiting for humans to develop solutions to problems they cannot explain the Bible passage we just read from Corinthians clearly states that our weapons are not of the flesh the solutions that the world needs are not going to come in the flesh the weapons of the flesh have failed and there will be more failures at the expense of humanity if we do not rise up and begin To

take charge in the spirit realm the ravaging of the world and its systems would continue until a group of people of God Rises up the challenge of the people of the world is the fact that we have constantly and consciously ignored the warnings of God about these attacks from the days of the Bible the last days have been predicted and God had spoken in no clearer terms about these attacks in 2 Timothy 3:1 the Bible says you should know this Timothy that in the last days there will be very difficult times and throughout the Book

of Revelations you will find the account of how these attacks would be when you ju oppose These Warnings these signs and the current unexplainable occurrences in our world you will agree that the world needs spiritual antidotes and defenses to these ailments and attacks it faces all over but then people must Rise listen to me child of God the world is going through the devastation that will ruin it except a group of us decide to rise we have agreed that these attacks are spiritual have also agreed that our countermeasures must be spiritual but all this knowledge

goes to waste unless a group of us decides to rise and stand in the place of spiritual reconfiguration of the world it is time To fight back yes it's time to fight back the scariest thing in life is the fear of the unknown what you do not know will scare you the most the reason why a dark room becomes scary to you is that you do not know what is inside the darkness immediately you introduce light into that room your whole fear will dissipate until you decide to use the only weapon available to you in

that Battle with the darkness and your fears you will continue to be scared of the room until you decide to flick that light switch on you are going to lose the battle to that darkness and run out of the room in fear you fight Darkness with light the resistance against the attacks on the world is only going to be made possible with an aggressive offense of light darkness is upon the face of the Earth and light is required hear me child of God this generation is not Peculiar for attacks we are not the first inhabitants

of the earth and we are not the first to have these many attacks history has it in archives for me to read about but one thing that is peculiar to every time the world faces this darkness and attacks is that people Rose and fought back in the spiritual Realms and many revivals were birthed on the premises of such things what do we need to do as we rise up against these forces Only a poor army goes into a battle without strategies there are guidelines from the birth of Revival one of them is we must be

humble and return back to God 2 Chronicles 7:14 says if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their Wicked Ways then I will hear from heaven and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land humility to go back to God as a generation and tell him we have done enough damage on our own help us is required as we raise up the standard of God against the enemies the world will continue to face these battles until we realize our Collective inadequacies

and our Collective need for God the children of Israel were helped greatly by God in their Journey to the Promised Land but somewhere in that Journey they lost their focus on God and followed after other gods the Bible records how God Turned away from them and Israel was ravaged by Wars plundered and destroyed until they went back to God we must dump all our knowledge and human armor the book of Ephesians chapter 6:13 says therefore put on the complete Armor of God so that you will be able to successfully resist and stand your ground in

the evil day of danger and having done everything that the crisis demands to stand firm in your place fully prepared immovable Victorious Humanity must bring itself under the rule of God and realize that in ourselves we know nothing and by ourselves we are nothing the arms of Flesh will fail continuously until we come to the acceptance that we need God to fight for us instead We are failing in protecting the world because we have refused to let go of our understanding and insist on fighting spiritual battles with physical tactics the Bible speaks about contending With

the Enemy at the Gate contentions have to do with struggle in a struggle for control we cannot remain on the defense we must rise up and begin to fight back we know what it takes we know who it takes we know who is Behind These incessant ravaging of the world systems and God has assured us of his unwavering support for us in the face of the battles only if we will bring ourselves under his will the journey to spiritual dominance in the world must be fought on The front foot enough of defense and taking casualties

it is time to begin to start taking the fight to the enemies listen to me over the years he has done a lot of work and overtime ravage the Earth and claim territories we must begin to push the fight to reclaim these territories that he has claimed a lot of us are unaware of God's love for us and continually we're filled with guilt shame and self-pity about how we don't deserve God's love and forgiveness because we've made mistakes in life yes indeed we don't deserve it but God so deeply loves us that he made Provisions

for us provisions of his grace his Everlasting Love and his forgiveness yes you read that right God loves you so much that he invested so much of his resources on you and God isn't tired of you neither is he giving up on you Lamentations 3 20-23 I well remember them and my soul Is downcast within me yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed for his compassions never fail they're new every morning great is your faithfulness there are a lot of people who

still feel trapped in their own sin and shame but let this message bring hope to you this message is for those those who enter the church on Sundays with a heavy heart during the worship Session feeling unworthy to approach God because of their failures and making promises to God to do better this time promises that they know they can't keep this message is for those who are struggling to understand how God could still love them even when they keep asking for forgiveness repeatedly the enemy Satan is called the accuser and he would like to deceive

you to let that one mistake cause you to feel badly about yourself and how God Sees you falling down is an accident staying down is a choice if you go around wearing negative labels like addicted failed compromised or divorced it'll keep you away from running towards God and ultimately missing what God has in store for you second Peter 13 says his divine power has given us everything we need for a Godly life through our knowledge of him who called Us by his own glory and goodness so your identification with God is a call and not

just any call but a glorious call not a call to shame or sin it's not just being a child of Destiny you have a glorious Destiny God created a beautiful destiny for each of us and nothing can stop God's plan for our lives not that single mistake or five for some people or even 10,000 mistakes for others you may have failed but you're Not a failure don't allow that sin to Define who you are when God looks at you he doesn't see a sinner what God sees is his child who needs to realize his or

her mistakes accept the provisions the father has put in place and come back to him trust me God is waiting to receive you any time with open arms even right now the story of the prodigal son and his father confirms This what do you do when you found yourself confronted with reality of sin in your life more specifically what is a healthy way to repent and move forward before I approach any kind of steps to take I want to address what the Bible says sin is and why sin in our lives lives is bad it's

helped me in my life to understand why something is a sin rather than just hearing that's a sin don't do it sin as defined in the original Translations of the Bible means to miss the mark the mark in this context refers to the standard of perfection according to God's word and this is exemplified in the nature and character of Jesus it's clear that we have at one point in our lives sinned against God the Bible says in Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God when thinking about Sin it's

important to remember that first and Foremost sin is an offense against God because it goes against his very nature of perfection and Holiness for example lying is a sin because God cannot lie secondly sin violates yourself because sin is morally wrong and brings destruction ultimately sin separates us from God in sin we lose our God ordained glorious Destiny sin brings death to our inward life and eventually brings Eternal death to our souls that means that the only thing That sin brings into our lives is death whether that be emotional mental or physical Romans 6:23 for

