POWER OF FAITH

I Peter 5: 6-9

Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of GOD, that He may exalt you in due time. Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you. Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary, the devil, like a roaring lion walketh about, seeking whom he may devour; whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

RESIST THE DEVIL AND HE WILL FLEA FROM YOU

The key to winning the battle over the assault of the devil is found in verse 6: Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of GOD, that He may exalt you in due time. Resisting the onslaught of the devil is not accomplished by the weapons of the flesh, but our weapons are mighty and victorious through JESUS. The greatest weapon that we have is the weapon of humble access to the Throne of Grace. The "roaring lion" can not find us, when we are under the shelter of the Almighty, covered with the Blood of JESUS.

To be sober and vigilant, we must be focused on the One who is Almighty; JESUS Christ. If we allow our sight to be drawn to other things, we loose power and the covering. Our focus must remain on the Word of the LORD; speaking the Word of the LORD to every circumstance and then standing on that Word without doubting.

"Faith is the victory that overcomes the world." 

Today's confession of faith:

I am encouraged, never to be discouraged ( I Samuel 30:6)
