Ephesians 6:12 – “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”
God wants you to have a life and have it life more abundantly. Devil wants to kill, steal, and destroy your life. We see how Satan influenced Peter in Matthew 16:22 "Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “Far be it from You, Lord; this shall not happen to You!” But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan!..." Jesus looked at Peter, but He was speaking to Satan. Anytime, the enemy tries to come and take from you what God has given you or try to stop you from fulfilling the will of God, it is the devil involved. Peter objected Jesus because he was influenced by the devil.
You got to understand you either turn yourself over to be influenced by God or you will turn yourself over to be influenced by the devil, but the devil cannot influence you. Jesus recognized that it was Satan speaking through Peter not to do the will of God. We as Christians don’t recognize there is spiritual battle going on. We just limit to be in a level of human natural situation.
Your mind is wide open and that is the realm where Satan is going to work. He wants to deceive you, he wants to lie to you, he wants to influence you, and if you are not in the Word and not understand the spiritual battle going on, he will be successful with that. You got to understand that when things happen, those things don’t just happen. You come out of a bad situation and you just think you came out of your own.
This is one of the testimonies I heard. Four Pastors were travelling to attend to a ministry, and on the way, the devil tried to wipe off their lives through a grinding four-car crash. The accident was so severe that the four cars smashed into pieces and one Pastor was thrown from the car smashing into the windshield. People over there in that area believed that there could be no one alive, but a miracle took place that all the four Pastors were alive and no one was seriously injured. One the same day, one Pastor went and preached to the congregation saying “We went through a fiery furnace today, and we came out where we didn’t have a smell of smoke. He said, who can be thrown from a car smashing into windshield and then hit another car and coming back alive, the answer is, a person that has the blessing on his life.” The gathering in the church on that day was all about miracles.
Being alive from this kind of accident is not natural, being thrown from a car instead of being decapitated is not natural. There were spiritual forces protecting their lives, there were demonic forces trying to destroy their lives. There is a “Satan” and there is a “God,” and then there is “You” and you are going to recognize that you are in a battle. This incident did not just happen because it was supposed to happen, it was just like an explosion that devil tried to wipe of these Pastors lives but God had sent His angels to keep them alive from this accident.
It is not natural for you to be in debt and be able to pay the bills month after month. It is not natural for you to have a disease and come out of that where doctor did not know what had happened. It is not natural, there is a spiritual influence and battle going on. We got to be conscious of God’s Word and His will for our life. We command the Lord’s works in our life and choose to live a life of abundance rather than giving opportunity for the spiritual forces to work in our life.
GO AGAINST THE SPIRITUAL FORCES AND WIN IN LIFE FOR GOD IS BACKING YOU UP!!!
