Dear Beloved in Christ,

In the face of spiritual warfare, it is vital for us to remember that we are not alone. The Spirit of the LORD is our strength and refuge, empowering us to stand firm against the schemes of the enemy. Here are some encouraging truths to hold onto when you find yourself in the midst of spiritual battles:

1. You are Empowered by the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit dwells within every believer, providing guidance, strength, and comfort. In Acts 1:8 (NIV), JESUS promised, But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses. Trust in the power of the Holy Spirit to lead you and give you the strength to overcome every challenge.

2. GOD is Your Protector

GOD promises to protect and fight for you. Psalm 91:1-2 (NIV) reassures us, Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress, my GOD, in whom I trust. Seek refuge in GOD’s presence, knowing that He is your shield and stronghold.

3. You Have the Victory in Christ

Through JESUS’ sacrifice on the cross, the ultimate victory has already been won. Colossians 2:15 (NIV) states, And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross. Stand firm in this victory, knowing that no power of darkness can prevail against you.

4. Use the Word as Your Weapon

The Word of GOD is a powerful tool in spiritual warfare. Hebrews 4:12 (NIV) says, For the word of GOD is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword. Equip yourself with Scripture, meditate on it, and declare it over your life to counteract the enemy’s lies and temptations.

5. Pray with Persistence

Persistent prayer is essential in spiritual battles. Ephesians 6:18 (NIV) encourages us to pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. Maintain a fervent prayer life, seeking GOD’s guidance and interceding for strength and protection.

6. Trust in GOD’s Faithfulness

GOD is faithful and His promises are true. 1 Corinthians 10:13 (NIV) reminds us, No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And GOD is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. Trust that GOD will provide a way out and help you stand strong through every trial.

7. Encourage One Another

In times of spiritual warfare, it is crucial to support and encourage each other. Hebrews 10:24-25 (NIV) urges us, And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together… but encouraging one another. Surround yourself with a community of believers who will uplift and pray for you.

Stand Firm in Faith

Dear believer, stand strong in the Spirit of the LORD. Remember that the battle is not yours, but GOD’s. Lean on His strength, trust in His promises, and walk in the victory that JESUS Christ has secured for you. When you feel weary, remind yourself of GOD’s unchanging love and faithfulness. He is with you, fighting for you, and will never leave you nor forsake you.

Be encouraged, stay vigilant, and let your Faith be a beacon of hope in the midst of spiritual warfare. You are more than a conqueror through Him who loves you (Romans 8:37). Stand firm and be strong in the LORD!

Be Encouraged I GOT YOU!

Be encouraged Saints of God.  For our God is with us even in these tumultuous times.  He is with us.  We will not be distracted by the negative naysayers. We will not be distracted by the Media whether it is Social, Local, or National.  As children of the most-high GOD we must spend more time in HIM than we spend on the things of this world. 

We must recognize when the enemy is using our surroundings against us.  We can become so distracted in the frustration, aggravation, and the disruption that we don’t even realized that it is the handy work of the enemy.   We must regain our focus and see where the enemy has caused issues, stress, and dissension.  All this confusion is to take us off the path that has been preordained for us to follow. 

Your Destiny has been pre-determined before the foundations of the world were even established.  You are created for such a time as this.  We must be in alignment with what GOD has for us.   Satan’s plan is to disrupt this alignment and push us off the path.   

Once we have regained our focus which is on the Lord our perspectives change.  We are now capable of seeing the hand of the LORD and the plan of the enemy.  Our alignment with our Father means we are on the Divinely Lit Path that God has for us.  This path reveals and therefore we have wisdom in all things.

Prayer:

I declare and decree that you shall remain steadfast and unmovable in the word of the Lord and the plans that He has for your life.  I declare and decree that God is for you and no enemy shall prevail against you.  Lord I thank that You go before us and You are with us.  I thank You Lord that You shall not fail, nor desert us, nor leave us high and dry. We shall not be afraid, discouraged, or lost for You Lord have us in the palm of Your hands in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen
