Take A Stand!
|
|
| Ephesians 6:13 (Amplified) says, "Therefore
put on God's complete armor, that you may be able to resist and stand
your ground on the evil day [of danger], and, having done all [the
crisis demands], to stand [firmly in your place]." Your ground
is where you stand, with no fear. Mike Murdock wrote a song titled
"Take Your Place". The enemy of your faith will try to take
you out of your place (ground) and have you seeking something else.
You need to stand your ground in place. You are a child of the Most
High God, Maker of heaven and earth. You have been hand picked and
chosen by Him to be His sons and daughters. You do not need anyone
else's place because yours is special and important. Do not fall for
the enemy's tactics. When the crisis tries to demand your attention
to get into fear, worry, or doubt, stand in your place, rooted to
the Word in faith. Yes, there is a war going on, but ours was won over 2,000 years ago. Hebrews 2:14 tells us that "For as much then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;". The devil has no more power. |
Now death is not just ceasing to exist
but it is also separation from God. The enemy seeks to separate you
from God, who is love, and who has given you the blessing of Abraham.
Verse 15 says, "and deliver them who through fear of death were
all their lifetime subject to bondage." Fear of being separated
from the blessing and provision of God brings bondage to you but you
are to stand your ground in your place. Glory to God! There will be
NO FEAR HERE! You need to shout Hallelujah!!! 1John 4:4 (Amplified)
says, "Little children you are of God [you belong to Him] and
have [already] defeated and overcome them [the agents of the antichrist],
because He who lives in you is greater (mightier) than he who is in
the world." Jesus was separated and paid the price for your deliverance
from the enemy's hand. He took his power from him. The enemy has no
power over you. None! What ever is in this world of ours that is not
of God, Jesus has already conquered it! It has no power. Glory to
God! We are to rule and reign in this world by standing in place.
Our place! We win because HE won. |
