A Weapon Used by the Enemy Can Only Be As Strong As You Allow It To Be

A Weapon Used by The Enemy Can Only Be As Strong As You Allow It To Be 

 
Isaiah 54:17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord.  I have experienced a lot of recent attacks from people very close to me and I will admit, I allowed what they did and said affect my emotions and allowed an ounce of doubt to creep in. 

But, tonight God spoke a powerful Word to me, there is a spiritual realm of things we can not see but at times can feel.  We have the power through Jesus Christ to fight these spiritual battles.  Everything is not evil, as in just because there is a spiritual battle doesn’t mean that good things can not come from it as well.  But, we hold the ultimate power to not allow the negative attacks that try to come at us in the physical to touch us. 

For example, someone can say threatening words to you to frighten you, not necessarily through physical harm, but to hurt you emotionally or to threaten the promise God gave you.  Instead of allowing their words to have power over your faith, thoughts, emotions, or feelings, rebuke it.  Stop the negative words and actions from having power over you.  The attacks can come through manipulative actions, emotional abuse, hurtful words, but you have the power through Jesus Christ to stop it from entering your house, entering your heart, entering your mind, entering your soul, and altering your thoughts, faith and actions. 

When we rebuke the enemy and his actions and words used through other people, we are not rebuking that person, we are rebuking the enemy in those people.  Ephesians 6:12-13 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 

 
This scripture alone reiterates the words I’ve spoken from God above, we must love the person unconditionally but rebuke the sin and evil attacks.  We must stand in the authority we have in Jesus Christ against every demonic attack that comes against us in any and every form, we truly hold the power in us by our faith in who God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit is.  The world as we see it is not what it really is.  Ephesians 6:10-11 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.  11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 

The attacks will be strong but God is stronger.  Be ready for whatever might be said or done, but know that God will protect His children.  Guard your heart, trust in God, and have Faith in God.  Amen.
