Each Morning

Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.  Lamentations 3:22-23 NET

By faith stand in your position of victory. 

Confess your salvation; eliminate condemnation. 

Proclaim Jesus’ righteousness over you even when you don’t feel like you’re righteous. 

Claim the truth of God’s Word even when events contradict it. 

Declare the peace that passes understanding when you feel confused. 

Speak God’s Word, not your feelings. 

2 Timothy 3:16-17 TPT God has transmitted His very substance into every Scripture, for it is God-breathed. It will empower you by its instruction and correction, giving you the strength to take the right direction and lead you deeper into the path of godliness. Then you will be God’s servant, fully mature and perfectly prepared to fulfill any assignment God gives you.

Standing on His promises, truthfully accepting and trusting His plans, we will be amazed at how that kind of faith changes the spiritual climate of our dark day. The enemy will be pushed back. You will take back the ground from the enemy. 

Proverbs 29:25 via the Message Interpretation  The fear of human opinion disables; trusting in GOD protects you from that.

The enemy is constantly working to make us question God’s Word, His plan, and His heart for us. If satan can trap us in this conversation, it’s a slippery slope that will introduce chaos and pain into our lives. 

Maybe It’s important to notice that we don’t put on God’s armor to wrestle against flesh and blood. In other words, we are not at war with people. It’s not possible to live victoriously in the spiritual realm while clashing with people in the flesh. 

Oh my goodness isn’t that the truth! 

And even if we are not out and out arguing our opinions at the grocery store about a headline screaming across the daily news - we are often thinking it within-

And God knows our hearts! Our thoughts! .... I’m sorry God, forgive us, forgive me! 

That’s why God reminds us that we don’t wrestle against flesh and blood. the battle is the Lord’s. 

Galatians 5:1 NET For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not be subject again to the yoke of slavery.

He anoints us for winning spiritual battles, not arguments with people. We are not called to squabble with people. The devil entices us to engage in battles that are not ours.  

Do not fight people. The enemy tempts us to fight our brothers and sisters so that we forget to fight him. Don’t waste your anointing on battles that God didn’t call you to.  

To walk victoriously with Jesus Christ, we must stay focused and walk away from conflicts with people, no matter how enticing those battles may be. 

Pray through.... 

Ephesians 6:14-18 TPT Embrace the power of salvation’s full deliverance, like a helmet to protect your thoughts from lies. And take the mighty razor-sharp Spirit-sword of the spoken word of God. Pray passionately in the Spirit, as you constantly intercede with every form of prayer at all times. Pray the blessings of God upon all his believers. Put on truth as a belt to strengthen you to stand in triumph. Put on holiness as the protective armor that covers your heart. Stand on your feet alert, then you’ll always be ready to share the blessings of peace. In every battle, take faith as your wrap-around shield, for it is able to extinguish the blazing arrows coming at you from the evil one!

We must acknowledge daily that Jesus Christ is our saviour, (the enemy will try to take back its old territory in our lives) and respond by staying alert, building up safeguards of prayer worship and Bible reading to protect our life of freedom in Jesus, asking Holy Spirit for help in the face of difficulties, temptation, and surrounding ourselves with Godly friends who will pray with us, pray for us. 

God teaches in Ephesians 6 that we need to actively put on the armor of God so that we will be able to stand against the devil’s schemes.

Hebrews 2:14 CSB Now since the children have flesh and blood in common, Jesus also shared in these, so that through His death He might destroy the one holding the power of death — that is, the devil —

..... and put on God's armor every day.
