Overcoming Spiritual warfare
As Christians we sometimes face spiritual attack from the enemy especially on our minds. He likes to tell us lies like we are not good enough or talented enough to follow our dreams. Sometimes he will try to convince us that we are beyond saving after we have fallen in sin again, scheming for a way to severe our relationship with Jesus. Putting us in a shame spiral that we are so preoccupied in that we don't want to spend time with Jesus in his word or in prayer (to face Him after what we have done). The enemy does this because he knows his fate at the end, that Jesus conquered the grave and the second death so we wouldn't have to bear it as along as we believe and abide in Him. So, he hurts Jesus, the only way he can, by going after us his children, our minds and so that he won't be alone in his punishment. Thats why it is crucial to study God's word daily, it is the best offence against the lies of the devil. James 4:7 "Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you." If you draw near to Jesus and confess your sins he will draw near to you. Ephesians 6:10-18 talks about putting on the whole armor of God, praying always, being watchful and persevering to the end. If we remain in Jesus by spending time in His word, applying it to our lives, praying always with thanksgiving, worshiping God in spirit and truth for who he is, we will be better equipped to resist the enemy's lies and spiritual attacks.
Romans 8:38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