the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Christ Jesus our lord it also harms others all sin even so-called private sin harms others indirectly maybe not at that exact moment but in the future you see sin wasn't in our world from the beginning it wasn't part of God's blueprint when he formed our world in the beginning in Genesis God in his perfect wisdom created everything including the first couple Adam and Eve the Bible would further tell us that everything God created was beautiful and perfect you might be

wondering if God's wisdom is so perfect during the creation process then how did Sin come into the world and why am I being punished and tagged a sinner God so loved Adam and Eve that he Gave them to rule over everything in the garden and on Earth but he specifically instructed them not to eat of a particular tree Genesis 2:17 but you must not eat from the Tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil for when you eat from it you will certainly die you see our God is a loving God that He gave Adam

and Eve free will The Power of Choice he didn't create slaves or robots he made people and he wanted them To see and love him by themselves without being made or forced to do so when the evil one came he tested Eve and deceived her with lies turning her heart away from what God commanded her not to do disobeying God Eve ate from the tree and so did Adam at that exact moment sin was born life itself lost its meaning Adam and Eve lost their rightful position with God they lost their glory and they ultimately

lost their way this this was the death God had meant Earlier even so God's love still prevailed and he had another plan to make things perfect again therefore he sent his only son Jesus Christ into the world to redeem us and reconcile us with himself one more time what a wonderful love what a brilliant plan what a sacrifice he made this was and Still Remains the ultimate Divine invest on mankind that whosoever would believe in and turn to Jesus will be saved and become a member of God's Family given eternal life with the hope of

Eternity in Heaven someday now having seen what sin is and how it affected God's creation I hope you can see that sin has been doing great damage and will continue to do damage anywhere it's allowed to have its way however with that there is hope for those who will sincerely turn to God and seek his love Temptations will come to all people and sometimes some of us might fall into It however let me share with you what makes the difference between those who are walking in God's mercy and power from those who aren't how to

Rise Up from your sins and draw closer to God one of the hardest mindsets to break is the one you bear when you know you're living in sin the Bible says that when that happens the deceiver that is the Accuser or Satan brings words of condemnation like oh man you did it Again you're no good you'll never measure up to any good this thought process is called condemnation and it's not okay condemnation makes you think that you can earn forgiveness by beating yourself up and putting yourself on probation for a few days we often feel

that our sin is too great for God to forgive please understand that condemnation is not from God how however conviction is conviction sheds light on our sin Helps us feel truly sorry and points us to our Savior 2 Corinthians 7:10 Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to Salvation and leaves no regret but worldly sorrow brings death so first you need to repent accept God's forgiveness and believe you're truly forgiven please understand that when God forgives you he forgives your sins entirely and forgets all your sins most times it's easier to forgive Others than forgiving yourselves

but you must understand this is the only way you can move forward into your better season and into a new chapter true repentance is more than acknowledging sin it's turning away from sin and running back to God it's not simply saying Lord I repent while you're still seeking sin out to desire to continue in sin shows a misunderstanding of this abundant grace God's provisions and investment for us And contempt for Jesus's sacrifice Paul wrote in Romans 6 1:2 what shall we say then shall we go on sinning so that Grace may increase by no means

we are those who have died to sin how can we live in it any longer if you find that your desires are sinful pray Lord create clean and pure Desires in me take out these sinful Desires in my heart be honest with yourself you won't get past sinful desires if you don't admit they're there God wants you To be free from all your obsessions and uncontrollable wrong desires he wants to free you from a guilty conscience what are the steps to repentance acknowledge your sin to God and ask him to forgive you make a commitment

in your heart to turn away from that sin find a trustworthy mature Christian friend or Pastor that you can talk To accept God's forgiveness and realize you're forgiven in God's eyes When sin is in the darkness or secret it thrives but when you confess your sins or shed light on them by talking with someone mature about it it helps helps nullify the power of shame I believe the final step of accepting Christ's forgiveness is crucial to your commitment to turn from sin this is the act of accepting that we are a new creation because of

Jesus's Sacrifice on the cross stop allowing anyone to label you with negativity not even yourself the moment you turn away from sin and choose to repent in that instant you become a new man if you believe the lies of the Accuser it'll keep you away from your destiny the only one who can stop you is you if you have fallen into sin this also applies to you dust yourself off and remind yourself that you're a Christian a child of God a holy individual you are better than this and you don't belong here and then you

walk away from it without looking back when I'm accepting God's forgiveness I speak out loud in a prayer an example might be Lord I accept your forgiveness and believe that I am made righteous in your sight thank you Jesus for forgiving me amen the Christian life is all about glorifying in loving God thereby Enjoying being with him it's not supposed to be about trying not to sin I'm not trying to lessen the seriousness of sin but I am trying to magnify the importance of the pursuit of enjoyment a relationship with God when you enjoy being

with God you obey him consistently because it's based on love and love spontaneously produces a powerful form of obedience friend God's resources are a privilege for those who come to God our God ordained glorious Destiny is only available to those who confess their sins and return to God do that right now is waiting for you don't die in your sins you need to stop accepting every gift from people not everyone is sent from God nor has good intentions toward you in Proverbs 23 6-7 the Bible warns us against taking things from people whose hearts are

not with us even when it seems they are do not eat the bread of him who has an evil eye neither Desire his Delicacies for as he think thinks in his heart so is he eat and drink he says to you but his heart is not with you I hate to break it to you but not everyone in your life means you well and not everyone in your life is sent from God some people are sent from the devil just like the thoughts of God concerning you are thoughts of good the thoughts of the devil

concerning you are of evil just as when God sends people into your Life when he wants to bless you when the devil wants to destroy you he also so sends people into your life the difference between those sent by God and those sent by the devil is those sent by God commit themselves to lifting you up while those sent by the devil want to bring you down this isn't to make you suspicious of everybody around you but as children of God we are enjoined with God to always be on our guard Spiritually this is where

the power of discernment comes in sadly many Christians don't know what discernment is or or how it works you see every day you'll meet and interact with different categories of men and women some are in your workplace Neighborhood Church school and any other place you carry out your business some of these people you'll meet by chance others will be a direct contact however you need to realize that there is a Supernatural activity behind any encounter you make with people who come into your life no one comes into your life by mistake either God brings them

or the enemy does hence through discernment the Holy Spirit helps you connect with those who have the right motive concerning you and stay on your guard with those whose intentions aren't pure the power of discernment is a gift every child of God needs to ask for and develop in his or her life the Bible Asks us to test all Spirits without exemption 1 John 4:1 beloved do not believe every spirit but test the spirits to see whether they're from God because many false prophets have gone out into the world remember that the Books of John

