Submission to GOD is Spiritual alignment far above all principality, power, might, and dominion!

James wrote in his Epistle, James chapter 4:

7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you…

And Wisdom recorded in Proverbs chapter 3:

5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and depart from evil.

8 It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 2:

6 He raised us up with Christ the exalted One, and we ascended with Him into the glorious perfection and authority of the Heavenly realm, for we are now co-seated as One with Christ!

Many Christians struggle to resist the devil; however it’s not due to the devil’s strength but a lack of understanding about how resistance works. The core message is that resisting the devil is not an emotional struggle or spiritual exhaustion, but “identity in action”. It’s about believers standing in the authority Christ has already established.

The nature of resistance: Resistance is not striving or fighting, but rather about taking a position of authority in Christ. It’s most effective when a believer stands strong in the consciousness of who they are in Christ, being seated with Christ in heavenly places.

The enemy’s strategy: The devil’s primary tactic is confusion and identity distortion, aiming to weaken a believer’s resistance and magnify their struggle. He pressures emotions to draw believers into emotional combat rather than Spiritual authority.

Authority in Christ: Resisting the devil involves enforcing what scripture already declares, based on Christ’s victory on the cross. The devil has been disarmed and has no legal weapons left. He operates through suggestion, influence, and whispers, requiring the believer’s agreement, fear, or attention.

The role of submission: Resistance is impossible without first submitting to God. Submission is Spiritual alignment, anchoring resistance in identity rather than fear. It involves choosing God’s Truth, Word, and authority over personal feelings, thoughts, and impulses.

Believer’s responsibility: Scripture commands believers to resist the devil; God will not do what He has authorized them to do. Authority, if not used, is forfeited, ignored, or wasted.

The power of the tongue: Resistance is a spoken action. Silence under pressure is agreement, while voice under pressure is resistance. The enemy also tries to make believers confess weakness or defeat.

Identity as foundation: Identity is the foundation of all resistance. The devil flees not because of a believer’s fight, but because they stand in the finished work of Christ.

Resistance as standing: Resistance is not wrestling but standing in authority. Standing is stability, refusal, and Spiritual immovability. The devil only has power where the believer’s stance is unstable.

Reclaiming territory: When believers resist, they are not just blocking the enemy but advancing the Kingdom and reclaiming territory.

Avoiding “waiting” instead of resisting: Many Christians confuse resistance with waiting for God to remove pressure or fight battles, but God commands action, not waiting, where authority has been given.

Resisting the devil is about alignment with God. Submission invites Heaven, and resistance repels hell, making a believer unstoppable when both are practiced.

As an overcomer, it is our nature to be led by The Holy Spirit and Truth!

Jesus spoke in John chapter 4:

23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and Truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.

24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in Spirit and Truth.”

Paul recorded by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:

6 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be Spiritually minded is Life and peace.

Satan fears believers who worship in spirit, as this act shifts the unseen realm, breaks chains, and makes believers untouchable.

Definition of Spiritual Worship: Worship in spirit is not singing, emotional expression, or atmosphere. Instead, it begins where the flesh ends, emotion yields to revelation, and the soul bows to Truth, moving beyond religious form into Spiritual communion. It flows from one’s reborn spirit, which is where the Life of God, the Holy Ghost, and the righteousness of Christ reside.

Satan’s Opposition to Spiritual Worship: The enemy actively fights Spiritual worship because it bypasses the soul, a place he cannot touch, and aligns believers with Heaven’s reality, pulling them out of circumstances into Truth. Satan uses distractions, accusations, and feelings of unworthiness to keep believers from worshiping in Spirit.

Effects of Spiritual Worship: Spiritual worship strengthens the inner man, awakens authority, clears perception, and silences condemnation. It breaks the power of the flesh by requiring surrender, stillness, and attention. It also helps believers overcome fear, condemnation, and heaviness.

Nature of Spiritual Worship: Worship in spirit is not about trying to feel God but about responding to the Truth of His constant Presence. It is grounded in Truth, not feelings, and leads to renewed minds, aligned emotions, and rest for the body and soul.

Intimacy and Authority: Private Spiritual worship is transformative, leading to an encounter with God as Father, recognition of the Holy Ghost’s Voice, and experiences of peace and intimacy that cannot be easily deceived. This type of worship lifts believers into an awareness of Truth, union, victory, and authority, displacing darkness and dissolving fear.

