What if we could give you what it takes to win this battle?
Going to deal with some things that might seem a bit freaky to some of you - but they are very real and need to be dealt with.
The bible says:
In the Heavenly Realms
Some are dabbling now: video games, movies, etc. Have to decide what those fruitless deeds are and stay away from them.
Have nothing to do with them.
But rather EXPOSE them!
I’m going to expose them today.
So if you’re taking notes, write this first one down:
1.
The devil is real.
Not a symbol of evil
Not a metaphor
Not a cosmic force.
He’s a fallen angel.
Bible names 3 angels: Michael, Gabriel and Lucifer.
Satan was cast out.
Between Gen 1:1 and 1:2
Isa 14 and Eze 28 - bible records a time when Lucifer got too big for his britches
Luke 10:18 - I saw Satan fall . . .
Revelation records it again:
He is not strong enough . . .
Earth is where he is operating right now
John 12 - ruler of this world
2 Cor - god of this age
Eph - prince of the power of the air
1 John 5 - t he whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one
2.
The devil is at war with us .
Strategically scheming and devising a way to destroy us
Whether you believe it or not - he’s doing it
“Resist” - stand firm
Lying in cover, waiting to pounce
Matt 4 and Luke 4 - the temptation of Jesus.
The devil left “until an opportune time”
3. The devil has power.
Many wonder how much power he has.
Can a Christian be possessed - difficult question.
But I don’t believe that a TRUE Christian can - I don’t believe that someone can house the Spirit of God and the devil at the same time.
Here’s a verse that’s really talking about anger, but it gives us some insight:
IF you sin, don’t leave it unresolved.
Leave a crack in the window, in the door.
Let me give you some good news:
4. The devil is subject to our God.
The devil trembles at our God.
Any time you align yourself with God, you become just as victorious over the devil.
That’s why the bible says:
Take some time to talk about how much of what we deal with we think is spiritual.
Not a devil under every rock - but he’s definitely at work.
What’s going on in our country is spiritual.
You can do this and you can do that - but if you don’t take a spiritual approach, it won’t be solved.
We’re in a spiritual fight and you need to learn how to fight.
We’ve been talking about this on Monday nights in our Prayer small group.
Let me show you:
Spiritual Warfare
Bombs, guns, modern day way of solving problems, will not faze the devil.
“Strongholds” - any lie of the devil that keeps you tied up.
“Demolish” - violently cast them down
Can’t treat them lightly.
What are our weapons:
1.
The Name of Jesus.
Death - a powerful name
Addiction - a powerful name
Depression - a powerful name
Sickness - a powerful name
But:
My name in the house - “Papa said” There is a name in my house
And we have a name - a name that’s above every other name, sickness, addiction or anything else that holds or attacks you - Jesus.
You say, “but how do I use it?”
Pretty simple actually, but I’ll “splain” it to you: Sickness go, in the name of Jesus.
Devils have to line up at the name of Jesus.
2. The Word of God .
Word is ALIVE
Its ACTIVE
Only offensive weapon in the armor of God
Jesus’ temptation
Bible is a WEAPON against evil.
Use it that way! Quote it.
Speak it.
READ it.
LEARN it.
QUOTE it.
3. The Power of the Cross.
Ultimate defeat of the devil.
Ephesians 4 - he descended - and took the keys of hell, death and the grave.
He tells John that:
He confirms that HE holds the keys.
Conquers death - devil can’t throw anything at you - you’ve already won.
Your testimony - I am saved!
I am healed!
Redeemed.
Delivered.
Blessed.
I am going to heaven!
Final thought:
Rom 8:35 -
In all these things we are…
more than conquerors.
Romans 8:37