were built around love and diligently reflecting Christ's affection on those around us however it takes a moment to straighten things out don't assume that everyone's nice because they smile at you or give you gifts don't Assume that their motives are right because they express kindness to you one of the reasons we tell children not to take gifts from Strang ERS is because they could be lured away and Anything could happen to them however this warning should be adhered to by all believers for our own good the fact that a man or woman Smiles at you

doesn't mean they wish you well sometimes you need to know why the Bible said that the heart of man is desperately deceitful And wicked God didn't make a mistake to say that he knew what he was saying Jeremiah 179 the heart is deceitful Above All Things and Beyond cure who can understand it let me give you an example when you trust God and work hard at your workplace God will favor you in the eyes of your employers and you'll be promoted sometimes God's promotion can come in the form of you leaving that organization either to

start your own Successful business or to join a better organization however right there among your colleagues there will be a few who envy your progress some may even feel like they deserved your promotion more than you some may feel like you're going to start acting bossy all over them when you were just recently promoted you two may share lunch together hang out from time to time exchange favors and so on however you must trust God to help you discern and protect you from whatever Evil such a person may develop against you why is this an

issue Judas es scariot is a perfect example of how a person can open up their heart for the devil to occupy and make them do so something they never imagined they do remember that after betraying Jesus Judas came back to the Pharisees in remorse he tried to return the money they paid him to betray Jesus and they refused to take it then he threw the money and went out to hang himself I Know someone was meant to betray Jesus in order to fulfill the prophecy however there was no name on that prophecy it could have

been anyone Judas made himself the right candidate because he opened up his heart to the devil then the Bible says and Satan HED Him Luke 22 2-6 and the chief priests and the teachers of the law were looking for some way to get rid of Jesus for they were afraid of the people then Satan entered Judas called a scariot one of The 12 and Judas went to the chief priests and the officers of the temple guard and discussed with them how he might betray Jesus they were delighted and agreed to give him money he consented

and waited for an opportunity to hand Jesus over to them when no crowd was present they couldn't find a way to get Jesus so what' they do they waited for an opportunity and they got it when someone in his inner circle made himself Available just like Judas you can't always tell why people may not wish you well and you don't need the answer to that question you also don't have to offend anyone for them to submit themselves to the devil's tools against you what you need to do is walk in love but be on your

guard at all times 1 Peter 58 be alert and sober of mind your enemy the devil prows around like a roaring lion looking for someone to Devour one of the ways Satan can damage your life is through gifts I know that everyone loves a gift especially when the gift comes from someone you respect or who meets a desire in your life however you must look beyond your emotions and walk in the spirit where is this gift coming from is it a place of Love or is there a string attached to take more from me have

you seen how fishermen use baits and hooks to lure fish out of the water without the bait The fish wouldn't go near the hook however the bait covers the hook and keeps the fish from seeing the tiny string in sharp metal behind the sweet bait when the fish comes close and eats it that's the end some GI gifts that will come into your life may look like free gifts but many of them are baits my pastor used to tell us you can't eat a man's Delicacies and refuse his request some innocent people have become Accomplices

to crimes they never committed simply because they accepted a gift from a criminal they shouldn't have some young people have subjected themselves to an abusive relationship because their abusers lured them in with good gifts which unknown to them were the devil's baits you are not going to be a victim of the devil's baits in jesus' name now how can you identify and stay on your guard against gifts sent by the Devil one walk in love I must establish this first you see always being on your guard doesn't mean you shouldn't walk in love towards others

that you can't or won't take things from just anybody doesn't mean you stop loving them our Command from God is to love our neighbors and show kindness even to those who hurt us however another benefit of loveing kindness is that it keeps your conscience clear but they become a Weapon God uses to step in and fight for you Proverbs 25 21-22 says if your enemy is hungry give him food to eat if he is thirsty give him water to drink in doing this you will Heap burning coals on his head and the Lord will reward

you this is the the power of love being used by God to torment and keep anyone with bad intentions away from you its greatest benefit is that it keeps your conscience clear from any form of accusations by the Devil then when you go to pray about an opposition God will not see greed in your heart but genuine love two pray consistently prayer is the Christian's powerhouse it's said that a prayerful Christian is a powerful Christian and a prayerless Christian is a powerless one do you remember that I talked about the spirit of discernment earlier you're

more likely to grow in spiritual sensitivity when you're a prayerful Believer than when you're one who doesn't pray you can't keep sleeping and eating while your spirit is growing lean and then expect it to be sensitive to the dangers around you you need to build yourself up through prayer and fasting let God see you walking in love and declaring your dependent on him through your prayerfulness this will draw him into your situation and keep you from falling Into the snare of the wicked one against you when you let God fight for you he will expose

the evil intentions of those around you and also keep you from falling into their hands three develop self-control know when and how to say no stop saying yes to everything and to everyone as you test all Spirits learn to walk away from free things and from greed yes gifts are great but if you can't control your desires for gifts You'll become prey to the devil self-control is one of the fruits of the spirit if you learn to trust God to meet your needs rather than looking to people you're less likely to be the victim of

the enemy's gifts these three keys will help you develop a safer place for yourself in life learn to appreciate the little things around you as gifts from your heavenly father as you keep trusting him and thanking him in advance for the ones Yet to come I hope this video has blessed you today should everyone be aware of what you are up to is it the wisest thing to always tell people what is going on in your life or your plans for the future in this video I will share a few major reasons you should never

be Hasty about telling anyone what you are up to the internet and social media have instilled and revealed the weakness in almost everyone for social attention it has Exposed the Deep need within many of us for attention and validation it has revealed not only our need but also our pride I have seen social media posts from years ago being used to Blackmail and cause controversy for people today I have seen people reveal things about themselves that were later used against them this is not the only issue at hand today as much as social media and

