Satan has no power over authentic
Believers that we do not grant to him, or that God does not allow. However, demonic darkness
interrupts our nightly dreams, as well as our daily walk with the Lord.
Demonic oppression stalls our
forward progress in spiritual maturity and influences our relationships and job performance. As Born
Again Believers, we do not have to allow our self to reap the destruction of
Satan and his forces.
We have the power within us
through Jesus Christ to withstand his onslaughts. We are prisoners in this
world and to our past trauma and mistakes, until we humbly surrender to God's
will for each moment of our day.
He makes us bondservants in
His Kingdom, and showers us with His continual blessings in this life and the
next. As the cornerstone of His Church, Jesus keeps us aligned with His power
and grace as we walk in God's Will for us.
God's Spirit directs our
spirit and perfects our soul. When we journal our true thoughts and feelings,
we see clearly the areas of our life that are bothering us and keeping us mired
down in the mud of this world.
God helps us to mend broken
relationships, heals our wounds from the past, and He reveals the footholds into our
life that we are still providing for Satan.
He strengthens
our faith in His faithfulness, uses us to encourage others, and helps us to let
go of our dependence on our human resources and to cling to God's love,
direction and provision.
We start to heal as God
brings us freedom in every area of our life. We recognize sins that are keeping
us in bondage to the devil's influence, and we withstand temptation with more victory.
Prayer:
Father
God, You show us the trauma and issues of our past, which affect our every
waking moment, in
order to stop the devil's advantage over us. He does not stop attacking us just
because we trusted You for salvation. We still believe his lies and they must
be dispelled by Your Truth. This is all part of our
sanctifying process. Help us to face each incident that You reveal to us.
Remind us to sit quietly in
persevering prayer until we hear Your Truth. You are always ready, willing and
able to help us to change our focus and to restore that part of our past to
Your domain. Each time You set us free, our faith in Your faithfulness
increases and our domination by Satan's lies decreases. Thank You for setting
us free in soul and spirit. We look forward to our immortal body once we see
Jesus.
Thought for the Day:
Once we surrender our
carnality to God's Spirit, He replaces it with His fruit, and the mind and divine character of Christ.
-Galatians 5:22-23;
Romans 12:2; 2 Peter 1:4
