Resist the devil and he will flee from you. James 4:7
IT IS A
GRACIOUS THING TO BE HUMBLED under the loving, chastening hand of God, but when
the devil starts tampering with you, dare to resist him!
Brethren,
God never meant for us to be kicked around like a football. I stand for
believing in God and defying the devil —and our God loves that kind of courage.
It is for
us to trust, to trust wholly in the Lord Jesus! This is the only way in which
we can conquer fear and live in blesse d victory.
I have
had times in my life and ministry when the burdens and the pressures seemed to
be too much. At these times it seems that even in prayer it is impossible to
rise above the load. More than once, by faith that seemed to have been imparted
directly from heaven, the Lord has enabled me to claim all that I needed for
body, soul and spirit.
On my
knees, I have been given freedom and strength to pray, “Now, Lord, I have had
enough of this—I refuse to take any more of this heaviness and oppression! This
does not come from God—this comes from my enemy, the devil. Lord, in Jesus’
name, I will not take it any longer—through Jesus Christ I am victor!”
Will God
answer?
At these times, great burdens have just
melted, all at once! As the burden rolls away, He answers: “Child, I have waited
long to hear you confess that Jesus is victor and in Him you overcome!”
