What rocks your faith? Think about that question for a moment… When you have your answer, know that THAT area is a sore spot, and if ol’ slewfoot and his demons know that they have tripped you up in that area before – they are more than apt to try it again.
What gets your goat? What irritates you? What area deep within you is God STILL healing within you? What is it that you continue to give OVER and OVER to God only to get sucker punched by the enemy time and time again?
It’s time for a change… It’s time to “put your dukes up” and don’t allow the enemy’s shots to hit home. If it is something that pains you, bring it before the Father. If it is something that you need to be strengthened or healed – God IS able and He is certainly willing! It’s time to face the pain head on and let God do what needs doing so that it won’t be an area of contention anymore.
I know this easier said than done… BELIEVE ME! There is an area within me that I had thought HAD been healed, had been resolved until the enemy did what he does – sucker punched me with the hopes that it would cause emotional bleeding and irritation – it did. But THIS day I determined that I will NOT allow the enemy to have that ground in me ever again.
LISTEN – if you are an ex-prodigal and you have repented and asked God for forgiveness – YOU ARE FORGIVEN. If you are a prodigal and realize you have gone in the opposite direction that God intended, REPENT. Jesus’ died on the cross for forgiveness of your sins – HIS BLOOD IS ENOUGH. The Bible says in Psalms 103:6:
“The Lord works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.”
and in Psalm 103:8-12:
“The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever; he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.”
God LOVES YOU. The accuser is called the accuser for a reason, he does not want you to believe that God IS still in the healing business! HE IS. He does not want you to believe that God loves you! HE DOES. He wants you to stay stuck right there where you are! Psalms 40:2 declares:
“He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.”
LISTEN CHILD OF GOD – IF you have made a confession of faith – accepted Jesus as the Christ and made Him Lord over your life – YOU ARE HIS. NOTHING CAN SEPARATE YOU FROM HIS LOVE. Romans 8:31-39 says:
“If God is for us, who can ever be against us? Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us right standing with himself. Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us.”
Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”) No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.
And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
There is NOTHING greater than our God! There is NOTHING He cannot do! So if the enemy is standing their accusing you, pray! HE IS A LIAR – and even more than that HE IS THE FATHER OF LIES.
“Father God, I thank you that you have defeated satan through and by Jesus’ finished works on the cross. Help me to hear YOUR voice above the enemies. Help me NOT to turn my head to his accusations but to hear YOUR voice above it all. I come before You and I ask that You forgive me for my sins – wash me with the precious blood of my Savior, Your Son, Jesus. Strengthen me where I am weak. I trust in You Father. I bring those areas within myself that are vulnerable to the attacks of the enemy and I pray that You would heal those wounds that need healing within me. Enable me to stand upon your word when the accusations flow around me and to rebuke all untruths that go against Your Word and Your will for my life. I thank You Lord that I belong to YOU! So I confess that I am healed, that I am delivered, that I am set free! Sin has no hold upon me! Sickness cannot manifest inside of me! I am blessed! I am a child of the Utmost High God! I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me! You strengthen me Father! Build me up, renew my mind! Tear down ANY and ALL strongholds that would try to take my eyes off of You and the plans You have for my life! Gird me up Father! I put on the helmet of salvation! The breast plate of righteousness! Around my waist I put the belt of truth! I shod my feet with the preparation of the gospel, praying in the spirit for not only myself but interceding on behalf of those who would belittle me, tear me down, remind me of my faults – I give them to YOU Father! I pray that You would replace their hearts of stone with hearts of flesh and that YOU would use them for YOUR kingdom and not allow them to be used by the enemy for His purposes. I come before You Father and I thank You that YOUR GOOD and PERFECT WILL WILL be done in my life! I pray that You would encamp my warring angels around me this day! That YOU would be glorified in this life that I have chosen of my own accord to give back to YOU – it is NOT my own! Thank You Father! Thank You that EVERY need I have today IS MET in Jesus’ name! I love You, I hear You and I submit to You! In Jesus’ precious name I pray AMEN.”
If you are a child of God, the enemy has NO hold on you. All he can do is hurl accusations that we can either choose to irritate us or turn our heads from the truth that God has already given us – that we are forgiven, that we are loved that we are cherished, that God has a plan for our life! HE DOES. God IS greater and His Word IS truth. Choose THIS day WHICH voice you will listen to! And walk in the truths that God has provided in His Word – they are nourishment to our souls. We have been washed with the blood of Jesus and because of that, have right standing before the Father. CHOOSE TO WALK IN IT and the enemy will see that he has no hold on you and will have to flee. Stop believing about yourself the lies of an enemy who wants NOTHING more than to tear you down, destroy your faith and trust in the One who loves you. The only power the enemy has, is that which we allow him to have. NO MORE. Raise your precious blood bought head, child of the MOST high God. Straighten your back and declare the truth of God over your life and over those you love. OUR God IS on the throne and He has given us the victory through His Son, Jesus – we ONLY have to CHOOSE to walk in it.
