Vision Under Attack
It’s Not About You

Isaiah 54:17
No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me saith the Lord.

Luke 4:18-19
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the Gospel to the poor, he hath sent me to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised.

To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

Satan shows up dangerously when one is just about to walk in their ordained called purpose here in the earth. Satan, the adversary of God and man is always on the attack of the work of God. His attack against man spilled over from the attack he set out against God. He is the principality and spiritual wickedness man wrestles with in the earth.

His main purpose is to:
1. Destroy God’s purpose for man
2. Destroy Man’s Vision for his family
3. Seize and rule the earth

The attacks man through their senses, for he is no match for the Spirit of God. It has never been about man and never will be, the battle is the Lord’s.

Jesus the Son of God came under attack right as his ministry was getting ready to begin. All of his life from beginning to en was under attack. Satan knowing God as he did; was in Heaven with God and knew that Jesus would come in a prepared body from the beginning of the World. Just as he knew who Jesus was, he knows who you are too. Jesus was ordained to put some things in order, to establish God’s church in the earth. He acted out the role he was called to, understood the purpose for it, and had revelation of the vision, the plan and purpose for what he was sent to do. He had unusual discernment or foresight that no other man would ever have. He came for the Father God and knew first hand of Satan’s tactics, but would he conform to them since he was a natural man?

The vision under attack since God created man was now under attack again. This time against a God man, not one made of dirt. Satan depended on man’s natural senses working in Jesus as visited him momentarily in Luke 4:1-13. Jesus was denied of the natural things (food and water) he needed, but he gained spiritual fortitude by denying the flesh what it wanted. What if Jesus had been weak and gave into Satan’s attack, where would man be today?

If it took a denial for the redemption of man, why do they serve so much more of the flesh than spirit? They would rather serve the dirt they came from that worship and praise God in the Spirit. Had Jesus given up the Ghost to Satan rather than hold on to it, the world would be full of chaos. Man must learn to sacrifice and deny the flesh what it wants, especially when it harms the Spirit of God in them. If it does not line up with God’s Word. God’s vision in the life of man comes under attack through willful disobedience in the flesh. Flesh is more prevalent than the Spirit when its wants is not denied. The body wants speak loud and desires needs are even louder; so there is no denial in the life of the Christian. When the flesh is not denied, the spiritual needs are not met; therefore there is no soul survival in the earth. God, the Word, and Spirit all three work together in one.

Jesus did not argue with Satan, try to show him his point and did not blaspheme him for doing his job, he simply said, “It is written”. The Word speaks the Word and Satan flees at the Word, at the name of Jesus.

Its time the called, anointed, and appointed people of God realize that they are in a battle for their lives. The vision God gave man must come to pass and they must make it so. God uses men and women, he could have used flowers and trees to block Satan’s entrance into the earth but he made man to be the interceding agent that would stand in his stead and move out in his name. He gives men visions and that vision is always under the attack of the enemy.

As soon as man stop trying to play God they will realize that all that they do, see and acquire in this world belongs to God and the Devil is trying to tear down God’s Kingdom. Man also must be careful not to build kingdoms down here in the earth other than God’s, thy kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven. Its God will that no man be lost, but that they all come to repentance and fulfill vision for their lives.

He wants to keep man poor, poor in spirit that is; that they will not be delivered into the vision that God has ordained for their lives. It is man that can bless the work of the Lord so if he keeps them poor naturally, the work of the Lord will suffer. He also wrecks the lives of men and women, keeping them an emotional wreck that they are busy trying not to hurt rather than help the hurting and dying souls of other men.

Change Agents changes conditions and circumstances. It is Satan’s job that the broken- hearted hearts stay broken, keep them bound, captive and blind. God has mandated the Christian to set at liberty those that are bound through healing in the Word. When the vision of God is not built upon, people are never set free.

Man fails but God’s vision will be fulfilled through some one else, but because it is not about you, but God, you have to give an account for what you did not do.
