The Enemy IS Defeated

What an awesome God we serve.  He's stronger than any sickness that tries to bury us.  He's bigger than any evil that presents itself against us.  He's greater than any financial storm that tries to hit us.  It doesn't matter the situation or form of attack, God has it all under control.  What the enemy means for harm, God can and WILL use for His good. Romans 8:28, "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."

Satan isn't very original, but he does know the areas of attack that will do the most harm to your spirit.  Once you recognize those areas in your life you can begin to fight them with God's Word.  Does he attack your health? Quote, "Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed." 1 Peter 2:24. Perhaps he is taking aim at you personally? Quote, "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." Philippians 4:13.  Attacking your finances? "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19.  You can find a Scripture for EVERY dart the enemy throws causing him to be defeated.

I was a little discouraged tonight.  I mediated on the situation for a bit and then I began to shake my head and wipe away my tears.  I should have been mediating on God's Word and speaking against the situation.  Silly devil, you got me for a moment and then the Holy Spirit quickened me to your ploy.

I am a child of the most high God.  His Spirit resides in me.  Whatever I set my hands to WILL prosper.  The enemy may try to plan my fall, but the deck can't be stacked against me because God sees ALL the cards.  An enemy can blend in for awhile, but when God turns the light on the truth rushes in like a flood.  When the water recedes only the true landscape remains. 

I've read so many posts from family and friends that are treading through the swampy waters of despair.  Seaweed has twist around your feet as you feel your health pulling you under.  Gators seem to be chomping at your heels while the mud of your finances are bogging you down.

Stand firm in who you are in Christ.  Have your life jacket ready and armed with Scriptures that force the devil and his minions back into the mire and muck.  That green dirty water your treading doesn't have to drown you.  Praise the Lord and feel His awesome power pulling you up into His boat of life.

Child of God, you are healthy. You are a success.  You are financially stable.  Your Daddy is THE King and He has all the resources you will ever need.  Don't just read it, don't just say it.  Believe in it, walk in it, and thank God for it!
