IT’S TIME TO RESIST
Date Teaching Given: October 18, 2023
No matter what things look like, keep standing, keep praying, and keep your focus on God.
Have a firm, focused foundation on the Father, and you will not be moved.
Get into the Word of God every day to learn the authority you have.
Use your authority against what the enemy is doing.
Ask God for help when you feel like you can’t stand or fight, when you don’t know how to pray or where to even start. He makes it simple.
God is absolutely good. He is your comforter, counselor, helper, intercessor, strengthener, teacher, advocate, standby, and provider. (John 14:16)
God can be trusted.
Get into the Word and learn more about Who God is to learn how to stand and not be moved.
Attacks from the enemy are going to come. It’s your choice as to how you respond:
You either give God the problem, the care, and the weight of the situation, or
You hold onto the problem, the care, and the weight of it.
Praise and worship stop the enemy.
Through all tests, trials, and circumstances, don’t quit. Trust the Lord and stand. He will give you the strength, ability, and endurance to keep going.
God can and will answer your prayer.
Focusing on God in the midst of trials reminds you of Who He is, what His promises are, and how He loves, cares, and provides for you.
Psalm 113:4
God is above all nations. It doesn’t matter what any of the nations’ leaders try to do, it is God’s Will that will succeed.
One thing Satan is trying to do is attack the various translations of the Bible to dilute it so that it loses some of its meaning each time it is published.
The enemy’s first attack against Adam and Eve was to twist the Word of God.
The enemy always uses the same tactics.
Even today, he is still trying to twist and warp the Word of God to be of no effect.
The Word of God is the double-edged sword of the Spirit. (Eph. 6:17; Heb. 4:12) It is a weapon to be used against the enemy. (Eph. 6:11)
By attacking and diluting the various translations of the Bible, the enemy is trying to dull the sword so it’s not as effective. This is all to destroy the Body of Christ.
So, when our nations are under attack, we must remember God is above all the nations.
Haggai 2:6-9
Everything that can be shaken will be shaken; all nations will be shaken.
God is preparing your heart for a greater battle.
The corrupt governments of the nations desire money and power in order to control and enslave the people.
God is going to shake all these things because He is high above the nations.
The enemy desires to control the money, but all the gold and silver belong to God.
God’s children desire freedom and peace, our redemption rights that Jesus bought with His death on the cross, and for God’s Glory to fill the Earth.
God is strengthening your faith and trust in Him right now; He is preparing you for what is to come.
God is reminding you of the power, authority, and dominion you have on this Earth.
Psalm 115:16
God has given the authority over all the Earth to His children. (Gen. 1:26-28)
God wants you, as His child, to have all the authority on Earth and to use all its resources to be a blessing to others. (Gen. 12:2)
The adversary doesn’t want you to have your needs met. He wants you living in bondage and poverty so you can’t be a distribution center to bless others.
Job 36:11
God wants you to have joy and have it in abundance (prosperity of joy).
Prosperity is more than just money. God wants His children to prosper in all areas of life (spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, financially).
Luke 10:19
You need to know the power and authority you have as a believer.
The enemy is working hard to cause disruption, chaos, discord, division, and fear.
But God has given you complete authority, power, and dominion as His child.
God says He doesn’t want you harmed or negatively affected in this time.
John 16:33
God has conquered the enemy for you.
In the world, there will be trials, tribulations, distress, and frustration, but through Jesus, all the power of the curse and the enemy was destroyed over you. All the enemy’s power has come to nothing.
God gave Himself for you.
Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. (1 John 4:4)
James 4:7
Resist the devil, and he must flee.
The Body of Christ is at WAR:
W = worship
Worship is a sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving, and it destroys the power of the enemy. (2 Chron. 20)
A = and
R = resist
When you are worshipping and resisting, the wicked (enemies) are restricted.
W = wicked
A = are
R = restricted
If Satan can’t steal your joy, he can’t keep your goods.
In the midst of bad reports, how you choose to respond will determine your outcome. You should:
keep your focus on God;
handle it with the Word of God;
handle it with love;
pray for those against you;
don’t glorify the attack; and
fight through it with joy.
God always hears your prayers, and He always answers. He knows what’s going on, and He will avenge you.
Matthew 11:28-30
The Lord wants you to come to Him.
When you are burdened, He will give you rest.
The Prodigal Son – Luke 15:11-32
God is always waiting with His arms wide open to welcome you back.
The enemy wants to keep you from the Lord because there is peace, rest, revelation, and refreshing in the Lord.
The enemy doesn’t want you rested and refreshed because when you are, you are able to fight. When you fight, you always win. He always loses.
God always wins.
You have:
the Name that’s above every name; (Phil. 2:9)
the Blood Covenant; (Heb. 9:11-28; Matt. 26:28; Mark 14:24; Luke 22:20; Heb. 13:20)
the Authority of Jesus’ Name; (Matt. 28:18; John 14:6, 13-14)
been redeemed from the curse; (Gal. 3:13) and
been freed from the power of the enemy. (Luke 10:19)
This is the time to take back everything that belongs to you. (1 Sam. 30:8)
This is the time to pursue, overtake, and recover all.
Governments and the globalists will not win against God.
God’s timing is perfect.
Prayer
Psalm 75:7
