MORE THAN CONQUERORS WHO ARE WELL ABLE TO OVERCOME

Greetings -

Scriptures are from the King James Bible.

I began this as a response to a comment relative to the post directly below this one titled, "WINNING STRATEGIES."  Our Lord told me to do it, instead, as a new post. 

Yes, Satan hates it when we give glory to GOD so we should do it, in earnest, on the regular.  Satan is a strategic highly intelligent being so we must be mindful that our weaponry cannot be formulaic because he comes against us in various crafty ways.  His cunning character is not to be underestimated nor should his power be overestimated.  It is wise to be aware of his devices.  2 Corinthians 2:11 states, "Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices." 

Satan can lash out angrily when we glorify GOD or he can turn on his "charm."  He is described in 2 Corinthians 11:14, "...for Satan himself is transformed as an angel of light."  He has numerous adverse tactics but none can conquer the warfare power of GOD.

He can come on to us like he means well and is on our side only to strike menacingly.  He is cunning and can lure and seduce with his "charming" traps.

Listen to his laughter from his host vessels - his children.  It has a wicked tone versus holy laughter which has a free pure tone.

It is likely that Satan used a "charming" tone when he seduced Eve.  Genesis 3:1, "Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made.  And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said,.."

Others may have experienced people speaking to them in "charming" tones but the Holy Ghost alerted that it was demonic in intent.  I have had strangers, and others, including professing Christians, speak to me with words, charming in tone that led our Lord to warn to beware.

Someone asked me one day why strangers come against me when they don't even know me.  My response, "The devil in them knows the GOD in me."  Battles operate in the spirit realm.  Many Christians don't delve much into such realms for revelatory knowledge about spiritual wickedness in high places.  Ephesians 6:12 states, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

There is no formulaic way to deal with Satan's assaults. We must do, as led by the Spirit of GOD because only GOD can guide us as to what to do, when and how for any given case or situation.  In essence, we gain our specific warfare tactics from our Lord on a case by case basis.  He shares with us what we need to know on a need to know basis.  Of course, we must also daily pursue guidance through His Word and prayer with hearts that aim to steadfastly do according to GOD's will.  We must, though, be steadfastly aware of the leading of the Spirit.  It can become a matter of life and death to hear and to heed what the Spirit of GOD is saying relative to all aspects of our lives. 

The prevail aspect is that when we have pure hearts and clean hands, we are more than conquerors and are well able to overcome all the fiery darts of the wicked. 

Romans 8:37
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors, through him that loved us.

Numbers 13:30
And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.

Ephesians 6:16
...ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

It is advisable to learn about spiritual warfare on deeper levels.  And for those who are ignorant about it, please seek our Lord to learn about the matter.  This week I heard a Christian on TBN state that some sort of study or survey had been done and the findings were that 65% of Christians don't believe in the devil.  Of course, we know that many people profess to be Christians but upon deeper probing, it is discovered that what they have is a Christian label with no evidence of holy lifestyles.  Anyhow, when I heard that percentage, I was more than a little surprised and disturbed.  

Satan uses ignorance to his advantage.  We cannot afford to surrender opportunities to him because we fear or have postures of spiritual laziness.  It has become increasingly perilous to be lukewarm, carnal and asleep on the watch.  We are called to wake from spiritual slumber, and to occupy until our Lord comes.  

Isaiah 56:10
His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.

Luke 19:13
...Occupy till I come.

Prayer

Lord, please help us through Your love, power and Holy Ghost anointing, to be aware of the devices of Satan and to effectively conquer, subdue and besiege the forces of evil, corruption and perversion.  We need to be ever more vigilant and diligent about perfecting holiness because evil is waxing worse and worse.  As such, to advance Your kingdom, we need to wax brighter and brighter in glorious holy splendor.  Your Words in Mark 16:20 say, "And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following."  Please let Your signs follow us, Lord, as we willingly yield to Your will.  And let us be mindful that we must exercise love in our warfare actions - for without love we are nothing.  Thank You, Lord - Amen.