Technology have facilitated and continued to facilitate so many good Things their abuse is still very much a problem as a child of God and as one who must grow in wisdom it is important you know that you will be on the safer side the better side and the winning side if you let people know very little about you the Bible tells us to love all people and to make sure we do not owe people anything the only debt we must keep paying is the debt of Love Romans chap 13 14:8 says let no debt remain

outstanding except the continuing debt To love one another for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law by walking in love we demonstrate that indeed we are children of God love is a mark of our Union with God it shows we know and love God when we love those Made In His Image permit me to correct a little thing we believe about love the Apostle Paul highlighted that it was possible for a person to give their life with without love this means that I could go as far as laying my life down for many Things other

than love false convictions fear cowardice frustration selfish Ambitions pride and so on the world may celebrate someone today for being a hero or a martyr but in God's eyes that individual may have simply died for themselves not for others they have done it in a way that looks like they did it for others but in truth they did it for themselves 1 Corinthians chap 13:3 says if I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body I could Boast about it but if I didn't love others I would have gained nothing genuine

love is pure and selfless among many other things but love is not approval of all things that you love people does not mean everything goes that you love everyone does not mean you accept everything they do love is many things but approving of everything especially of things that do not honor God even if they appear harmless is not one of them Jesus told us that love is Going as far as laying down your life for your friend and 1 Corinthians 13 tells us the attributes of Love 1 Corinthians 13: 4-7 love is patient love is

kind it does not envy it does not boast it is not proud it does not dishonor others it is not self-seeking it is not easily angered it keeps no record of wrongs love does not Delight in evil but rejoices with the truth it always protects always trusts always hopes Always perseveres love may tolerate and forbid but that doesn't mean it approves love may share to meet your needs but love will not Empower you to do evil or get into trouble yourself why did I have to digress and talk about love because many times we fall

into the deception that as children of love we must be an open book but that is not the truth it is important that you a child of God learn to walk in the wisdom of God by the Holy Spirit and the truth of Scripture Proverbs 4: 20-22 says my child pay attention to what I say listen carefully to my words don't lose sight of them let them penetrate deep into your heart for they bring life to those who find them and healing to their whole body God wants you to learn this truth today never tell

anyone what you are up to you must watch those who share your next plan of action with not everyone is on your side not everyone sees things the way you see them not everyone Carries your convictions and definitely not everyone cares about you like you may think Micah chapter 5:7 strictly warns us in this regard do not trust a neighbor put no confidence in a friend even with the woman who lies in your Embrace guard the words of your lips there is only one you must put your confidence in and that one person is God

not only is he the safest place to share your plans he's also the most capable person because he has the power to help You see those plans through to the end here are five important reasons why you should never tell anyone what you are up to number one your visions and plans are personal before they are public the Bible tells us in habac 2: 1-3 I will stand at my watch and station myself on from the ramparts I will look to see what he will say to me and what answer I am to give to

this complaint then the Lord replied write down the Revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a Herald May run with it for the Revelation awaits an appointed time it speaks of the end and will not prove false though it linger wait for it it will certainly come and will not delay observe how the prophet habac progresses with this text first he goes somewhere to be alone to hear God then God answers him and tells him to write the message down clearly first for himself then for the one who would read and run with

it you are the first person to receive and Understand what God wants in your life Joseph's brothers did not understand or know what he was talking about and they hated and wanted to kill him for it even though it was valid I believe that Joseph learned the hard way to keep his Visions to himself until they were Rock Solid and completely understood the this is what the prophet habac was talking about you must be selective about those you bring on board your plans or else you are setting yourself up for failure Now you can share

your plans or things you don't understand with more experienced and God-fearing people around you so that you may benefit from their wisdom however this must be done after you have prayed about it felt God's guidance to share and then organize yourself to ask only in the area you need Clarity not revealing everything you have in mind remember not everyone will understand what God is telling you and that is okay If it aligns with the faith and truth of his word so for both your sake and theirs don't tell everyone all the details of what you

are up to number two some of the people around you do not have your best interests at heart and may stop you you may not believe this but time and opportunity will reveal that many of the people around you do not have your best interests at at heart let me say this again but more explicitly some people are planted in Your life by the devil or are being manipulated by the devil to bring you down if you have been following our previous videos you may have heard me say this you must ask God to open

your eyes to the people he has planted in your life and those the enemy has planted this way you will know whom to be wary of and whom to be open to I have seen so-called friends sabotage their friends projects out of spite I have seen loved ones ruining their siblings Relationship because they couldn't bear to see them finding love and happiness before them many are jealous frustrated or just plain spiteful telling such a person what you are up to is setting yourself up to fail you must never fall into that trap no matter how

much you love them number three many don't believe in you and will anticipate failure for you another reason why you must be careful who you share your next plan of action with is is that some of The people you may decide to tell do not believe in you they may love and care about you but they do not see you the way God sees you or the potential you believe you have these are the kinds of people who only cheer for and identify with you only when you win while you are building they will anticipate

your failure and expect to hear of your downfall you must trust the Lord to help you point out these kinds of people and avoid them you need people in your life Who will believe in you and cheer you on to Wi in no matter how many times you may fail along the way number four many will discourage you from moving forward you should not always tell anyone what you are up to because many people around you will only discourage you sometimes people like this don't necessarily hate you perhaps they just fear to see you fail

or perhaps they may believe in you and know that you may succeed but your success will affect your relationship With them hence for their own selfish reasons they keep you in the same spot for years doing everything they can to keep you from moving on Jesus had to rebuke Peter because Peter thought he was doing something good by telling Jesus not to die on the cross little did he know that the death of Jesus would be the ultimate salvation of humanity he did not know that he was standing in the way of that happening by

trying to discourage Jesus number five last but not least many do not care what you are up to and will therefore not give you any support sometimes one of the reasons many of us share our plans with others is to find support We crave prayers encouragement and support support tells us we are not alone it tells us that we are surrounded by people who believe in our idea it boosts our morale and inspires us however you must make sure that those surrounding you actually care Enough to support you until you can verify that people care

about you you must never tell anyone what you are up to as you mature you will learn that not everyone loves or cares about you many people only care about themselves and how they can benefit from you this is why genuine friendships are hard to come by if you do not find one consider yourself blessed and hold on to them it is my prayer that God will grant you wisdom and separate you from people who Do not have your best interests at heart and those who are not in his plans for your life if God

would open your spiritual eyes to see the things going on in the world and in the lives of many people it would Amaze you to see the kind of world and situation we are in the psalmist said something in Psalms 74: 20 remember your Covenant promises for the dark regions of the Earth are full of places where violence rules where on Earth Would you say are the dark regions being talked about here are they literal geographical locations or symbols of certain spiritual Mysteries and forces that influence the physical in another Psalms 91: 5-6 says you

will not fear the terror of night nor the arrow that flies by day nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness nor the plague that destroys at midday what are the Terrors of night the arrows that fly by day the pestilence that Stalks in the darkness and the plague that destroys at midday who is responsible for these things why are they so free to carry out their activities without restraint we are in a world filled with darkness and under heavy influence from the spiritual realm to live like everyone else or to live without considering these

things is to live like a careless prey in the wild you can become a victim Anytime many people you see walking the streets every day are under heavy satanic strongholds that the nature eye cannot see or comprehend just as God is busy working good things in the lives of his children saving Souls giving life setting people free and everything else the devil is also going about enslaving people breaking up families deceiving robbing people of their positions in Christ and destroying don't think that the Earth or The world is a safe place because it isn't just

