Remember, the Bible does NOT say that we are to stand against the power or the strength of the devil. The Bible says in Ephesians 6:11 that we are to stand against the tricks and schemes of the devil. Why? Because deception is his only weapon against us!

Whatever needs you face today, you’re not facing them alone! Jesus said He will be with you always. The two of you together are an inseparable, supernatural team with unseen resources that the world does not have!

We do NOT have to be timid when facing difficulties in life! Because God lives in us and has equipped us with everything we need, we can face life with courage, with determination, and with boldness!

The only weapon the devil has is deception, and his only entrance into a born-again believer is through the mind. He wants you to grab hold of a lie so he can gain a foothold in your life. Let God’s Word wash your thoughts and keep your thinking on right paths!

God knows exactly what we need to live an abundant, fulfilled life. He knows the dangers along the way, and has promised to provide for every situation we will face. He’s not hiding this information from us, but it’s OUR responsibility to keep His Word in front of us. That’s where we find the map to navigate around danger and stay on course!

How do you begin to live a life of consistent results? Begin with your thoughts! Fill the treasure chest of your mind with the truth and expectation from God’s Word, instead of the thoughts of fear and dread the world is continually trying to infect you with. When you make a practice of this, life will begin to look as bright on the outside as you are making it on the inside!

The Spirit and power dwelling in us raised Christ from the dead! What does that mean for us? “…if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead WILL ALSO GIVE LIFE TO YOUR MORTAL BODIES through His Spirit who dwells in you” (Romans 8:11)!

The Word of God is the truth, so it must be our standard as the absolute truth we live by.  No matter how different the natural facts may appear, the reality is that God’s Word IS and ALWAYS WILL BE the final and absolute truth in every situation!

Every week most of you go to work believing your employers will honor their promise to pay you. You don’t question it, but rather plan what you are going to do with the promised income. Do the promises of God and what He says is already yours hold the same reality and expectation for you?

There is a heaven to gain and a hell to avoid in our future. No one will be sitting anything out on a mythical fence. Our bodies are temporal, but our spirits are eternal and will live forever in one of those two places and you make that choice!
