Stand Strong in the Spirit of the Lord: An Encouragement for Believers Facing Spiritual Warfare

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!

Rooted in CHRIST

I was reading my devotional this morning and it was based off John the Baptist’s doubt while in prison. If you are familiar with John then you know he was passionate about his assignment in the Earth realm.  So to see him go from that passion and zeal to doubt and unbelief was a bit revealing this morning.

We as believers must be so rooted in Christ that even in persecution (prison) we have no doubt in the God we serve.

Until we are filled are exquisitely shielded with the power of God we may be defeated by the power of Satan.  We cannot allow the suggestions of Satan to dethrone our knowledge of the power of God.

John the Baptist was a great man of God and his assignment was to declare the coming of the Messiah. He was the Forerunner to Jesus Christ himself but while John was in prison John began to experience doubt. During this time of imprisonment the enemy slipped in and planted of thought in John mind.  John the Baptist started thinking maybe he had made a mistake.  Perhaps Jesus was not who he thought he was.  After all here John is in prison.

John the Baptist sent 2 of his followers to question Jesus the Messiah as to who he was if he was truly the Messiah or was he mistaken.   Jesus responded in Matthew Chapter 11 versus 4-5 Jesus answered and said go tell John the things which you here and see:  the blind see;  and the lame walk;  the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear;  the dead are raised up and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

Satan merely made a suggestion and inserted it a negative thought pattern into John’s mind and John received it.   He began to doubt all that had transpired which is why he sent two of his disciples to question Jesus.   As Christians or as believers we must be fully persuaded in the things of Christ Jesus.   We must not be moved by our situations or our circumstances whether things are in our control or not.   We must truly walk not by sight but by faith not wavering at our surroundings.

The Lord has truly given us power and authority over the suggestions, thought patterns, and abilities of our adversary. Until we truly rise up and move in this truth then we will succumb to the deceptive patterns of the enemy.   Satan uses the same strategy on Eve when he told her has God truly said you would die; back in Genesis.  The enemy uses the same tactics over and over it is our responsibility, it is our job, and it is our duty to recognize his handiwork.

The funny thing is he uses the same things over and over merely making suggestions that cause us to doubt. He plants negative seeds by way of suggestive thoughts or people around you who have no knowledge of Christ’s true power.  They have no true revelation of who they are in Christ So they continually say negative words.

I declare and decree no longer will we fall to the deceptive patterns of the enemy. I pray over our minds that we have the mind of Christ and that we have the ability to see God’s handiwork in the earth in/and over our lives.  Lord God I pray that we have the ability to see the enemy’s deceptive plan and patterns. Lord I pray we are able to discern when the enemy has planted people in our lives to speak doubt and unbelief around us.  I pray that we not come into agreement with anything contrary to the word of God.

Father God we repent right now in the name of Jesus for every thought, word and seed planet of doubt or unbelief within our hearts we are now in sync with our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ.   In the name of Jesus create a new heart and renew a right Spirit within us Lord.  I pray that the word of God and that the spirit of Wisdom, Revelation and Knowledge be portion in Jesus’s name Amen

The Father KNOWS!

Monday morning’s prayer call was truly a Blessing and all who were on can attest to that.  I had a couple of parents make prayer request and praise reports.  I also had a parent to thank me for the particular prayers that came forth.  I thanked her and responded to God be the Glory.  Well early Monday evening I received a phone call from a friend who is also a Parent on ARISE: Praying Parents conference call.  She was the parent that thanked me for the particular prayers.  The prayers resonated with her spirit and she had a confirmation later that day.  Her confirmation came when she read a text message from her child that lives away and had experienced a traumatic event the night before.  This event included life endangerment and a SWAT team.

BUT… can I say BUT GOD.  The Lord intervened on her behalf.  Her daughter is Ok alive and well.  MOM wanted me to know how thankful she for the prayers that went forth.  Once again I say To God be the Glory.  This is but one Praise Report that I have received on ARISE: Praying Parents.  There are so many.

The prayers ministered that morning were placed on my heart that Sunday night.  The weight of the prayers were with me when I woke up so I would not deviated and pray those Specific prayers.  Oh my, to be Obedient.  Lord I Thank You.

Yours in Christ…Carla Mormon…it’s urbirthright…

Look to the HILL!

 

Psalm 121:1

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

What are you need of today? Is it your health? Has the enemy robbed you today or yesterday in any area of your LIFE.  What are you Looking at.  I have come to rely on this scripture more and more.  My mother-in-law quotes this scripture ALL the Time.  I never knew why this was her go to scripture but as I have grown in the word of and as an adult I know what it truly means.

