| | if the Word is abiding in me, i am strong enough to overcome the enemy....
the Word should inform my prayers, my thoughts, everything i say and do....but that only happens through meditating every day
satan's strategies to attack our faith: accusation (bringing up the sins we've already done) and temptation (sins he wants us to do)
revelation 12:10-11
his accusations fall to the ground if you are covered by the blood of the Lamb!
triumph over the devil - is not life or prosperity - it's keeping your testimony to death (the word of their testimony...they were not afraid to die for Christ)
1 john 2:1--we have an Advocate - Jesus Christ, the Righteous One
1 john 2:24--FAITH overcomes the world and the evil one
when you are in Christ NO ACCUSATION can stand against you!
temptation=test
satan's lies in tempation: 1-God is bad/weak.....2-sin is better
TRUTH defeats the lies....Your Word is Truth, and it sets us free
we fight the fight of faith our whole lives....Christianity is life, not just events...fighting every single day.
*listen to john piper's sermon "The Word of God Abides in You, and You Have Overcome the Evil One"...you can download it free on www.desiringgod.org
so God, i need your help....i am trying to keep fighting, but i'm sick of it! i don't know what to do....please let me be consumed by the truth of Your Word every day....i need Your grace! |
