Overcoming the enemy

We are fully equipped to overcome the enemy if we will realize what Jesus made available to us and not be ignorant.

D. L. Moody said, “The reason so many Christians fail all through life is that they underestimate the strength of the enemy… The nearer you get to the Cross, the fiercer the battle.”

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 12:

28  But, if I drive out demons by the power of the Spirit of God, then the end of satan’s kingdom has come!

29 Who would dare enter the house of a mighty man and steal his property? First, he must be overpowered and tied up by one who is stronger than he. Then his entire house can be plundered.

30 “So join with Me, for if you’re not on My side you are against Me. And if you refuse to help Me gather the spoils, you are making things worse.”

It is vital that you understand what Jesus just said.  Don’t refuse to help Him gather the spoils.  This applies to all of those who are being drawn to The Gospel as well as the resources to promote righteousness here on earth.  This is fundamental to our helping the poor in this ministry.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 2:

10  For it was fitting for Him (Jesus), for Whom are all things and by Whom are all things, in bringing many Sons to glory, to make the Captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

11 For both He who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren,

12 saying: “I will declare Your name to My brethren; In the midst of the assembly I will sing praise to You.”

13 And again: “I will put My trust in Him.” And again: “Here am I and the children whom God has given Me.”

14 Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,

15 and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

Jesus paved the way for us as Sons and Daughters, to add to the Kingdom.

Jesus also spoke in John chapter 10:

7  So Jesus went over it again, “I speak to you Eternal Truth: I am the Gate for the flock.

8 All those who broke in before Me are thieves who came to steal, but the sheep never listened to them.

9 I am the Gateway. To enter through Me is to experience life, freedom, and satisfaction.

10 A thief has only one thing in mind—he wants to steal, slaughter, and destroy. But I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect—life in its fullness until you overflow!

In everything we say and do, let us exalt and properly represent Our King Lord Jesus!  As we become mature and are fully led by The Holy Spirit, we will join with others to become the conquering army of THE LORD.

The Beloved Disciple recorded what he saw in THE SPIRIT in Revelation 12:

10  Then I heard a triumphant voice in heaven proclaiming: “Now salvation and power are set in place, and the Kingdom reign of Our God and the ruling authority of his Anointed One are established. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who relentlessly accused them day and night before Our God, has now been defeated—cast out once and for all!

11 They conquered him 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.

12 So rejoice, you Heavens, and every Heavenly being! But woe to the earth and the sea, for the devil has come down to you with great fury, because he knows his time is short.”

There is no doubt that the devil is relentless and desperate in these final days.  Let us as Overcomers be more relentless, knowing that we serve the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords!
