Enemy Of Our Soul


What is devil? We know him as our enemy of our soul. Do you think that's all to him? No, is alive and active on the earth. My experience with him was just one line, "He is my enemy". Now my experience has changed with him. We have to know he is more that that. He is cunning with different strategies. One cake but packed in different flavors. His aim is to deceive us that is makes us believe lie. Bombard mind with negative thoughts leading to depression. Ultimately, leads us to make negative confession. When we do that we worship Satan and serve him with our actions. He enters our life with one unbelieving thought, "everything destroyed". Then, we start sinning we say "God is against us, why should I lead holy life"? We are opening more doors to him, and then we want to end our life. Satan wants to steal our faith. To take us away from God, ultimately God should not be glorified with our life. Keep believing no matter what; let us give glory to God by our life.  Luke 4:8, Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Worship the Lord your God and serve him only." John 10:10, Jesus came to give us life and enjoy it abundantly. Matthew 16:23, Jesus turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men." Life in this world is temporary. Even if I don't get what we believe, let us be on God's side for eternity. 1 John 2:14, I have written to you who are young in the faith because you are strong. God’s word lives in your hearts, and you have won your battle with the evil one Let's God word abide strong in you, you can overcome the enemy.

Submit to God and don't be in rebellion, otherwise you act like the devil. Defeated devil draw away Christ, he doesn't care what it takes to distract us so we arrive in hell. Defeated Satan wants us to focus on him rather than on awesome power of God. If you focus on him, he can block you from seeing God. Defeated Satan cannot bring anything on your life that God has not reviewed and permitted. If you can't bless the Lord that means trial is having you. Make decelerations like Job, then you are ready to allow God to use Satan’s work against you. God is using Satan’s rebellion and defeat to display His great glory and accomplish His good plan. The only thing devil knows how to do is get us to do what he did, to turn against God in rebellion.

The key to having spiritual warfare is to see Jesus to understand and put into practice all that He has purchased for us by His death, resurrection and ascension. Satan foolishly gave Jesus to death. When Jesus rose from the dead Satan was rendered powerless. Jesus conquered death and then He conquered him who who had power of death, the devil. (Hebrews 2:14) Read Matthew 28;18, Ephesians 1:20-22, Colossians 2:9-10, Jesus Christ was enthroned by God the Father and all powers came under His authority, including the power of Satan and his demons. Jesus Christ rules over all from His throne in the heavenlies. Satan can't bring plans until God reviews it. Satan does not possess all knowledge. We are raised up and seated with Christ. Jesus not only sits enthroned, but we sit enthroned with Him. He has partnered with us to share His victory with us.

There is no authority in your plans. When we give up your rights and plans. He's ready to release His authority in your life. He has purchased for us all authority we ever need by His death, resurrection and ascension. Satan wants dominance on your life even though you belong to Christ. The degree to which we become identified with Christ, come under His authority and learn to use His authority is the degree to which we will experience victory.

Satan must function by deception alone, gets us to believe that we have no authority that we are helpless prisoners of our past or our present. Only authority and power we give Satan, he has that. If you are in Christ Jesus, you have already been raised and exalted with Him. You occupy a position of tremendous authority. And you can draw on that authority to allow Christ to take charge of your life in the power of the Holy Spirit. Calling on Your authority to set me free from whatever binds me and exhibiting Your power in the world. Walking, Talking and Acting like who we are in Christ.

2 John 8, Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward. Satan cannot do anything until God permits us. He deceive us. He shows us signs that miracle won't happen. Don't believe that at any cost. You know what that is sign that the miracle is going to happen. We give authority and power in our life, by opening door to him by unbelief. Believe what Christ done for us. He is Lord of our life, your life will not be put to shame.

Only what is written about us will happen, all for our good. Believe only what is written in the word even if situations are contrary.