like the spiritual realm the physical plane is a war zone our lives here are reflections of what's going on in the background that is in the spirit this means that whatever is happening to you in the spiritual realm must manifest here you cannot win on Earth while losing in the spiritual realm if you realize these things you will better understand why you need to take prayer seriously look prayer is not just Something you do when you are in trouble or when you need something from God urgently prayer is not a mere 911 hotline to Heaven

because something has happened to you and you need God to step in prayer for the child of God is beyond a hotline it is your lifeline without it you will lose without it you will fail and without prayer Satan will mess you up the word of God tells us about a kind of war that we are involved with on the earth Ephesians 6:12 for our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against the rulers against the authorities against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the Heavenly Realm

when we talk about what you are up against we aren't talking about the nagging boss in the office the nosy neighbor who's always causing trouble or the bully these are just the manifestations of what is behind the Scene you struggle with them here because someone is working through them against you they don't even know that they are being used the addiction the inability to stop yourself from certain things which you know you shouldn't be doing that inability to shake off the guilt from your heart even after God has forgiven you and that fear to ever

let anyone into your life because of what someone did to you in the past are all part of the struggles of a Christian With forces operating from outside the known plane the spiritual the Bible tells us that they operate as rulers authorities powers of darkness and spiritual wickedness in high places they are responsible for breaking families keeping people from fulfilling their Destinies holding people stuck in that habitual cycle of abnormality and more to deny their existence would be to do yourself a great disservice and the truth is this is what Satan wants he has Successfully

convinced many people to believe that the spiritual does not exist some people they do exist but they have no influence in this realm that is another deception some believe that they have influence but that they only target some people because things are seemingly okay with them and they themselves are not among those singled out to be attacked this is a bit close but it is still not the complete truth do you know that some people are given so much Wealth in this life enjoying all the goodness that this world has to offer but only as

bait from the enemy you may be deceived to think that these people have all there is to life but the truth is they are stuck and placed under some strongholds that they cannot leave think of a young woman with a promising future plan for her by God to fulfill on Earth who because of of her background goes into an unhealthy relationship with someone who only considers her a tool For his pleasure now the door is open but she cannot bring herself to come out of it for many reasons she may be afraid of losing the

material things she gains from him even though she knows she is dying inside the devil may have taken advantage of her fear and greed to brainwash her and to believing that these things are the true worth of a person and without it no one would respect her and she wouldn't be able to measure up to her contemporaries another Reason may Simply Be ignorance of what the devil is doing to her she may have been conditioned to believe that it isn't better anywhere else and so she stays there bearing up under terrible conditions like a prisoner

while the door is wide open and she can walk free this may be your case but I am trying to show you that there are heavy spiritual strongholds out there do not make conclusions just from the physical things you are seeing rather trust God To help you see those strongholds and how you can deal with them our fight is not with the abuser in the literal sense our war is not with the nagging boss or the political officer the fight is not with the erotic novels magazines or pornography it is a spiritual fight if you

can break the cycle in the spirit it will lose its power over you in the physical the Bible says in 2 Corinthians 10: 3-5 for though we live in the world we do not wage war as the world does the Weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world on the contrary they have divine power to demolish strongholds we demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ how do we do this through prayer Ephesians 6:18 says

and pray in the spirit on All Occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests With this in mind be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people carry your Shield of Faith believe in God's word and use it to cover yourself in all that concerns you but do so with prayer take the sword of the spirit which is the word of God with you always and keep studying and confessing it into your life but don't do so apart from prayers in fact word b B prayers are more effective than your own generic

prayers because it calls God To respond to the Covenant of what he has said take the helmet of salvation the breastplate of righteousness the belt of truth and the sandals of the gospel of peace take them all and put them on but as you do so do so with prayer the Bible establishes one Eternal truth in Luke 18:1 then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up as long as we are here we must keep praying through Prayer you will destroy the works of the Devil

by the authority of Jesus's name through prayers you can break free from strongholds that keep people Bound by an unhealthy way of thinking through prayer you can break chains that hold your mind captive do you know that the word of God must be backed up with prayer and obedience to activate its power in your life yes the word of God is alive all powerful and Self-sufficient yet for it to make people free you must engage it through obedience prayer and continuous confession of Faith there is no holiday or time out in prayer you have to

keep praying your son daughter spouse sibling colleague or neighbor may just be one prayer away from being saved if you fail to pray over any matter which needs change in or around your life you are giving the enemy free recourse to Rome and cause damage as he wants there are Certain communities in parts of the world for example where people think in a certain way and everyone expects them to act like it this is a form of a stronghold it is not how God defined you and me to be from the beginning we have been

designed uniquely to show forth his praises and not to be like people from where we come from Revelation 5:9 says and they they sang a new song saying you are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals because you were slain And with your blood you purchased for God's persons from every tribe and language and people and Nation you have been saved and separated to a better and Beautiful Life do not let the enemy ruin You by holding you captive through one unhealthy thought pattern or system you are not who everyone says you

are you are who God says you are and through prayer you enforce that into your life enough of accommodating the lies of the devil it is a lie that you cannot make Your marriage work it is a lie that you will end up alone like your father or mother it is a lie that you cannot succeed legitimately and without fraud it is a lie that the sickness is lifelong and will remain so till it ends your life it's time for you to rise up in prayer and start breaking Cycles strongholds and lies of the devil

that have held you Bound for so long you've received God's word now it's time to start enforcing it in your life Matthew 11:12 says from the days of John the Baptist until now the Kingdom of Heaven has been subjected to violence and violent people have been raiding it what is God's word said about marriage finances Family Children Health Ministry work and so on find it and then start enforcing it in prayer don't let Satan deceive you into shunning or neglecting your prayer life that is your lifeline it's time to start taking it seriously he knows

that the moment you rise up in Prayer it will Mark the end of his power over your life and his operation around you remember your lack of prayer is permission for the enemy to keep on in his destructive spree however when you rise up you become like a burning fire that sends all the demons and their Works running out of your life when God wants to bless you he will send the right people into your life these people become channels through which the blessings of God can reach You however the enemy does this too when

he wants to steal kill or destroy you he also sends people into your life some people may not know this but they are actually on an errand for the devil in your life it's your responsibility to identify these kinds of people in your life and know how to protect yourself from them relationship is a core part of our existence it influences you to become Something either good or bad some people may argue that no one can change you but that's not the whole truth the thing is though sometimes our relationships have a way of bringing

