Resist Escape Search Plead Overtake
In this life we are wrestling so much more than we perceive with our eyes. God warns us that we are wrestling against principalities and powers. (Col 2:15) But do not fear, for it is through the cross that Jesus fully disarmed the power of the enemy. (Col 2:8-15)
The enemy no longer has the bullets but likes to brandish his gun in the hopes of bluffing us into accepting a defeat that isn't ours.
When we choose to sin or believe his lie, then you are yielding control and giving him ground. Wait....don't stop reading there. For we have hope! As we repent and believe the truth, he loses that control.
When we bow in prayer and ask God to be Lord over our lives and to occupy the former areas with His Spirit and Word, then we are bringing every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. (2Chron 10:5)
When we renew our hearts with His then we are able to love Him with all our hearts, all our mind, all our soul, and all our strength.
So keep advancing.....Jesus has won the victory all we have to do is choose to stand in it!
Be strong my friends.... though the path may be narrow, it is filled with great peace and joy.
your companion in this walk
