Mark
11:22-23 "Have faith in God," Jesus answered. "I tell you the
truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and
does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will
be done for him. NIV
To better understand what it means to
believe ; imagine meeting a friend who is a lion trainer for a circus and
he invites you to join him to feed three fully grown lions in a cage with a promise that
you would not be mauled by the beasts .
If you believe him, you will gladly join him in the lions cage. The same
is with God, if you are not willing to put your life on the line for Him, then
you do not truly believe in God. To doubt God is equal to saying He is
untrustworthy: a liar
.
We are enjoined to have faith and not doubt. Every believer has faith
(Rom 12.3), but most believers also have an abundance of doubt that negates
their faith. Doubt is like turning off a car’s ignition and wondering why the
car isn't moving. Faith is the opposite. The power of God dwells in the spirit
of the child of God just like the power
in a vehicle's engine and until one has faith enough to turn the ignition on, that
power will be useless
God's people are in a lifetime battle
with Satan and his kingdom and there are no vacations or neutral grounds" Our enemy goes about
as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour (1 Pet. 5:8). Those who resist
the devil will see him flee (Jas. 4:7). The only ones whom he devours are those
who don't actively fight against him.
The mind is the battleground where ideas that are contrary to God's Word,
need to be subjugated and brought under Christ, our supreme leader. Just as
enemy soldiers are captured in war, contrary thoughts must be taken captive and
made to submit to Christ. Our battle against
Satan takes place in our subconscious. The spiritual weapons given to us
are designed for the express purpose of taking all thoughts captive and making
them obedient to Christ while we keep our minds completely rested upon the
Lord.
These weapons of ours are for the
dismantling of satanic Imaginations; and
every exalted entity that has taken the place of the knowledge of God in our
lives. This is achieved by deliberately focusing our minds on present and past
victories in our lives because failure to do so leads to overwhelming care and
anxiety. By acknowledging God’s involvement even in the smallest event will
cause peace and keep our hearts and minds in tune with the lord leading to
victorious faith for extraordinary breakthroughs (Philemon1.6).
As you receive Jesus Christ as lord and saviour and read this now ,receive grace to overcome every satanic manipulation against you progress in Jesus name