out what they truly are on the inside which confirms the popular saying show me your friend and I'll tell you who you are our relationships also have have the power to influence us away from what we are and into becoming something else this is the whole concept Paul laid Down in First Corinthians 15:33 don't be misled Bad Company corrupts good character here he clearly stated that people can actually be deceived to believe that they're immune to negative influences I've literally heard people boast about having corrupt friends and being different now this isn't no way judging

people or encouraging a holier than thou attitude it's actually us stating a Matter of life and death and the need for the believer to know how to save his or herself from the danger of being a victim of satanic wickedness the Bible thus warns us to not be ignorant of the devices of the enemy 2 Corinthians 2:11 in order that Satan might not outwit us for we are not unaware of his schemes now if you have the right people in your life your journey will be easy when you're surrounded by the right Folks you can

learn develop and make progress faster you can't really do or become much without the right people positioned in your life people are great gifts from God with one person you can do great things but with more helpful hands you can do far greater things an example is in the event at the Tower of Babel in Genesis 11 the Bible tells us that everyone on Earth at that time spoke in one dialect or language The Earth had not been populated then so everyone lived in the same place then they decided unanimously to build a tower as

high as the heavens and make a name on Earth for themselves this pleased everyone and they all agreed to build together the building kept going up because everyone gave their all to see the vision reached the Bible then records that God came down to see what they were building and this is what he said Genesis 11:6 the Lord said if as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them note that these guys didn't even need to pray fast or even consult

God for this project all they had was their vision and the skill to contribute towards the achievement of the goal as one and God said it was enough to give them complete and unrestricted success oh how I wish you would ask God To surround you with the right people who speak the language of the vision he puts in your heart how I wish you would identify them when they show up whether for the long run or for the short burst you see as God makes plans and starts executing them to see you become who he

wants you to be the devil will also begin to make his own move let me give you an example when God was delivering and bringing his people out Of Egypt the Bible tells us that some other people took advantage of the opportunity to escape the pharaoh's rule by joining The Exodus from Egypt Exodus 12 37-38 then the children of Israel journeyed from ramsy to suo about 600,000 men on foot besides children a mixed multitude went up with them also in flocks and herds and a great deal of livestock these guys were called the mixed multitude

because they were not Truly part of Israel nor even Egyptians they were probably slaves from other nations who had been subjected to a similar plate in Egypt and having seen the power of God to deliver his people they saw an opportunity to escape as well as I think about it I realized that these guys probably thought escaping with the Israelites would give them an opportunity to leave without being stopped by their former Egyptian Masters it would also give them the opportunity To be part of whatever blessing the god of Israel was going to give them

without the obligation of service or loyalty however soon the Bible records how these people would be a strong influence in the lives of the Israelites and would lead them to do one of the things God hates which is murmuring and be punished for doing so one day the Israelites murmured and complained against Moses and against God God was angry at them and released fire From heaven upon their camp this got them so scared that they cried and begged Moses to intercede on their behalf Moses asked God for mercy and the fire was extinguished however because

the enemy wanted to continue doing what he loves to do best and that's to steal kill and destroy he moved his inside men the mixed multitude to instigate another feat of murmuring and complaining numbers 11 4 to 6 and 10 now the mixed multitude who were among Them yielded to intense craving so the children of Israel also wept again and said who will give us meat to eat we remember the fish which we ate freely in Egypt the Cucumbers the melons the leaks the onions and the garlic but now our whole being is dried up

there is nothing at all except this Mana before our eyes then Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families everyone at the door of his tent and the anger of the Lord was greatly aroused Moses also Was displeased God answered them and gave them the quails they craved but still punished them later for their ingratitude and murmuring and complaining despite everything he had done for them numbers 1133 but while the meat was still between their teeth before it was chewed the Wrath of the Lord was aroused against the people and the Lord struck The people

with a very great plague this was not the only time the mixed multitude was behind Israel's undoing in the wilderness when they faced the great temptation of immorality and ungodliness and one of the Nations they passed through the mixed multitude were some of the first set of people to get involved in the Abominations thereby egging others to join in too beloved I do not know the kind of people people you have in your life but Not all of them are from God not everyone in your life is a gift from God to you not everyone

in your circle means you well some of them are actually the devil's inside men seeking opportunities to bring you down or egg you down the path of Destruction I pray that God will Expose and disappoint them in your life in jesus' name but you have a role to play and that is to be on your guard and be care Care ful with everyone in your life Your Role is to wisely deal with each person in such a way that you don't give the enemy an opportunity to cause damage in your life you can actually learn

a few things from the mixed multitude who accompanied Israel out of Egypt they became Satan's inside men working against God's people you see it's easier to identify and deal with an acclaimed enemy standing in front of you rather than Dealing with the one posing as your friend you see the opposition tells you how here or she plans to bring you down and you can stay on your guard against him or her but the so-called friend who's actually an enemy can tell you all of the good plans he or she has in store for you the

truth though is that what this inside enemy usually does is come up with Lifestyles suggestions and other things meant to seduce you usually they Know that as your friend you would trust them enough to believe in what they're interested in directly or indirectly they know that even if you don't buy the idea you won't throw it out altogether because you respect your friends the enemy knows that if you keep accommodating something long enough in your life even if you hate it at first soon it'll become normal to you each moment you spend accommodating an anomaly

around you you develop a Tolerance for it and soon you won't see anything wrong with it and may even try it out someday evil communication corrupts good behavior and a person's greatest enemies are usually from among the people in his or her Inner Circle Matthew 10:36 a Man's enemies will be the members of his own household of course when Jesus made this statement he was referring to the enmity That would spring up within our Clos circles because of differences in faith however this statement is also quite useful in our context today since you know that

those around you especially the ones closest to you are the ones Satan's more likely to use against you what are you supposed to do should you go about suspecting everyone who comes around you as Satan's agent that would be very wrong as we've been commanded to go out and love all people for the sake Of Christ however here is what you can do one ask the Holy Spirit to help you develop sensitivity to the work of the devil around you and Mark those through whom it usually comes this is called the spirit of discernment every

