*They are not happy about this post, but I am. I love making them miserable!
The opponents of God are angels. Lucifer/The Devil/Satan and demons are all
ANGELS. Angels that turned against
GOD! They were created by GOD. Imagine that!
How stupid can that plan be?
Knowing God and being spirit like God, but created by HIM, they had to
know their limits and that they could not overpower THE CREATOR!
Because they are angels, they are limited in number. They are NOT omnipresent. They are only one spirit that can be in one
place at a time. GOD IS OMNIPRESENT and
is present EVERYWHERE at ALL TIME.
Therefore, what is our problem?
We think Satan is as powerful as God; equal to God! He, Satan, created that LIE…and all earthly
creations have believed it! It is time
we heard the TRUTH and started to LIVE LIFE the way our Creator GOD
intended. We have the chance to begin with
any breath! Why do we live like we can’t
defeat the devil and his demons, and ignore The Spirit of God that lives within
us and has promised us He will NEVER leave us?
Why do we not believe The Truth and embrace it?
The Armor of
God
Ephesians 6:10-19
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can
take your stand against the devil’s
schemes; For our
struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the
authorities, against the powers of this
dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore
put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have
done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your
waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and
with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up
the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming
arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and
the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all
occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be
alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.
A note about my emphasis.
This is how we battle the demons of darkness.
~Only those who have the Lord…His Holy Spirit, can stand
against the devil & his angels.
~Put on the whole uniform. Notice it never says anything about taking it
off. It should be a once for all time
putting on.
~Interesting insight is that to follow these guidelines
you don’t really fight! You STAND and
STAND FIRM! It says that four
times. You stand confidently because you
have the power of God with you…in you!
~WHEN, meaning it will happen so be prepared. Be battle ready like a good soldier.
~Notice there is no armor protecting the back…you didn’t
listen did you? You are to STAND FIRM;
your back is only exposed to the enemy when you turn to run! Don’t do it!
Only those who do, allow him to “get on their back.” It should never happen to one who has all the
power of God within them! Are you
listening?
~Check your uniform and equipment. All these are a must: Truth, Righteousness, Good News of Peace, Faith, Salvation, The Bible, and Prayer. Two
of them are your weapons: The Word of
God which is your sword, and Prayer which is staying in touch with your
Commander – The Spirit of God. Hebrews
13:5-6 says He is with us to be our Helper and to keep us from fear. Usually you have to ask for help…that’s what
praying in the Spirit is. As long as we
don’t ask for help, He won’t interfere with our efforts; and John 15:5 says "apart from Him we can do nothing"...but fail!
You are now prepared NOT to fight…but you sure are
equipped to defeat the enemy without fighting…HALLELUJAH!
