FATHER


It is undeniable that until today, there are believers who still get tricked by the Devil. While in truth, the Devil has been defeated; all sin effects in believer's life have been redeemed by the sacrifice of Christ. On the other hand, believers as New Creations have been given the power to silence the enemy's mouth and works (Ps 8:3), and also to destroy every work of the enemy in their life (Eph 6:10-13).

Supposedly, every believer could enjoy the increasing reality of life as the righteous - keeps getting brighter to the full day (Prov 4:18).

Once again, however, the reason why the word hasn't been realised in every believer is due to the enemy's success in snaring believers using their lies.

1. The Devil will keep exploiting every weakness and limitations we still have in this 'metamorphoo' transformation phase; by making us feel unworthy before God, feeling spiritually weak, etc.

It is normal for a believer to yet reach the fullness of Christ; we are all in the process of perfection by the work of the Spirit and the word. It is normal if in our transformation, we still experience a few downfall here and there, some weaknesses and failures in doing the word. What we need to ensure is that every time we are walking in inaccuracy, we obey our conscience's rebuke; respond in repentance. Father always receive our repentance; He will even give the Spirit of truth to help guide us back to walk into all truth (1 John 1:8-10, 1 John 2:1-2, John 16:13).

2. The Devil will use the deceitfulness of riches, the evil days and the difficult times to sow the seed of anxiety into believers' life.

~Deceitfulness of riches (Mat 13:22) is the Devil's wile that makes someone feels powerless if they don't have enough money. This will send them to acquire the desire to be rich. The Devil successfully corrupts someone's faith life when they start to love money and chase after them, or by having the desire to be rich.
Through pursuing after riches, many believers lost God's favour in their life (1 Tim 6:9-10 & 17).

~The evil days (Eph 5:16) talks about the hardships of life.
The enemy has created the world's economic system to ensure that everyone who wants to buy and sell to have 'the mark' in their arms and forehead. The sign talks about exertion of humanistic skill and strength (Rev 13:16-18, Yer 17:5-6). Believers who are snared in the evil days will be tempted to keep relying on their own power to 'survive' in their day-to-day life.

~The difficult times (2 Tim 3:1) talks about the various situation, circumstances and life facts that are terrifying, worrying and dangerous. Truly, the world we live in is increasingly 'inhospitable' - there are all kinds of pollution (air, water, food, etc) that highly endangers our health. There are many kinds of emerging viruses, immune to various modern medications, etc.

All these successfully grown anxiety in the life of believers. They keep feeling emotional and mental pressure. They lose their peace and joy given by the Holy Spirit - while it is actually the strength of believers (1 Thes 1:6).

3. Fight all works of the enemy by using steadfast faith!

Believer's life must be fully established on the word God has said, not the existing facts (Rm 1:7, Gal 2:20).

Meaning, if our daily life facts is different to what God has decreed, we must struggle and fight! Our form of struggle is by continuously imagining and declaring the word we have received until our emotion or heart becomes stirred full of enthusiasm.
If so far believers are bound by various worries, now is the time for believers to be filled with blazing faith and hope!

1 Pet 5:9 emphasised that our steadfastness in faith is akin to an adamant person - unyielding towards the circumstances, only looking forward to the realisation of what God has spoken!

There is a sense of determination, enforcing or insisting in their declaration of the word.

This is the time for every believer to push back all their enemies. #iLoveGod (Ps. Steven Agustinus
