No Weapon

Matthew 11: 12 - 'From the days of John the Baptist until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force...'

As children of the Most High God, we can not afford to have the mentality in which we are waiting for the enemy to do something; no, we must press the battle to the gates! We have to take the initiative because we are on the winning side. As Shadrach said, 'Our God is able to deliver us, and even if He doesn't...let it be known to you O king, we will not bow...' This is the true position of victory!!

Why are you afraid of the enemy? Why are you intimidated by him? He's defeated, and there is nothing he can do to stop you! The only threat to advancing the Kingdom is your own carnality and / or selfishness. The devil can't stop us, so how is it that we've come to a grinding hault? Well, the first place we must look is our own hearts.

Psalms 34: 17 - 19, 'The righteous cry out and the Lord hears, and He delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.'

Give our Lord something to work with! We all know that God will not put up with or tolerate a prideful person who refuses to trust God. He gave us the answer in the Old Testament concerning victory in His name...


2 Chronicles 7:14 - 'If My people who are called by My name would pray, seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways - then I will hear from heaven, I will forgive their sin, and I will heal their land.'

First, it's important to make sure that we are His people! Secondly, a prayer life is vital to our walk in Christ. Third, if we are to call upon the name of Jesus, then we're gonna have to let go of what we were calling upon before!

Genesis 35: 2 - 'And Jacob said to his household and all who were with him, "Put away your foreign gods that are among you, purify yourselves, and change your garments."'

Once our hearts are lined up with His will, there is no stopping us! The answer is very simple...trust in the Lord, do His will, and you will NEVER lose.
