Let's Put "It" Where "It" Belongs (Part 1)

Hi everyone,

Yesterday, I was able to explain how the devil ensures he takes our attention from Jesus to our body, and in doing that, we lose focus and that is where he strikes. The truth of all this matter is that binding the devil from a place isn’t the way some do it, because we must understand that it is not by our strength we bind the devil. Some would think because they are under the newly transformed life in Jesus, they can do anything. Yes, you can do anything, but you cannot do anything without Jesus, in other words, you must understand that it is Jesus and not you that is rebuking the devil. You are just a vessel for Jesus to operate through. Remember, there is no you anymore, only Christ, so, the power and authority displayed is Christ’s and not yours, and because Christ now dwells in you, you've got to recognise that He is the one in charge of your body and not you because the “you” doesn’t exist anymore. So, let’s get down to business, how do we avoid the devil’s trickery by putting Jesus in charge as I just explained? Let’s find out.

Again, Ephesians 6:12 says, “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” We, understand this battle takes place in our mind, as I explained yesterday and the day before that, and it is not a small battle, it is a serious one, as the devil attacks with all he’s got to take your eyes off Jesus. He brings distractions upon distractions, deceit upon deceit just to take our eyes off Jesus.

The truth is sometimes we fall into his trap, but if you look at the cup half empty rather looking at the cup half full, you’ll fall down and wimp like a little girl. Yes, it could be painful, but what was the intention of the devil again? To take your eyes off Jesus! Just remember this, so instead of crying, you focus on Jesus even more which strengthens us the more. The Bible says in Proverbs 24:16, “For a righteous man may fall seven times and rise again, but the wicked shall fall by calamity.” You may fall, but that is not where you’re meant to be, you’re to rise again and focus on Jesus who is now your life, who is the source of the renewal of your mind, and the transformation of your body. So, let’s continue, how do we put this evil genius in ‘its’ place?

Let us look at Ephesians 6:13 which says, “Therefore take up the whole armour of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.” This is how you put the devil in “its” place.

Wait do you think I’m going to end there without explaining the whole armour of God? Yes and No. Yes, because I have to stop here today, and No because log on tomorrow and I’d breakdown the whole armour of God to you and see the devil as trash, really the guy [actually thing] is trash. So, log on tomorrow, same time, and same blog post and get your faith active.

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!