Christian can have it because it's a gift from God the spirit of discernment will help you sense and know the spirit ruling in the heart of the people you meet it'll save you from being taken advantage of or of falling Into difficult situations and help you to avoid loss two secondly make it a point of Duty to keep your conscience and life pure before God you see no one can make you accommodate or do something you really don't want to in your heart hence if you make up your mind to seek God stand in it

and let it be known to those around you this leaves your stamp in the open for all to see and whoever wants to make a go at you to bring you down would Find that stamp as it reads Holiness to our god three thirdly be a person of prayer and studying of the word the more you spend time with God the easier it'll be to become more and more spiritual you see being spiritually minded has a way of keeping you on your guard consciously and uncons consciously when it's time to pray give it your all

when it's time to study your Bible don't replace it with friends or Movies four and lastly pray for your friends when you do this frequently you can break the influence Satan has over them thereby sparing yourself one more channel that the enemy would have used against you I pray that these words have encouraged you today I pray again that God gives you the right people and separates you far from anyone out to ruin your [Music] Destiny if you're a Christian navigating through a season of Challenge and change in your life this message is for you

today I'm going to share some signs that God might be using this season of your life to prune you for a more Fantastic Future he'll bring you into we'll explore how God sometimes prunes us to make us more fruitful and ready for his purposes but then how can we recognize when God is pruning us what are the benefits of trusting God in the midst of Our pruning process what should you do when God prunes you I trust God to help us find the strength and encouragement to stand strong through this message today in Jesus's name

friends life is full of changes some changes may be positive and exciting such as getting married having a baby starting a new job job or moving to a new place in contrast some changes might be negative and painful such as losing a Loved one getting divorced being fired or facing a Health crisis some changes may be neutral and inevitable such as growing older changing seasons or shifting Trends but whether we like it or not change is necessary for our growth and development change helps us learn new things develop new skills discover new opportunities and adapt

to new situations in fact change often helps you discover things you never knew you Could become or do change also helps us to become more like Christ who's our perfect model both in our spiritual journey and in our life here on Earth let me show you something from three verses of scripture to further clarify this 2 Corinthians 4:18 says and we all who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord's Glory are being transformed into his image with ever increasing Glory which comes from the Lord who is the spirit 1 John 2:6 says whoever claims to live

in him must live as Jesus did in chapter 4:17 adds this is how love is made complete Among Us that we will have confidence on the day of judgment in this world we are like Jesus but how does change help us to become more like Christ in this world the answer is through God's pruning in gardening pruning is the process of cutting away unwanted or unproductive parts of a plant to improve Its Health shape and yield pruning is also a metaphor for how God works in our lives to remove anything that hinders us from bearing

fruit for his glory but before we dive into the Divine aspect of pruning let's take a moment to really Ponder on and appreciate how life unfolds you see we all go through various stages of change from seed to Bud to Blossom and finally to fruit these stages parallel our spiritual journey hence sometimes when life throws Its curveballs it's a sign that we're at a stage of change that God has ordained Jesus said in John 15 1:2 I am the True Vine and my father is the gardener he cuts off every branch in me that bears

no fruit while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it'll be even more fruitful in this passage we can see how Jesus Compares himself to a Vine and every genuine believer the branches he says that his father who's the gardener Prunes every branch that bears fruit so that it'll be even more fruitful this means that God sometimes allows or causes changes in our lives that may seem painful or difficult at first but are meant to help us grow and produce more fruit what kind of fruit are we talking about the Bible tells

us in Galatians 522-23 but the fruit of the spirit is love peace forbearance kindness goodness faithfulness gentleness and Self-control against such things there is no law the fruit of the spirit is the evidence of God's presence and work in our lives it's the result of being connected to Jesus who's the source of Life the fruit of the working of the spirit in US is also a way we glorify God and bless others around us I believe that no matter how introverted or how social you are you want to honor God and bless those around you

in a notable way Beloved God also has the same desire in fact it's the same reason he's taking you through what you're going through now have you ever observed a skilled Gardener at work or worked in a garden yourself pruning is a crucial aspect of this work just like a gardener prunes plants to Foster better growth God prunes us to prepare us for more it's not always what we expect but how can we recognize when God is pruning us here Are some signs that God may be pruning you to prepare you for more one you

experience LW loss or disappointment God May prune You by taking away something or someone that you love or value this may be a relationship a job a dream a possession or anything else that you hold dear this may seem cruel or unfair but you must believe that God has a higher purpose for your loss he may want you to depend on him more than anything else he may Want you to learn something new or important or he may just be clearing up space to make room for something better coming into your life if you don't

know this you may think he hates you or doesn't want you to be happy but that's not true if you don't believe anything else believe that his thoughts of you are good thoughts to give you a great future everything he does or will do in your life is aimed at achieving That two you face challenges or difficulties God May prune You by allowing you to go through trials or hardships this may be a health issue a financial problem a family conflict a personal struggle or anything else that causes you stress or pain it often seems

overwhelming to deal with hardships that seem to have no ending however no matter how overwhelming or hopeless it feels God has something better for you than this Crisis in your life challenges or difficult times help us grow stronger and wiser God will often use them to help us develop some skills or qualities and overcome the enemy's obstacles in our lives three you feel uncomfortable or dissatisfied this is a crucial one it often happens when God's about to take you to the next level he starts by disrupting your status quo this may be a change of

environment a change of Perspective a change of Direction or anything else that causes you discomfort or dissatisfaction because we easily get used to our comfort zone this may be unsettling or confusing at first but there's more in your future and God's about to bring you into it hear what his word says in Proverbs 23:18 there is surely a future hope for you and your hope will not be cut off God may be disrupting your status Quo to explore new possibilities or opportunities he may be driving you to discover new passions or gifts and pursue new

goals whatever it is and wherever it may be in your life right now know that these are some of the signs that you're being prepared don't get discouraged your future will be greater than your past your future will be brighter than your present don't give up don't give in and don't give Out of course there may be other signs that only God knows and understands the important thing is to trust him and his wisdom in all things he knows what he's doing and he has your best interests at heart Joseph's story beautifully illustrates God's pruning

process it's a testament to how God prunes us for greater things Joseph was sold into slavery wrongly accused and imprisoned but through his unwavering faith in God's plan he emerged as a wise and powerful ruler in Egypt saving his family and countless others from the famine that ravaged the Earth in his days in today's world we often find ourselves facing daunting challenges struggles and setbacks it's easy to question why God would allow these hardships but my friends these moments of adversity might just be the signs that God is pruning you for something Extraordinary as Christians

we believe in a God who knows the plans he has for us plans for good and not for evil plans for a future and hope therefore our perspective as God's children is built on faith and trust even when life seems to be falling apart so the signs of pruning are actually opportunities for growth in our faith and character not attempts to destroy us so when you find yourself in the Middle of a storm remember that God is with you your challenges are not punishments but the refining fire that shapes your character as Romans 5 3:4

tells us not only so but we also glory in our sufferings because we know that suffering produces perseverance perseverance character and character hope beloved your trials are building your character for a greater purpose ultimately you must remember That Jesus is the way the truth and the life when you see these signs of pruning around you turn to him hold on to Jesus as the constant unwavering anchor in the storm he is the one who will guide you through life's trials and prepare you for more I encourage you to hold steadfast to your faith and prayerfully

