Set Yourself

 

There are a lot of weapons we have at our disposal for spiritual warfare.  

 

However, none are effective unless you TAKE A STAND!  IT IS A DECISION in which you are immovable and unshakable,  regardless of what you see… hear… or feel!

 

2 Chronicles 20:17 “You shall not need to fight in this battle: SET YOURSELVES, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you.”

 

1 Corinthians 16:13 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong

 

Again… Faith is not a decision, it is a place from which decisions are made.  It is a place
where you “withstand (anthistemi – stand against, oppose) in the evil day, and having
done all, to stand (histemi _ actively stand forth, establish).  STAND THEREFORE…!”
(Eph6:10-18)

 

1 Peter 5:8–9  Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist (anthistemi) stedfast in the faith.

 

The adversary is AS a roaring lion… he is NOT a lion.  If you are just walking in a forest and you hear a lion roar near you, what do you do?  Usually… fear grips you and you run… or freeze, terrified to move.  Once you fear him, now he can devour.  Fear is the faith in the strength or power of something else other than Yahweh, God.

“For WHATSOEVER is born of God overcometh the world: 

and THIS IS THE VICTORY that overcometh the world, 

EVEN OUR FATIH” (1Jn5:4-5)

 

YOU ARE BORN OF GOD… a son of God… from a kingdom not of this world, 

sent to represent THAT King in demonstration of the Spirit and power… and might.

 

“for this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the
devil” 1Jn3:8

 

He is still being manifested… 

His kingdom… His authority… His power… His might…
His glory… His will… His purpose… 

THROUGH YOU!

 

The intent of YOU being born and sent was to overcome the world and destroy the works
of the devil.

 

SO… SET YOURSELVES!

 

SEE THE SALVATION OF THE LORD!
