Moving forward in the victory, God has given us.
Pastor: Daniel Mbiwan August 2, 2009.
Key passage: Luke 11 v 14-28
It is of key importance, to maintain what we have attained through faith. Whatever Jesus has done is permanent, since He is eternal. When we take a look at the beautiful Technical schools the government of Canada offered to Cameroon, we can almost immediately (sadly) also notice the lack of maintenance of the same.
HOW do we MAINTAIN?
Scripture Focus:
Luke 4 v 13… The devil will come back at an opportune time.
Luke 10 V20 …It is more important your name is written in heaven
Luke 11v24-28 ….When an evil spirit comes out of a man…
Throughout the month of July, we focused on prayer and ended up with deliverance. God has shown us how to pray authoritatively, receive deliverance etc. The devil however, is faithful to his business of 'going around'! Do not let your life be an 'Airport' for him.
LESSONS FROM THE VERSES
A. A relationship gives authority (If you have believed, you do not have to be afraid of demons).
1. Authority does not come from declaration only but from an authentic relationship with Jesus.
2. Victory will continue, not by some magic formula but through a right relationship with Jesus
Discuss Acts 19V 13-16
B. IS YOUR NAME written in heaven?
1. There is a book of records in heaven. Those who turn away from the Lord will be forsaken (Jer 17v13).
2. We have the privilege of an assigned personal guardian Angel, when we are in a relationship with Jesus and have our names written in heaven (Psalms 34 v 7)
C. HAVE CHILDLIKE Faith
Moving forward with Kingdom authority & power is simply through childlike faith (Luke 10:21). Please note that victory comes only because we are related to the ALMIGHTY God and not because we are mighty men ( 1 Cor 1 V25-30). Our lives are hidden with Christ in God (Col 3 v2). Stay in the rock, the Ancient of Days.
D. BEWARE of DECEPTION.
Deception is satan's greatest weapon (John 8v31).
1. Don't believe his lie. Jesus died, rose again and defeated the devil. Stand on that truth (Eph 6v14, 1 John 3v8, John 10v10, 1 Pet 5v5)
2. Don't believe the lies of the devil that your past is still the same. The enemy comes to steal, but Jesus came to set the captives free!
You are special,
Innocent
