Winning Every Battle

Jesus said. “How can one enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house (Mathew 12:29).

Satan knows well that the best way to keep one of God’s children from being affective is to bind them. He may use fear, anxiety, addictions or doubt. His only power is what we lend him through our thoughts. But we can win every battle.

Here is a list of effective weapons

1. Bringing thoughts captive (2 Cor 10:5)
2. Focusing our attention on godly things (Philippians 4:8).
3. Always speaking truth to ourselves as well as others (Ephesians 6:14
4. Making every decision based on righteousness (Ephesians 6;14)
5. Reminding ourselves that the good news brings us peace (Ephesians 6:15)
6. Destroying Satan’s attacks by standing in the faithfulness of God (Ephesians 6:16)
7. Reminding us we are saved so have nothing to fear (Ephesians 6:17
8. Using the word of God when confronted by Satan (Ephesians 6:17).
9. Praying for God’s intervention (Ephesians 6:18)

We don’t have to allow Satan to rob us of our peace.