When I hear this song by Travis Green I am reminded of several scriptures but this one especially.  Psalm 121:1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.  The Bible tell us we are the healed.  We as Believers, Christians, Children of the Most High God, the Remnant, or whatever adjective you are claiming today on the cross, on that hill, “Calvary” that Jesus said it is finish.

Today we operate in the finish work of Jesus.  We now have power and authority that was given back to us and all finished work at the cross is Ours.  So your healing is finished.  I’m dealing with healing today.  I have so many people connected to me that are being plagued in their bodies with sickness and disease and unrest and people of GOD that is not our portion.  You were healed at Calvary sickness and disease is trying to come up on you.  Whose report will you believe? Where are you Looking? What is your heart set on? Your healing/healed state of being or what the enemy and symptoms are saying. Today lets BELIEVE God.  8/22/2016

PRAYER6975079-green-hills

I pray for a Supernatural Revealed Word to be released over your Life today.  I plead the Blood of Jesus over every area that is contrary to the word of God concerning your body.  You are healed from the top of your heads to the soles of your feet.  No weapon shall by no means prosper against you I pray for divine health to manifest Now in Jesus name.  You are healed, You are whole, You are set free in Jesus name.  Lord we Thank you Right now in advance for you finished work in our lives in every area.  In Jesus name Amen.

 

Enmity

Enmity = Hostility, Hate, Antagonism, Hatred, Animosity, Antipathy, Rancor,     Ill will, Meanness, Nastiness, Spite, Resentment, Malice, Bitterness, Acrimony, Opposition, Dislike, Ill feeling, Loathing, Dislike, Abhorrence, Detest, Disgust, Bad Blood…

The Lord put enmity between you (WOMAN) and the enemy…..and Your seed and the enemy…..

Genesis 3:15

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Early this morning during prayer time I heard the Lord say I put Gen: 3:15 there for a reason.  Woman I do not want you to be complacent and think everything is OK.  Are you declaring and decreeing over your seed.  You are in a Spiritual War for your seed (children).  Who is winning?  Are You winning? Is satan winning?   Selah

I want you to really think about that before you answer.  Where has the enemy come in and touched your child (Kill, Steal, and Destroy)?  Do not be lulled into your ritualistic behaviors of getting up go to work, get off pick up kids, cook dinner, check homework, go to bed and repeat.  All the while your children are slowly slipping away from you.

The Lord is high lighting ENMITY today.  Please remember the devil is not your friend.  The devil will not leave your seed alone if you don’t “mess” with him.  You better open your eyes Mom/Dad/Guardians and see the salvation of the Lord and the tricks and schemes of the enemy.  This is an (RSA) Remnant Service Announcement. 8/23/16

PRAYER

Father I come to on behalf of our children today to lift them up before you God and ask that you continue to Bless and Keep them.  I thank you for divine instructions and supernatural protection in the name of Jesus.  Lord I thank you for Supernatural Divine health, wealth, and revelation to be the portion that my seed encounters.  I thank you that you put ENMITY between my family and the enemy and that no weapon shall prosper.  Glory to God in Jesus name Amen.

Prepared for Purpose

On yesterday I was able to watch and listen to Antoinette Tuff give an account for her God given heroic actions on August 20th 2013. She was the school bookkeeper that saved her school, students, and staff from an armed gunman that had enough ammunition to kill everyone in the school. As she told that amazing story her resounding words were Prepared for Purpose. All of the trials and tribulations that she faced in her life and that she was presently going through at the time of the incident circumspectly had Prepared her for Purpose.

Her story so moved me on yesterday that I began to give God thanks all over again for the times he has brought me through. Having children of my own I could feel for parents that have gone through and or experienced a similar situation. I myself have experienced a similar situation. My oldest so was in high school when fellow classmates began an argument that escalated and suddenly a gun was introduce into the confrontation.
My son whom his close friends teased and called “Superhero” got in the middle of the two boys and shut it down. No one was hurt and All turned out well. While all of this was happening at school parents were getting notifications via phone call from an automated service at school of a LOCK DOWN. Once I received the call I started to grab my keys and rush to the school but Holy Spirit, stopped me and I began to pray and send Angles on Assignment to protect that campus and all people involved not just my son. The fact that my son assisted in the settlement of that confrontation was revealed to me at a later date.

I’m sharing this because we are faced with trying times and as parents, teachers, and all other titles we carry; it is imperative that we pray and not react. Prayer is what saved that school in Georgia back in Aug 2013; Antoinette Tuff had spent time with God that morning as she did every morning. So when the gunman came in to Kill, Steal and Destroy she was able to ask God for help. God has a way of keeping us clam in times of danger so we can be Prepared to handle life’s trials. You can view a brief clip of this amazing story on the 700 Club; the taping was aired on 2/21/14. To God Be The Glory