God’s Presence and Enthronement: God inhabits the praises of His people, meaning worship enthrones God in the atmosphere of a believer’s life, causing everything that opposes Him to lose authority. This makes believers carriers of God’s atmosphere wherever they go.

Transformative Power: Worship in Spirit overflows into every part of life, changing perceptions of God, self, and the world. It is union, participation, and relationship, leading to a dimension of spiritual alignment that unlocks blessings and transforms how believers engage with God.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 28:

18 Then Jesus came close to them and said, “All authority of the universe has been given to Me.

19 Now wherever you go, make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

20 And teach them to faithfully follow all that I have commanded you. And never forget that I am with you every day, even to the completion of this age.”

As an overcomer, it is vital that you understand the importance of The Blood of Jesus Christ!

The Beloved Disciple recorded by The Holy Spirit in Revelation chapter 12:

11 They overcame and conquered satan completely through the Blood of the Lamb and the powerful Word of His Testimony. They triumphed because they did not love and cling to their own lives, even when faced with death.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 103:

1 Bless the LORD, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His Holy Name!

2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits:

3 Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases,

4 Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with Lovingkindness and tender mercies

This video emphasizes that the blood of Jesus is not merely a symbolic or historical concept, but a powerful, active, and legal foundation for believers to enforce their redemption and overcome spiritual opposition.

The Power and Legality of the Blood: Understanding and pleading the Blood of Jesus releases authority and power, causing darkness, accusations, and fear to lose their grip. It is described as the legal foundation of redemption that shattered satan’s dominion.

More Than Just Forgiveness: Many Christians limit the Blood to forgiveness, but It is a “Living Witness” that actively speaks of freedom, righteousness, protection, and covenant rights in the present.

Satan’s fear of the Blood:  satan fears the Blood because It is the evidence of his defeat, the receipt of redemption, and a legal document declaring believers untouchable by accusation and sin.

Pleading the Blood as Covenant Enforcement:  Pleading the Blood is not begging or hoping, but invoking legal Truth, establishing covenant territory, and applying Christ’s finished work. It establishes what the Blood has already accomplished, draws a line the enemy cannot cross, and silences fear and accusation.

Legal Weight of “Plead”: The word “plead” carries legal weight, meaning to present evidence and enforce rights. When you plead the Blood, you are presenting irrefutable evidence that the debt is paid, the sentence satisfied, and the curse broken.

The Blood as Heaven’s Ultimate Argument: Pleading the Blood is presenting Christ’s sacrifice as your standing, right, protection, and covenant, answering everything the enemy brings against you.

Application Through Confession: The Blood waits to be enforced and activated by the believer’s voice and confession. Just as the Blood was physically applied in the Old Testament, under the New Covenant, It is applied vocally through confession, for example, over one’s mind, home, body, and family.

The Enemy’s Fight Against This Understanding: The enemy tries to keep believers from understanding the active power of the Blood, aiming to limit It to historical reverence rather than present-day application.

The Blood Silences satan: The Blood silences Satan more effectively than anything else because he cannot argue with the Cross, which is the Eternal declaration of his defeat and the believer’s righteousness.

Boldness and Access: The Blood gives believers boldness to enter into God’s Presence without fear and to resist the enemy without doubt, providing the right to walk in authority. It also purifies, empowers, sanctifies, and declares Divine identity.

Divine Ownership and Protection: Pleading the Blood asserts Divine ownership over minds, bodies, homes, and futures, breaking the enemy’s legal claims. It is powerful against mental attacks, physical ailments, and family matters, establishing Spiritual walls and bringing peace.

Offensive and Defensive Power: The Blood is both defensive and offensive, pushing back darkness and advancing the believer’s authority. It is about enforcing a victory already secured, not trying to win.

Internal Impact: The Blood also speaks to the believer’s own heart, silencing condemnation, shame, and feelings of unworthiness, leading to identity alignment and relating to God through grace. It prepares the atmosphere for fellowship and restores awareness of God’s Presence.

Covenant Enforcement: The Blood is God’s Covenant, His oath and guarantee. Pleading it means standing on God’s committed promises, which cannot be overturned.

FATHER has assigned angels to assist us and are waiting for us to speak The Word!

