GENESIS 3:4-15
Every
believer who wants to experience victory in spiritual warfare must learn the
ropes and understand what it takes to defeat the devil on all fronts. For some
time now we have been examining the importance of donning and utilising the
whole amour of God. Basically, there are two types of attacks: the direct
attack and the indirect attack. The amour of God is principally against the
indirect attack of Satan. You can always dodge or run from direct attack.
However, no one is as informed as the one laying ambush. The one laying ambush
for you would have studied your behaviour and your movements. Some people know
the types of food you like. They know the food you can never resist. If they
bring it to you in the dream, you would have finished it before even thinking.
Standing against the wiles of the devil means that we are already in a conflict
with the devil. You may not know it, but the enemy is already fighting against
you. If the devil is fighting against you, congratulations. If the devil is not
fighting against you, then something is wrong. I hate the devil, and he hates
me. I like it that way. I do not want him to like me. The battle line is
already drawn. We are commanded to fight and not to evade the conflict.
Standing against the wiles of the devil is the opposite of running from him. In
1 Timothy 6:12, the Bible says:” Fight
the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also
called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many
witnesses.” We are to fight and not to run from the conflict. This you
must get clear. Ask God to give you the grace to put on the whole amour of God.
MEMORIZE:
2 CORINTHIANS 10:4 –For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in
God for pulling down strongholds.
