67 – A Glorious War: Fight like God II
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. [11] Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. [12] For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. [13]…
66 – A Glorious War – Fight like God
The beauty of our battle now is that for all in Christ, it is a good fight of faith. It is a good fight because we get to fight with the strength of God. Thayer’s dictionary describes the word used as “wrestle” (Pale), as a contest between two in which each endeavours to throw the other, and which…
65 – A Glorious War – Know thine enemy
When people speak of spiritual warfare these days, especially in countries with a lot of history in dark witchcraft, there is often a false magnification of the enemy which produces fear and decapacitates the fighter. This fear often creates fear-filled and paganistic prayers. It is important to…
64 – Ask Me for the rain
God in knowing our need for the rain, like anything else, requires that we ask. This asking is done in reverence, knowing that our only hope of journeying the fulness of all that God has for us is His rain. When we ask for the rain, six things happen. First God makes bright clouds. These clouds are symbolic of human beings as seen in Hebrews 12:1, Matthew 26:64 and 1…
63 – A scheduled delay in the midnight.
The story speaks of 10 virgins who had lamps and were on their way to meet their bridegroom. However, there was a scheduled delay and they all slept. God is not one who will tarry unless there was a need for it. Habakkuk 2:3 speaks of a vision received by God that shall not tarry and encourages waiting for it. Though it seems the vision tarried in the eye of the one…
62 – His Promise; Our Anchor
From the beginning, all who have interacted with God, have done so because of His promise. God made man in His nature and gave Him the earth to subdue. However, when he lost this right due to sin, God made a promise to him that the seed of the woman will crush the head of the serpent, essentially destroying him and his sting (death) which is in opposition to the man. This…
61 – The meek and lowly Lamb of God
Christ who is our true example of one who embodies meekness. Philippians 2:3-10 says that though Christ is completely God, He did not count this equality something he cannot lay down. Not only did he lay it down, but He also opened up this opportunity to all who will receive it. To as many as believed, He gave the right to be sons of God. He called us brethren, however,…
60 – A hunger for righteousness
Our cravings for food are more often than not, based on what we expose ourselves to. Our brains are smart and designed in such a way that the body knows what it needs for growth. If a person craves ice cream, it would most likely be because the body is missing an essential nutrient that ice cream contains and so based on previous experiences, it craves what it knows will…
59 – Jesus our Redeemer
And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; [10] And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. Revelation 5:9-10 KJV In Israel, all land belonged to God and was…
58 – Do you believe truth, true, or lie?
John 17:17 (KJV) “Sanctify them through Thy truth: Thy word is truth.” In John 17:17, Jesus stated that the word of God has the ability to sanctify you. He also said the word of God is Truth. You must know that the word of God is not true but TRUTH. As we journey and grow on the path of eternal…