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 91:

9 When we live our lives within the shadow of God Most High, our secret hiding place, we will always be shielded from harm. How then could evil prevail against us or disease infect us?

11 God sends angels with special orders to protect you wherever you go, defending you from all harm.

12 If you walk into a trap, they’ll be there for you and keep you from stumbling.

13 You’ll even walk unharmed among the fiercest powers of darkness, trampling every one of them beneath your feet!

14 For here is what the Lord has spoken to me: “Because you Loved Me, delighted in Me, and have been loyal to My Name, I will greatly protect you.

15 I will answer your cry for help every time you pray, and you will feel My Presence in your time of trouble. I will deliver you and bring you honor.

16 I will satisfy you with a full life and with all that I do for you. For you will enjoy the fullness of My salvation!”

And in Hebrews chapter 1:

14 What role then, do the angels have? The angels are spirit-messengers sent by God to serve those who are going to be saved.

King David recorded by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 103:

20 Bless the LORD, you His angels, Who excel in strength, who do His Word, Heeding the voice of His Word.

And in Psalm chapter 34:

7 The angel of the LORD encamps (stays, surrounds, remains) all around those who fear Him, And delivers them.

Angels are assigned to believers and are ready to help, but most Christians do not activate them due to a lack of understanding. You cannot activate the resources of Heaven with the language of earth.

Angels are active and present: Scripture clarifies that angels are not distant but are actively involved in the daily lives of believers, serving on their behalf.

Activation through God’s Word: Angels do not respond to human need or emotion, but rather to the Word of God spoken in faith. They move when Scripture is declared by believers.

Angels are moved by Divine Authority which is released through the spoken Word.

The enemy’s strategy: The enemy attempts to silence believers’ mouths because speaking Scripture activates angelic assistance and enables angels to perform God’s promises.

Angelic presence is constant: Angels are designed to be a normal part of a believer’s life; they “encamp” around those who fear the Lord, meaning they stay, surround, and remain with believers.

Words are directional: A believer’s words are not trivial; they shape life and activate spiritual forces. Speaking God’s Word gives angels legal standing to act, while speaking contrary to Scripture hinders their assistance.

Beyond protection: Angelic assistance is not only for protection but also for provision, guidance, deliverance, and ministry.

Angels respond to obedience: Angels respond to a believer’s obedience and alignment with God’s Will and Identity, removing obstacles and reinforcing them.

Inheritance in Christ: Angels are part of a believer’s inheritance in Christ, a covenant provision for every believer, and their response is swift and immediate when God’s Word is spoken through faith.

The Cross is the foundation of your identity in Christ!

This video explains that the cross accomplished far more than just forgiving sins. It fundamentally changed humanity’s spiritual condition, relocating believers from the power of darkness into God’s Kingdom.

Key takeaways from the video:

Defeat of satan’s authority: The cross was satan’s greatest defeat, stripping him of his legal claim, dominion, and right to enslave humanity. Forgiveness alone would not have been enough, as believers could still be powerless.

Crucifixion of the old nature: The cross didn’t just remove sins committed; it ended the “sinner” that one was, crucifying the old man and making believers a new creation in Christ. This new creation provides a new identity and authority.

Union with God: The cross opened the door to a profound union with God, bringing believers into God rather than just near Him. This union means that what happened to Christ—His death, burial, resurrection, and seating—legally happened to believers.

Destruction of Legal Debt and Fear: The cross blotted out the “handwriting of ordinances,” the legal record of spiritual debt, disarming satan’s accusations. It also destroyed the power of death, the root of all fears, delivering believers from lifelong bondage.

Impartation of Righteousness and Dominion: The cross imparted righteousness, not as a feeling, but as a position and nature, restoring believers’ standing before God and empowering them with boldness. It also restored humanity’s right to dominion, making believers rulers in life rather than victims.

Dwelling Place of God: The cross made believers the literal dwelling place of God, enabling the Spirit of God to inhabit them. This union means Christ’s authority, victory, life, and righteousness are all available to believers.

Foundation of Identity: The cross is not just a past event but a present reality and the foundation of a believer’s identity, allowing them to live from victory rather than waiting for it. The video concludes by stating that the cross also redeemed and sanctified the physical body, giving it a significant role in the Kingdom.
