Fighting With God: Understanding the wisdom of spiritual warfare part 1

The word of God says in 2 Chronicles 20:15 "He said, “Listen, all you people of Judah and Jerusalem! Listen, King Jehoshaphat! This is what the Lord says: Do not be afraid! Don’t be discouraged by this mighty army, for the battle is not yours, but God’s." So if the battle is not ours and it belongs to the Lord, then why do I need to fight spiritually? Well, the battle belongs to God, meaning that the battle has already been won BUT we have to participate in the "war" . the Bible give so many examples of physical and most of all spiritual warfare and what is our part as believers. We have been graced with a certain measure of faith and authority that comes from God but with this authority we have to steward and sharpen our authority according to the word. 2 Corinthians 2 :10-11, tells us to walk a certain pathway that we may be aware of the schemes of the enemy. Here is the truth: when we are ignorant of Satan’s strategies, he is able to take things from us that belong to us in Jesus, things like peace, joy, fellowship, a sense of forgiveness, and victory.Ephesians 6 tells us to put on the whole armor of God because we wrestle not against flesh and blood. We as believers can no longer sit on the sidelines and pretend we are not in a spiritual battle but the hoe we have is knowing that the battle is not ours but it belongs to the Lord. Let's dive into this series about spiritual warfare and how God has called us to fight.

Let's Pray!, See it, don't Excuse it.

Today's prayer we are continuing our discussion of " A beautiful Heart of Repentance". Ya'll know I love to pray. The beauty about being a believer is we have direct access to God. John 14:13 Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. When we ask in the name of Jesus , we should believe that it is so. God desires us to come to Him in all forms and about any and everything. Today, we are asking Him to open our eyes to our sins. We shouldn't assume that all people including ourselves know what is sin or not. God does not reveal what is all wrong the moment we become saved. He is so kind to reveal things in specific time and season. We are praying for the Lord to reveal to us our personal sins and weights. Reveal to us the language we use to excuse "the sin". We can no longer excuse it but see it so we can be free from it.Let's PrayScripture references: Romans 8:35-392 Corinthians 5:21

A heart of Repentance

We are back!!! YAY! I am so thankful to be back. This season we are going to dive deeper into the word of God and really examine our relationship with Christ. My heart desires is to learn of Him more and more. It is not about the material things while that is a blessing , the focus needs to be on our relationship with our Savior. We are starting this season off with repentance. I know this topic is not spoken of much but we need to talk about it and learn more of it. As a kid or a young adult repentance was spoken of as a duty not as a privilege. Maybe a preacher was yelling it over the pulpit and you felt bad for being a sinner or felt bad for sinning. While I am not trying to dismiss those moments, I would like for us to respond to His kindness and love for us.We have the privilege to ask for forgiveness as much as possible. But what is the different between asking for forgiveness and repenting. Let's talk Scripture focus: 2 Chronicles 7:14