trust that God is working for your good surround yourself with Godly friends who can support you and pray for you share your Struggles and questions with with them and let them help you find answers listen to their advice and encouragement from God's word you can also personally find verses that speak to your situation and comfort your soul memorize them and repeat them when you feel confused or discouraged apply them to your life and your situation with his guidance you'll emerge from this season stronger wiser and ready for the extraordinary future That awaits you picture of

power so pure that it promises protection against the darkest Powers known to man this isn't the plot of a fantasy novel this is the reality offered to us in Luke 10: 19 a verse so charged with authority that it disrupts the very fabric of spiritual warfare why does this matter you might ask well let's peel back the layers of this Cosmic conflict you see there's a narrative seldom spoken a dialogue about Darkness that many avoid the realm of demons isn't a topic for the faint-hearted and yet ignoring it doesn't diminish its reality in fact avoidance

is the enemy's greatest weapon the less we know the less equipped we are to combat the forces that seek our downfall but here's where the tide turns amidst the battles and the bruises of life there's a promise of an indomitable Kingdom a realm where Victory is not just a possibility but a guaranteed Outcome Jesus didn't just speak empty words when he declared the authority given to us over the enemy he was laying down the blueprint for an eternal Triumph consider the tales of old the sagas of prophets like Daniel who foresaw the skirmishes and strife

of the last days these aren't just ancient texts there's a Clarion call to the Warriors of light the weariness you feel the sense of being besieged it's all part of the narrative but so is the Impending Victory a Triumph so absolute that every Dominion under heaven will acknowledge the sovereignty of the most high this message isn't just for the weary Soul it's for the Curious mind the seeking Spirit and the hardened heart it's for the Young Who navigate a world brimming with mixed signals and for the old who've seen the pendulum swing from despair to

hope it's a ter as old as time yet as fresh as the morning dew a story of an everlasting Kingdom that Beckons us to be more than mere Spectators so as you stand at the front lines of decision remember this the power bestowed upon you isn't just a verse to recite but a truth to embody the battles we Face are real but so is the armor we've been given it's time to step out of the shadows and into the light to claim the promise that has the power to unsettle the underworld world let's not just

read the words let's live them let's not just hear the story let's Be a part of it for in the end this isn't just about knowing a verse that demons fear it's about embracing a reality where despite the chaos we are more than conquerors this is your invitation to join the ranks to be a part of a narrative that has been unfolding since the dawn of time the question isn't just do you believe but rather are you ready to step into the the promise the stage is set the lines are drawn and the script is

yours to Write welcome to the story of a lifetime welcome to the path of Victory Jesus in his infinite wisdom and love bestows upon his followers of power so complete so profound that the very agents of chaos tremble at its mention behold I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall hurt you these words aren't mere Comfort they're a battlecry a Divine mandate that shifts the balance of power from The Unseen forces of evil to the hands of the redeemed consider the metaphor

of serpents and scorpions these aren't just creatures of the Earth but symbols of the venomous and vicious attacks we face in life yet here we stand not as victims but as conquerors with the ability to trample these threats underfoot it's a vivid image of Victory and dominance a testament to the authority we hold the authority isn't about arrogance or Personal Glory it's a sacred trust a gift from the one who conquered death and hell we don't wield this power from a place of Pride but from a posture of humility and Faith it's not our strength

but his that shatters the chains of the enemy this power is born from surrender from believing in the one who promises that even the Gates of Hell cannot Prevail against against his church the adversary the father of Lies is a master of deception he whispers doubts SWS fear And Bluffs about his power but his greatest fear is you yes you walking in the fullness of your god-given Authority his tactics are no match for the truth that resides within you the moment you realize the extent of your power his influence crumbles this isn't just theology or

history it's about your story your battles your Victory imagine facing life storms not with Dread but with an unwavering confidence that you're backed By Heaven itself Envision yourself standing firm not because you're Invincible but because you're empowered by the one who is this is your heritage your identity your weapon as you go through life remember Luke chapter 10: 19 let it be engraved in your heart a constant reminder of the power you carry let it transform your perspective turning fear into faith and defeat into Dominion you're not just surviving you're thriving advancing and conquering You're

you are an overcomer and in his name you shall tread on serpents and scorpions and nothing shall by any means hurt you this is the verse that demons Fear The Promise they can't overcome and the truth that sets the captives free and it's yours now and forever imagine standing on a battlefield the air thick with tension an unseen enemy lurking in every shadow this isn't just any Battlefield it's the arena of your life where every day is a skirmish between light and darkness but here's the twist you're not just a soldier you're a Victor a

conqueror armed with a promise so steadfast that the very Legions of Darkness flee at its Proclamation This Promise nestled within the sacred pages of scripture is not merely words but a declaration of divine protection and Authority it's the assurance that though you walk through the valley of The shadow of death You Are Not Alone nor are you defenseless you're equipped with the power that the enemy with all his cunning and deceit desperately wants to keep from your grasp why you might ask is this verse so feared by the forces of Darkness it's simple this verse

is a mirror reflecting the magnitude of the power vested in you through faith it's a reminder that you are not a mere bander in this Cosmic battle but an active participant clothed In the armor of God wielding the sword of the spirit with the authority of Christ himself the enemy's greatest fear is you Awakening to the reality of your position in Christ elevated empowered and eternal you see the moment Adam relinquished his Dominion chaos claim named its Reign but then came Jesus the game changer the curse reverser who through his ultimate sacrifice not only Dethrone

after a fierce battle in the ring claims the Victory and the prize the attention the glory the reward all his yet when he returns home he hands the prize to his beloved making her more than a conqueror she didn't throw a punch yet she shares in the Triumph This is the picture of our relationship with Christ he fought the Battle he claimed the Victory and then he turned to us with love in his eyes and said this win Is yours friends it's time to shake off the fear the intimidation the lies that have held you

captive the truth is the enemy is already defeated and you through Christ have been given authority over all his schemes no demon no darkness no power of hell can withstand the authority you carry in his name as you navigate the challenges and trials of Life remember this you are not fighting alone nor are you fighting a losing battle you are more than a Conqueror through him who loves you Embrace this Truth live in this truth and watch as the enemy strongholds crumble under the weight of your faith let this message ignite a fire within you

Sea of cars with a gesture we too can stand in the path of darkness and declare no more as we wield this Authority let's not be swayed by the loudness of the world's chaos but be steadied by the quiet Confidence of her god-given power let's not just read Ephesians 6:10 but embody it being strong not in ourselves but in the Lord and in the power of His might for it's not about how fiercely we fight but about the unassailable strength we stand in engage engage with the word engage in prayer engage in loving those around
