When the enemy throws everything at us, the lines are drawn for battle! The victory is ours, in Jesus' Name! We know how this ends! We have what God promised us, an amazing future waiting for us! All those pains and struggles? Yeah, they're gonna fade away! Keep looking up! IT'S TIME TO RISE UP AND FIGHT!
1. DEFEND!
DEFENSIVE STAND #1: Breastplate UP! When Satan comes knocking at your door, his initial tactic will be to accuse and burden you with guilt, because he's the accuser! But DO NOT allow him! Remember, we are made righteous by the blood of Jesus.
DEFENSIVE STAND #2: Shield UP! Next, he'll attempt to plant doubt about your faith. Thoughts like, "You're foolish for believing all this!" "Can the Bible really be trusted?" "God doesn't care for you!" "His return is just a myth!" Don't give in! Hold onto your faith, even when doubt comes knocking with its fiercest questions and comments.
DEFENSIVE STAND #3: Tight your helmet! After that, he'll target your salvation itself! Thoughts like, "Are you really saved?", "Will you be taken in the rapture?", "You haven't repented enough for forgiveness!", "You haven't done enough to prove you're worthy of salvation before God!" Stand your ground! Your salvation is by grace, through faith, not by works. It's the Holy Spirit who seals it!!
2. IT'S TIME TO ATTACK!!
ATTACK STANCE #1: Feet ready to kick into action!
There's no stronger offensive move than boldly proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ, no matter how much opposition we're up against.
ATTACK STANCE #2: Sword Raised High!!
Unleash the truth against Satan's deceptions! Our weapon of offense is the Word of God, not just opinions or emotions.
ATTACK STANCE #3: Arms reached out!
Just like Jesus taught us, it's time to rise and pray! Stretch out your arms in surrender and connect with God! Tap into His strength and guidance, fortifying ourselves for the challenges ahead. So, let's raise our arms and hearts in prayer, ready to face whatever comes our way!
ATTACK STANCE #4: Keep your arms reached out!
And here's our final move in our battle strategy: Let's take a page out of David's playbook. It's time to bring our worship before God!
Lift up your praises, sing aloud, rejoice, be joyful, and dance!! Just like David did, let's express our love and adoration for God through music, singing, and even dancing. It's a beautiful way to connect with Him and show our gratitude for all He's done for us.
So, let's follow in David's footsteps and offer our heartfelt worship to God with joy!!
God never intended for His people to live under the oppression of the enemy; rather, He intended for them to live in victory over the enemy.
This doesn’t mean we won’t face battles in our lives — and maybe even long, intense battles.
But remember, the end should always be a victory! Victory is guaranteed for us!!! Rise up in your authority as a saint of God, and start pushing back against your enemy until you emerge victorious in the battle!!
If you're not encountering opposition, it's possible you haven't experienced the transformative power of salvation. Turn to Him! Don't delay — the urgency is real.
He's coming for us, and the time is now! This is how you get saved!
Believe Jesus is the Son of God, who shed His blood on the cross for your sins, He was buried and resurrected during the third day, according to the Scriptures, so you can have that eternal life with Him.
The moment you believe in Him and that He died for your sins - you're saved, justified, sealed until the day of redemption, and rapture ready!
The Holy Spirit will come to live inside of you - He will help you, guide you, heal you, change you, and be with you FOREVER!
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." John 3:16-17
