"Faith Food" by Kenneth E. Hagin is a devotional that we have been using at The Spoken Word Church from the very beginning. God's Word is timeless and appropriate for every day and every situation. I always learn something new from the Word and using these tools has been such a blessing! Today's contains Truth that born again believers MUST realize and remind themselves on a daily basis so that we can maintain our position of authority over the enemy and his schemes, tricks and strategies!
Mighty Weapon
"For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds" (2 Cor. 10:4).
Although we have been made new creatures - created by God in Christ Jesus; and although we are transferred out from under Satan's authority, we still live in a world ruled by Satan. The Bible calls Satan "the god of this world" (2 Cor. 4:4) and "the prince of the power of the air" (Eph. 2:2). Christ also called him "the prince of this world" (John 12:31, 14:30, 16:11).
According to the Word of God, the very air about us is filled with hostile forces attempting to destroy our fellowship with God the Father, and to deprive us of our usefulness in the Master's service. But our Father God, in His great provision and plan of redemption, has given us a weapon to use against Satan. That weapon is given to us not only for ourselves, but also for the benefit of the Satan-ruled men and women around us. That weapon is the Name of Jesus!
Confession: The weapons of my warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. Where Satan's forces have built strongholds, I can pull them down with the mighty Name of Jesus. Satan is no match for that Name. And that Name is a mighty weapon given to me to use against the forces of the enemy.
The devil and his forces have already been defeated by JESUS in His death, burial and resurrection! JESUS has the keys of death and hell (Revelation 1:18) and the enemy has no authority in the earth. The only weapon he now has is the lie and his many tricks to get people to believe those lies. Be informed by being a daily student of the Word of God AND a DOER of that Word (James 1:22)! When you and I operate in our authority, those without Jesus will see the difference in us and in our lives and they will know that there IS hope for a better life, both here and in the next life. Our entire purpose for living on the earth after being born again is to show forth HIS works! Let's do it boldly! AMEN! Here is Hillsong with "The Difference":Although we have been made new creatures - created by God in Christ Jesus; and although we are transferred out from under Satan's authority, we still live in a world ruled by Satan.
