Ephesians 6:12 says for we wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only
with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers,
against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present
darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly
(supernatural) sphere.
From the scriptures we see that we are in a war. A careful study of this
verse informs us that our warfare is not with other human beings but with
the devil and his demons. Our enemy, Satan, attempts to defeat us with
strategy and deceit, through well-laid plans and deliberate deception.
The devil is a liar. Jesus called him…..the father of lies and of all
that is false (John 8:44.) He lies to you and me. He tells us things about
ourselves, about other people and about circumstances that are just not
true. He does not, however, tell us the entire lie all at one time.
He begins by bombarding our mind with a cleverly devised pattern of
little nagging thoughts, suspicions, doubts fears, wondering, reasoning,
and theories. He moves slowly and cautiously (after all, well-laid plans
take time). Remember, he has a strategy for his warfare. He has studied us
for a long time.
He knows what we like and what we don't like. He knows our insecurities,
our weaknesses and our fears. He knows what bothers us most. He is willing
to invest any amount of time it takes to defeat us. One of the devil's
strong points is patience.
TEARING DOWN STRONGHOLDS
2Corinthians 10:4:5 says for the weapons of our warfare are not physical
[weapons of flesh and blood]' but they are mighty before God for the
overthrow and destruction of strongholds.
[Inasmuch as we] refute arguments and theories and reasoning's and every
proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of
God; and we lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience
of Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
The Way Out
For no temptation (no trial regarded as enticing to sin, no matter how it
comes or where it leads) has overtaken you and laid hold on you that is not
common to man [that is, no temptation or trial has come to you that is
beyond human resistance and that is not adjusted and adapted and belonging
to human experience, and such as man can bear]. But God is faithful [to His
Word and to His compassionate nature], and He [can be trusted] not to let
you be tempted and tried and assayed beyond your ability and strength of
resistance and power to endure, but with the temptation He will [always]
also provide the way out (the means of escape to a landing place), that you
may be capable and strong and powerful to bear up under it patiently.
1Corinthians 10:13
My testimony:
Hello everyone each and every time I write something on this website is
only because that is something that I am going through personally. I don't
intend on judging you on your lifestyle at any cost. I am only here to give
us another avenue to express ourselves and to be encouraged through
whatever crisis we might face on a day to day basis. No one is perfect and
no one is trying to be perfect we are a people who are dealing with
different things and coming out in different ways. What might work for me
might not work for you but there is one thing that I do know without God we
are nothing. I stand on faith and I work very hard to keep myself from
being beat up and beat down by past. Each and everyday is a battle to let
the enemy know that I have the victory through Christ Jesus. You all may
have your own faith this is not to get no one to change there belief system
but I do know that we all believe in something. So whatever may be your way
to get encourage share it with me and show me another way I am open to
other points of views. Just remember we all are in this together. Help me
to spread the word and save a life. NO one should be abused in any shape or
form of abuse. Don't keep this website to yourself let someone else know
that Sound the Alarm Outreach is here 4U!
Don't forget to SMILE on today…:-)
