We are in a spiritual war. And so many people today allow the Fear and Intimidation tactics of the enemy to frighten them into submission. How about you? Do you allow the enemy to control your life? I hope not, because we don’t have to be afraid of anything. Jesus gave us power and authority over all our enemies!
As it is written:
“Behold I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” –Luke 10:19
Don’t overlook that. YOU HAVE POWER OVER ALL YOUR ENEMIES, if you have the faith to use it. Do you?
And anything that gets in our way we can defeat. “For verily I say unto you, If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, ‘Remove hence to yonder place;’ and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.” –Matthew 17:20
It is sad that many of our dear Christian brothers and sisters sit back and allow the enemy to walk all over them. And instead of standing against Satan and his forces in this world, they seek to pacify the enemy, thinking that Jesus commanded them to when he said to turn the other cheek.
What part of the verse here did they miss where Jesus said that we have power to TREAD on serpents and scorpions? To tread on means you TAKE ACTION and you don’t take nothing off nobody!
Now there are times when we are to turn the other cheek if some ignorant person insults us for our beliefs, then use wisdom and continue on with your Father’s business. But this turning the other cheek business has been blown way out of proportion and misapplied by so many. And there is no doubt that the enemy has promoted this belief so that we as Christians just sit back and allow him to conquer us.
•Our enemies tell us that we must be politically correct and never offend anyone. •I say that we must be morally correct, please God, and who cares who we offend! •Our enemies tell us that we can’t pray in school. •I say that you can pray in school anytime and anywhere if you use wisdom! •Our enemies want to remove God from our nation. •I say, go ahead and try! •Our enemies tell us that if we don’t follow their New World Order that we will not live in peace and security. •I say, we will not surrender our freedom for a false sense of peace. True peace comes from Jesus Christ and Him alone!
So who cares what the enemy says or does to intimidate us through the liberal media or some crooked politician. We have power over them and we don’t have to take it!
And in your personal life dear one don’t allow Satan or any of his servants to keep you or your family down. I assure you Satan is working overtime to cause people to be anxious, depressed, and worried, so that when he appears as the false messiah he will claim to solve every problem in the world, whether national or personal. This is his strategy. He wants you to become so dissatisfied with yourself and the world around you that you will long for something to fill that void and he will present himself as the one to fulfill your longings.
I tell you that things are happening. Even today as we listen to our President and the liberals in government tell us how terrible the economy is and that if we don’t do something now, we will enter into the great depression. These are “fear tactics” my friend. And they want to frighten us into accepting Big Government Socialism which is a forerunner to the New World Order written about in Revelation Ch.13. (Listen to our audio Study on Revelation 13)
As we move towards these perilous times God is looking for Champions He can use as witnesses against the false one. (Mark 13:9) Can He use you? Do you have the guts and the courage to be somebody? Don’t allow the enemy to control your life. Stand up and Be a Christian Overcomer!
