Reality check friends, you have an enemy. An Enemy on the Prowl. The message in this episode isn’t meant to scare you.
Our purpose is to issue a loud wake-up call for your heart, mind, soul, and body.
More often than not, we don’t believe we have to deal with an actual enemy. But he is alive and active, taking shape in issues from our past and battles in our present.
There’s only one creature made in the image and likeness of God- that’s you. Satan can’t stand that. He’s been on the prowl since Adam and Eve.
Listen in to learn more about the enemy and prepare a battle plan. Because you, friend, are designed with an authority and an invitation to fight him.
Highlights:
The enemy’s goal is to isolate us, to split us off from ourselves, from other people, and from God.
It is helpful to recognize this is the enemy of my soul trying to steal my joy, my attention, and all the good and perfect gifts from the Father of Lights.
If we are trying to grow in whatever area in our life and we are unaware or naively believing that the enemy is primarily going to leave us alone, sometimes we’ll end up vilifying ourselves or another person.
The accuser is lying and telling you that your sexual sin defines you.
Homework:
Questions to consider: Where in your life do you experience the sense that God is doing something mean to you? Or maybe that He’s holding out on you or not changing you in the way that you want or He’s leaving you alone? Could it be that the enemy is both attacking you in that area and then blaming God for it?
- BE ON THE ALERT: The devil is on the prowl.
- TAKE NOTICE: Ask yourself - Is this accusation? Is it temptation? Is it confusion? These can be the enemy trying to work in your life.
- COME AGAINST HIM. Pray; “In the name of Jesus, I silence this voice. I belong to Jesus. I don’t belong to you. In the name of Jesus, I rebuke you. I silence you in the name of Jesus.”
Extras:
