But
there are times that we find ourselves under spiritual attack. As the Apostle Paul said, we are not “ignorant”
of the schemes of the enemy (2 Cor. 2:11).
When you find yourself under spiritual attack, remember these things:
1. Our
weapons are not carnal. “For though we walk in
the flesh, we do not war according to
the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but
divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses” (1 Cor. 10:3,4 NASB). In other words, although we’re in this
physical world, we battle through a higher power.
2. The
thing you focus on, you empower. This gets really deep and sounds very “New-Age”,
but molecular physicists have discovered that a molecule will STAND at attention
when it is in the focus of the human eye.
Nature Physics 5, 253 - 254 (2009). We are a culture that loves to raise
awareness; how about raising some Holy Spirit awareness?
3. Greater
is He that is in you than He that is in the world
(1 Jn. 4:4). I had a dream just a few
nights ago that there was a ferocious beast in our house. We could hear it roaring, and we were afraid
for our lives. There was also a beast who
was with us – it was a gentle
beast. I remember telling the gentle
beast “well, do your best,” but I had no expectation that we would come out of
the situation alive. What I realized
after waking was 1) I had not seen the ferocious beast, but in my mind it was
huge; and 2) the gentle beast was a familiar friend, but I had no faith in His
power. We must realize that who we have
inside of us is greater than the one
who wishes to destroy us. As one friend
of mine says, “The snake is dead, powerless; why are we afraid of a dead
snake?!
Don’t
give up. Your breakthrough may be just
around the corner!
Peace.
