Bible Verse of The Day – 5-5-16

2 Corinthians 10:4 (NKJV) 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds…

God has equipped us with weapons. These are powerful weapons of warfare.

But these weapons of warfare aren’t natural or carnal. They are spiritual weapons that give us everything we need to defeat the enemy of our souls.

Warfare is never easy. It carries a high price tag on many occasions. And it can leave some nasty scars at times. And, most times it changes our lives forever.

And there can be times when we’re in a battle, that we feel like laying down, curling up into a ball and wishing the world would just go away. This is natural and normal for our flesh to react this way.

But there is one thing for sure. And that is that God wants us to have victory in our lives. And He has given us exactly what we need in order to have that victory!

But it’s spiritual warfare and spiritual victory that we pursue. We are not in a battle with man. We are not at war with governments or anything tangible.

We are at war with demonic powers and principalities. These are the things that lash out at us. These are the things that claw at us, trying desperately to take us down. And these are the things that we are commissioned and equipped to attack and destroy, with the authority that God has given us, through Jesus Christ.

So let’s fight the good fight of faith (1 Timothy 6:12), finish the race and keep our faith strong, in the name of Jesus! Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-25-15

Ephesians 6:12 (NKJV) 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

This is a really tough thing for most believers to grasp; the fact that we aren’t in battle against people or things visible. But, instead, we are at war with things unseen.

Yes, we often come face to face with or are on opposing sides of other people, but what drives those who appear to be our enemy is the spiritual forces of wickedness.

And, yes, some people can be genuinely wicked in their hearts. But when push comes to shove, it is the demonic spirits and principalities that are responsible for what we see played out in the natural.

So as we spend time praying (and we better be spending time praying!), we need not waste our time praying against people, but praying for God to remove the evil influences in a place (towns, cities, states, provinces, nations and specific organizations, etc.).

We should pray for the hearts of people to be changed, because it’s what’s in a person’s heart that causes them to do what they do in the natural.

Matthew 12:34 (NKJV) 34 Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

But if we’re not warring against the demonic spirits that drive the wickedness to begin with, we aren’t getting to the root of the problems. So this is where our time and efforts must be spent if we are going to see victory that will last and that will bring real change to an area and a situation.

Rebuke evil spirits. Bind principalities and forbid them from operating in an area and against a group of people. And loose those who are oppressed and in bondage, by speaking freedom over them. Do it all in the name of Jesus, by which we have authority over evil spirits!

This is some truly heavy-duty stuff. And a large majority of the church steers clear of this because of that, but if we don’t address it, we will remain ignorant and impotent, unable to bring change when and where it needs to come.

So it’s time for us to come before God, kneel before His throne and begin speaking freedom over those in bondage and driving the enemy back, in the name of our Savior, our Messiah, Jesus Christ.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-1-15

Hebrews 3:4 (NKJV) 4 For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God.

Sometimes it may seem like the world is nothing more than a mad ball of chaos.

There is a constant, ongoing battle between good and evil. And many times it seems like evil might be winning, as we see what appear to be victories for the enemy all around us.

But we live here on the earth. And the earth was built by God, our heavenly Father. This is His house… His project. Therefore it has to abide by His word and His rules. So nothing that happens here shocks Him or causes Him to abdicate His throne.

We are the inhabitants of His creation, this earthly kingdom. As His children, we are also present and future inhabitants of His spiritual kingdom, here, on earth and later, in Heaven.

As His children, we have a responsibility to oversee what he has entrusted to us, in the natural and in the spiritual realms.

In the natural, we need to care for the earth and the material things He blesses us with.

In the spiritual realm, we need to do battle with those unseen forces of evil. Sometimes this will require us to stand and speak out, and be seen and heard by others.

But other times it requires us to do warfare in the spirit, without anyone else ever seeing or hearing from us. The only exception would be the devil. When we engage in spiritual warfare, he should feel the repercussions.

So with everything that’s happening in the world these days, if you’re not sure whether to speak out or not, the very least we should do is pray; rebuke the powers of darkness, bind demons and loose God’s freedom in the earth. Pray in the Spirit and push the enemy back with the power of the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 16:19 (NKJV) 19 And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

Let’s use the weapons that God has entrusted us with.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-10-15

Ephesians 6:12 (NKJV) 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

Nowadays, everything is done by intellect, human knowledge and understanding.

Intellectuals will have a very hard time believing that there is such a thing as the devil, demons or evil spirits. They will try to explain it away with something that makes sense to their heads.

Everything these days seems to have to have a name. Demonic oppression has been replaced by hundreds of different kinds of disorders, which all have names, and which get treated with various kinds of prescription drugs.

Evil deeds are blamed on a person’s childhood, or something traumatic that may have happened to them, instead of admitting that evil has influenced a person’s mind and impaired their judgement.

Nobody wants to admit that evil exists, therefore, nobody ever tries to eliminate evil or deal with things on a spiritual level. And this causes evil to win way too many battles.

It’s time for the church, the children of God, to call evil what it is and stop falling for the nonsense that the world is feeding us. Yes, there are some psychological disorders that are real. But much of what is being passed off as a disorder of some kind is nothing more than demonic spirits wreaking havoc with a person’s mind.

So until the world sees evil for what it is, and treats it as such, evil will continue to prevail in so many areas of people’s lives, and in society in general.

It’s time for us to call it what it is and then treat it properly, with the blood and the name of Jesus. Only the blood of Jesus and the name of Jesus will prevail over evil.

But we can only prevail over evil if we recognize it as evil and call it as such.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-6-14

Luke 4:33-34 (NKJV) 33 Now in the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon. And he cried out with a loud voice, 34 saying, “Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”

We live in a world that is tangible… natural. We base so much of what we do on what we see.

But, what we fail to understand so many times is that most of what we see happening in the natural is the result of unseen things in the spiritual realm.

Every second of every day, there are invisible battles being fought between good and evil, angels and demons.

And whether we choose to believe it or not, we are part of that ongoing struggle between darkness and light.

Demons feared Jesus. They trembled at His presence and begged Him to leave them alone.

They should do no less when they see us, the children of God. Jesus said that if we believed, we could do even greater things than He did.

John 14:12 (NKJV 12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.

So it’s time for us to rise up! We need to use the armor and the weapons that God gave us and go to battle for the kingdom. We are not meant to sit idly by as evil pervades this world that we live in.

Weapons were intended to be offensive, not just for defense. So let’s start using them and pushing the kingdom of darkness back!

Pray. Rebuke darkness. Bind demonic powers. Loose freedom and light!

Rise up and conquer, in Jesus’ name!
