The Armour of
God: Ephesians 6
How to overcome attacks of the devil and how to attack the kingdom of darkness!
The Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force..
"Any intrusion into the Kingdom of Heaven is to be treated seriously. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. I didn't just say stand, I said stand having the armour on. The armour on the left hand to defend, the sword in the right hand to attack (2Cor:6) Use the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God and use the Spirit of God. A good soldier of Jesus Christ must live in a state of preparedness. He must be ready to go at a moments notice. You don't have time to get ready, you must be ready. He must stay in touch with his commander in chief. The Captain of his salvation. If the devil can get your eyes off of Jesus onto the things of this world, you will lose touch with your commander and the devil will bring something against you and you will not know what to do. You must guard your heart with all diligence for out of it flows the forces of life. Out of your mouth will come what ever is in your heart, like it or not, it will come out, for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. (Matthew 12v34) Be sober, be vigilant, for your adversary the devil walks about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour (1Peter5v8) Resist him steadfast in the faith. You will only be able to do this if you keep the lines between you and your Captain open, both in prayer and in the Word of God.
I only expect you to use what you have got. The devil will tell you it is not enough. He is a liar, for I have said My grace is sufficient for you (11Cor12) Use what you have got. I am Faithful, My Spirit will not let you fall. He will see to it that whatever is necessary will get done. He will operate His gifts and graces as He wills. He will bring someone around to pray and join their faith with you. He is not short of ability. He is the enforcer of the Word of God. Stand on the Word of God and He will back you up alright. If you would spend the time wisely attacking the kingdom of darkness, the devil would not have much time to attack you! He would be so preoccupied in trying to thwart you and what you are doing, to attack you.
He is not omnipotent. He cannot see the overall picture like Me. He can only focus on one thing at a time. That is why a lion tamer uses a chair. The four legs confuse the Lion, he doesn't know which one to attack. They confuse him and he sits there just waving his paw around. It's about time my people tamed the devil in the same way. I broke his power at Calvary. I am He that was dead and behold I am alive for evermore and I have the keys of death and hell (Revelations 1:19)
If my people would:
1) Walk in love.
2) Live a life of Faith (that is, use their faith)
3) Speak my Word. (Use their authority)
4) Pray in the Holy Spirit. (in other tongues)
Do these on a daily basis and the devil would be so confused, he would not be able to organise much against you. All attacks would be successfully repelled, I would be glorified and the Kingdom of Heaven would grow"
God Bless John
