Persist In Resisting - The Exhortation

In my last blog I shared with you Persist in Resisting. I am going to continue on with this thought with a word of exhortation and encouragement, along with an example so that you can prevail in the midst of any situation you are faced with.

The exhortation for you today is, all that Jesus accomplished through His death, burial and resurrection provided all who believe with victory. We are not fighting for victory. We are fighting from a place of victory. Once you once you receive the revelation of what He has already done, you will begin to fight and insist on living and walking in the victory God has given you. It may take a while, and may not be easy, but if you persist you will have the victory that is promised to you.

The Bible declares in Ephesians 6:10-12, "Finally, my brethren, be  strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put  on the whole  armor of God, that ye may be  able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take  unto you the whole  armor of God, that ye may be  able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

God has instructed us to be strong in Him and how to stand because we are in a fight against principalities, powers and hosts of wickedness. Although we have the victory, the war wages on because the devil doesn't want you to prevail in the kingdom. He is spit fire mad because you don't belong to him anymore so he is doing all in his power to keep believers despondent, depressed and discouraged.

Why all this persisting? Why all this resisting? Why the warfare? Because the devil is trying to punk you down and get you to believe that the Word of God is not true! So, in your persisting, you must exercise the authority we all have been given over the enemy. Did you get that? I said, you MUST exercise YOUR authority. I have to exercise MY authority. We have to decide by the power of God that NOT BE PUNKED DOWN BY THE DEVIL ANOTHER DAY!

Look again at what the Word says. Luke 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by  any  means hurt you. Matthew 10:1 And when he had called  unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast  them  out, and to heal all  manner of sickness and all  manner of disease. Acts 10:38 How God anointed  --  Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went  about doing  good, and healing all that  were  oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

Since these verses are true, confront the demonic forces that are behind these thoughts with them. When you do, the migraines, money issues, depression, discouragement or whatever you are faced with has to flee. God has given you the power and authority, so excercise it! Excersize your God given authority and see the salvation of our God!

I'm here to tell you that when you persist, you will not fail! You WILL BE delivered! Therefore, don't punk down! PUSH! Pray until something happens! PRESS! Put Resolute Energy Into Standing Strong! The enemy knows you are prone to quit and give up, so don't! He also knows that if you persist he will be the one punked down! If you just persist in resisting the devil with what is written in the Word of God, HE WILL FLEE (James 4:7)!

Meditate on these words today and let them be strong encouragement for your soul! Whatever you may be faced with, the Greater One lives on the inside of you and has already given you the victory! Keep persisting! Keep resisting! The battle is the Lord's and He has already given the victory! To God be the Glory!

Prevailing in Him,

Dr. Sheila
