Documentaries are especially effective when they bring to light something you may not have otherwise known about.

2y ago41:42

41:42

Does the devil attack us even harder when we're making progress? Is God trying to teach us a lesson through tragedy and pain? Isn't He sovereign? How can Satan be the god of this world if we have been given authority over him? How do we exercise authority over the devil? Is there such thing as a "Jezebel" spirit? How do we know if a sickness is a s…

Can Satan read our minds? How do I know if my thoughts are from the devil, God, or if they're just me? Can the devil be everywhere at once? How can the devil put sickness and disease on a believer when the believer has the life of God in them? If Satan is defeated why do we see believers suffering and dying before their time? Does Satan accuse us b…

2y ago41:44

41:44

Over the course of this series, we have learned that the ONLY weapon the enemy has against us - the ONLY way he can successfully steal, kill or destroy - is if he can convince us to listen to his lies, arguments, reasonings, and opinions, which are, his THOUGHTS. And you might say, but how can I possibly know which of the thoughts that I have about…

The best defence is a good offence! We don’t have to wait until we’re in a battle to start defending ourselves against the enemy, we can use the spiritual strategies that God has given us to fortify ourselves so well that the enemy never even has the opportunity to gain any ground!

2+ y ago45:06

45:06

Over the last few months, we have been getting to know our adversary, the devil. Why is this so important? Because in 2 Corinthians 2:11 God tells us that if we are NOT unaware of his schemes (his devices), he will NOT be able to get advantage of us! And in 1 Peter 5:8 God tells us that if we are sober and vigilant (are fully aware of and have our …

42:19

The fight of faith isn't to GET healed, GET free from emotional turmoil, GET free from financial or relationship struggles, or GET anything else that the blood of Jesus paid for - the fight of faith is to ENFORCE what we already have and who we already are - healed, blessed, protected, having perfect peace in every area of our lives. The fight of f…

If the devil can't steal the Word, he can't have our health, our finances, our relationships, our peace, our protection, or anything else that God has already given us by His grace. The primary way he steals the Word is through lies, arguments, reasonings, and suggestions that contradict what the Word tells us we have and who the Word tells us we a…

30:16

The devil's number one purpose is to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but he can't kill or destroy unless he is first successful in stealing. What does he steal? He first has to steal THE WORD (Mark 4:15) - the Word that tells us that we are healed, are blessed, have a covenant of protection, have peace and everything else Jesus died to give …

087 - Know Thy Adversary Part 11 30:17

3y ago30:17

30:17

In John 10:10, God tells us that the thief (Satan) comes not but to steal, kill and to destroy. Notice that he starts by "stealing". Satan's primary objective, his sole purpose, is to first steal, because if he is successful in stealing, he can then go on to kill and destroy. But as we learned in the previous episodes, Satan cannot just come in and…

"If I've given the enemy an "open door", does this mean that I can't receive my healing, deliverance, or anything else I'm believing God for?" In the last few episodes, we've seen in the Word that the enemy needs us to cooperate with him in order to accomplish any of his wicked plans in our lives. The number one way he deceives us into cooperating …

41:14

We often hear people say, "You just have to have faith!" But do you know that faith alone isn't enough? God tells us in James 2:26 that faith has to have corresponding action if we want the results - the healing, protection, wisdom and peace - the Word promises us. We have to be DOERS of the Word and not hearers only. (James 1:22) When we are DOERS…

Under the New Covenant, our ONLY requirement from God (or commandment) is to love our neighbour as we love ourselves. So when we give place to fear, negative emotions about ourselves/other people, or speak death-filled words about ourselves/other people, we are breaking the commandment of love. When we break the commandment of love, we are giving p…

Part 7 Our enemy, the devil, is sly, cunning, and subtle. He doesn't march up to us with horns and a pitchfork and demand that we give him access to our lives, he has to use craftiness and deceit to trick us into giving him place and power that he no longer has.
