Does the devil attack us even harder when we're making progress?

Is God trying to teach us a lesson through tragedy and pain? Isn't He sovereign?

How can Satan be the god of this world if we have been given authority over him?

How do we exercise authority over the devil?

Is there such thing as a "Jezebel" spirit?

How do we know if a sickness is a spirit of infirmity or just a sickness?

Do yoga and other alternative medicines open the door to the devil?

And the biggest question of them all...

Why did God give the devil permission to attack Job?

Let's find out what THE WORD SAYS about all of these questions!

Can Satan read our minds?

How do I know if my thoughts are from the devil, God, or if they're just me?

Can the devil be everywhere at once?

How can the devil put sickness and disease on a believer when the believer has the life of God in them?

If Satan is defeated why do we see believers suffering and dying before their time?

Does Satan accuse us before God of sins we commit?

Does God allow Satan to test us?

In this episode we go to the Word to find the answers to these questions and more!

Over the course of this series, we have learned that the ONLY weapon the enemy has against us - the ONLY way he can successfully steal, kill or destroy - is if he can convince us to listen to his lies, arguments, reasonings, and opinions, which are, his THOUGHTS.

And you might say, but how can I possibly know which of the thoughts that I have about my problem are from the enemy? I have so many of them!

The good news is that God (as always!) has given us a SIMPLE strategy for recognising and dealing with the lies of the enemy that are trying to talk you out of everything that already belongs to you by the grace of God.

In this series' final episode we finish off with HOW to keep our mind free from the enemy's thoughts and deal with any that may try to creep in.

We also go to the Word to find out HOW TO PRAY EFFECTIVELY for other people that we want to see set free from the bondages of the enemy.

The truth MAKES us free!

In the last few episodes, we've been learning about the spiritual strategies God has given us to keep the devil in his place, and how to take back any ground he may have been successful in stealing from us.

Today, we are going to the Word to discover how to effectively recognise and deal with more of the "wiles of the devil" and enjoy the benefits that come with keeping the law of the Spirit of Life that is in Christ Jesus fully operational in our lives!

The best defence is a good offence!

We don’t have to wait until we’re in a battle to start defending ourselves against the enemy, we can use the spiritual strategies that God has given us to fortify ourselves so well that the enemy never even has the opportunity to gain any ground!

In this episode we are starting to tackle the “hows”.

How do we remain tucked away in that secret place of the Most High, safe under the shadow of the Almighty?

How do we keep ourselves in the love of God so that the wicked one cannot touch us or even find us?

Join me as we go to the Word to find the answers!

Over the last few months, we have been getting to know our adversary, the devil. 

Why is this so important?

Because in 2 Corinthians 2:11 God tells us that if we are NOT unaware of his schemes (his devices), he will NOT be able to get advantage of us!

And in 1 Peter 5:8 God tells us that if we are sober and vigilant (are fully aware of and have our wits about us regarding), the tactics of our adversary the devil, who roams around like a roaring lion, he will NOT be able to devour us!

That's Good News!

In this week's episode we are summarising everything that we have learned over the last 14 teachings to paint a complete picture of how the devil operates and functions and "connect the dots" so that we can be reminded that he IS defeated and it's our responsibility to ENFORCE his defeat!

The fight of faith isn't to GET healed, GET free from emotional turmoil, GET free from financial or relationship struggles, or GET anything else that the blood of Jesus paid for - the fight of faith is to ENFORCE what we already have and who we already are - healed, blessed, protected, having perfect peace in every area of our lives.

The fight of faith is resisting the devil - resisting the lies, arguments, opinions, suggestions and reasonings (the schemes of the devil) that he uses to trick us into believing the circumstances more than the promises of God, and form strongholds in our minds designed to keep us trapped in the prison of our circumstances.

But the Good News is, God promises us that when we resist the devil (resist his thoughts, arguments, reasonings, and opinions) he HAS TO flee, and the problems will flee with him.

If the devil can't steal the Word, he can't have our health, our finances, our relationships, our peace, our protection, or anything else that God has already given us by His grace.

The primary way he steals the Word is through lies, arguments, reasonings, and suggestions that contradict what the Word tells us we have and who the Word tells us we are.

But do you know that there are two other ways that the devil steals the Word that are so common to all of us that we may not even realise that the Word is being stolen?

If we are aware that these are areas the devil is stealing the Word, we will be equipped to instantly recognise and resist him!

Join me today as we go to the Word to expose more of the enemy's wiles, tactics and schemes!

The devil's number one purpose is to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but he can't kill or destroy unless he is first successful in stealing.

What does he steal?

He first has to steal THE WORD (Mark 4:15) - the Word that tells us that we are healed, are blessed, have a covenant of protection, have peace and everything else Jesus died to give us - because if he can steal the Word and trick us into believing we DON'T have those things, he can then go on to kill and to destroy.

So how does he steal the Word? 

The same way he did in the Garden of Eden - by presenting us with a contradiction to the word of God..."Did God REALLY say...?"

Join me as we go through the Word to reveal the enemy's tactics and how he steals the Word.

We will also find out the answer to, "Can the devil read our minds?" 

In John 10:10, God tells us that the thief (Satan) comes not but to steal, kill and to destroy.

Notice that he starts by "stealing".

Satan's primary objective, his sole purpose, is to first steal, because if he is successful in stealing, he can then go on to kill and destroy.

But as we learned in the previous episodes, Satan cannot just come in and wreak havoc in people's lives. He has to trick people into cooperating with him and giving him place.

So if he can't steal our health, finances, relationships, protection, or peace, etc, what DOES Satan "steal"?

Find out in today's episode! 

"If I've given the enemy an "open door", does this mean that I can't receive my healing, deliverance, or anything else I'm believing God for?"

In the last few episodes, we've seen in the Word that the enemy needs us to cooperate with him in order to accomplish any of his wicked plans in our lives. 

The number one way he deceives us into cooperating with him is by planting his lies and suggestions in our minds to tempt us to break the only commandment God has given us under the New Covenant - to love our neighbour as we love ourselves.

Because when we break the commandment of love we are stepping out from the protection of the law of the spirit of life that is in Christ Jesus, and exposing ourselves to the law of sin and death which is still in full operation in the domain of the devil.

The second reason the enemy wants us to break the commandment to love is because faith WORKS by love (Gal 5:6).

Love is what energises faith, causing it to be effective and put forth the power to receive everything God has provided by His Grace.

So if we've been fighting the fight of faith for a long time and not seeing any results, could it be that the need to repair our love connection?

Today we are diving into the Word to find out more about what God says about this!
