1 | Does satan's army have military ranking? | Rom 8:37 | CDBJ | 41158 | ||
When you say that Satan is under your feet you have a lot more nerve then I do in light of Jude 1:9 Jude 1:9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. I strongly believe that we should do as Paul recommended. Epees. 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. The next verse is where I might have a problem. Ephes. 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. When Paul says put on, that means there is a process in doing this. The problem is there are times when I can't dress fast enough. Even the Romans didn't have there armour on all the time and don't think that the devil doesn't know our weak spots when we aren’t covered. 1 Cor. 10:12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. I do a lot of hunting and a Lion is an easy target to spot the worst problem is the wolf that is dressed up like a cute little sheep and the wood are full of them now days,if you know what I mean! Even with all these warnings I have my biggest problem with my own old sin nature. I have a continuous little war going on in my head with the two natures that I now posses and believe me I claim 1Jonn 1:9, a good part of the time. 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Satan loves to get us in a position where we are naturalized. He doesn't have any claim to the believers in Christ, but if he can get us to mess-up good, he knows that it will ruin our testimony for Christ, so that people won't listen to us anymore. We have to live the life if we are going to talk the talk! Have you ever heard the saying, (What you are doing speaks so loud that I can't hear what you are saying!) Satan's works aren’t over yet because Jesus is still seated at the Father's right hand. Don't let pride get the upper hand and cause a fall. Proverbs 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. Be real careful before lifting your self up before the enemy! In Christ love,CDBJ |

Once again I agree with you, I don't contend with the devil, I rebuke him, I put him under my foot! I don't have any more nerve than yourself, you have the same authority. I'm not standing on my own strength, I'm bold to stand on Gods Word. It's not about me, it's about Christ in my life. Do I make mistakes? Do I fall short? Am I human, yes. We learn from our mistakes, but it's wiser to learn from other people's mistakes to avoid them in our own lives. The battle that our troops are fighting today is a different battle we fought in Viet Nam, our weapons are improved, the troops are more skilled, in fact it's a different enemy. Some of us are still using the same armor that the Romans used. God never changes, we use the same principles that Paul speaks of. You're right satan knows our weakness, but are we improving and strengthening our skills? I'm dealing with my own sin nature also, but I apply "dying to my ownself everyday". I'm not a hunter and I don't hunt for satan, don't have to, every morning when I rise he knows I'm up, he doesn't like all that Praising and Worship. My statements come from my belief in God and His Word, hey I was on my to hell and God saved me. There's purpose in my life and God will take me to my destiny, and He equipped with everything I need to get there, if I don't use what he gave me it's my fault. Walk the walk? Talk the talk? yeah I did that in the world also, God turned it around. That's why I was a failing in the world, thought I had it all together until I lined myself with the Word of God. Believe me I'm open to Godly council, but I'm not going to walk around looking defeated to please anyone. Philippians 4:6 says to be careful for nothing.... Let me conclude by saying, I believe in God, His Word, His healing, His gifts and the whole package that we inherited. Especially the Love and Joy. Well, must close for now my brother because my fight is not with you or any of the brethren and sistern :) Time to go Worship The Lord. God bless you on this day as we celebrate The Resurrection. P.S. Don't forget to take your armor with you, yes even in Church |
