Build and Fight!

Hello everyone,

Do you know you are in battle? But this battle isn't like the regular battle that you know, because this battle has been won. But why is there still a battle to be concerned about? Let's find out why.

The main battle which many still think we are fighting, was won over 2,000 years ago by Jesus, after defeating Satan completely. In Christ Jesus we are redeemed because of the victory Jesus has given us. This is why we stand on the Solid Rock, who is Jesus, because in Him we have all things. But why is there a battle?

There is a battle because all those who are in Christ were taken from the kingdom darkness (Satan) to the kingdom of Christ Jesus, (ref.: Colossians 1:13). In other words, taken away from the kingdom of the first Adam to the kingdom of the last Adam [Jesus Christ]. And because we have been translated Spiritually, we need to train our minds of who we are now in Christ Jesus, thus, understanding our new life. And the more we understand our new life, the more we manifest Christ, who is our new life. Now, this is where the battle lies.

The devil, who has been defeated know that the moment we get to know who we are in Christ Jesus, he is done for, and would have no power over us through deceit, this is why he attacks us with lies and fear, and anything that would make us get distracted in building our Spirit Man. And lies and deceit are the only things he can do, because Jesus took all his powers from him, which wasn't his in the first place. So, how is this a battle to us?

Jesus said John 8:31-32, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. ³²And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." It is with the understanding of the word of God, telling you who you are that you would then be able to identify the lies of the devil when he attacks, because his lies would contradict the truth. But Jesus said, it is the truth that would set us free. What did He mean?

When Jesus was tempted by the devil, it was the truth that Jesus used that set Him free, which is the word of God. We are to be like the children of Israel when they were rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem, everyone building had a sword by their side and were on the alert for any enemy who wanted to stop them. As we are building our Spirit Man, we are to be on the alert of the devil, and use our sword which is the word of God and the truth of who we are in Christ Jesus. This is the battle we face as Sons and Daughters of God. We are not fighting for victory, rather, we are fighting from victory. We are already standing firm on the Solid Rock [Christ Jesus], thus the battle is for us not to be distracted by the lies of the devil and fall off the truth we stand on.

The devil knows he has been defeated, but he doesn't want us to know that, he also doesn't want us to know the authority we have in Christ Jesus. The devil is a DEFEATED FOE, and we must remember that. Everything he attacks us with is a lie, and we will only know this by building our Spirit Man that prevents us from listening, not to talk of believing the lies of the devil, which most of all bring out the fullness of Christ. We are to build and fight!

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
