spiritual warfare part 4

nice article from pastor rod parsley

As Isaac's firstborn son, Esau was entitled to the birthright and inheritance—but we do not speak of "Abraham, Isaac, and Esau." Esau sold his birthright for one meal. When Jacob offered food and asked for his birthright, Esau could have said, "No! It is not for sale," but he did not. He sold out the eternal for a moment's temporal satisfaction.
You were bought with a price—the precious blood of Christ. Nothing in you or that you have is for sale. You and everything about you belongs to Jesus.
The devil will offer you momentary satisfaction as he reaches for your birthright. He will tell you it is all right to keep your tithe, all right to keep your offering and satisfy the lusts of the flesh and of this world. He will tempt you to sell your time for momentary pleasure. He'll encourage you to barter away your godly inheritance.
Resist the devil's counsel. He promises the rainbow-but only delivers the rain.

Jesus, I belong totally to You. I thank You for the awesome price in Your shed blood that You paid for me on Calvary. Amen.

The devil is a real being who seeks to kill, steal and destroy. The plan of satan is to take us away from what God has for us. Every person will either be slave of God or of satan. The plan of satan
is deception and spiritual blindness.

We need to make a deliberate decision to live for GOD and put satan under our feet. Spiritual warfare begins with a true commitment to live for JESUS CHRIST.

Today during my sermon I did something that I believe is important when we are under spiritual attack. We need to expose lies and replace them with truth. When others lie about you they are a being used by the devil. "The thief comes to kill and steal and destroy..." (Jn 10:10a).

When you expose a lie the light of truth dispels the darkness and satan has nowhere to hide. We must always remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood but rulers of darkness in high places. When satan uses people to spread lies we must be ready to forgive the liars and pray for them.
