Lesson 3 Spiritual Conflict
Lesson 3 Spiritual Conflict
Introduction:
T
he Father Almighty that we are serving is a Father of victory. So as His
Sons and Daughters, we too will become victorious in our lives.
However, we have to defeat first our number one enemy - our self;
since Satan Lucifer the devil is no longer in power so we cannot blame him
anymore. Now we know that we commit sin if we do our own will, and set
aside the Will of the Father.
1. To steal
What does Satan steal from us?
a. Praise.
The number one thing that Satan Lucifer the devil
steals from us is our praise. Praise is the evidence of
the presence of the Father. It is for this reason that
the devil tries to shut our mouth to stop us from
praising the Father and in time, it will cost us our
spiritual life. We must therefore praise the Father in
whatever circumstances we may be. An example is
the spirituality of Job. He kept on thanking and
praising the Father even in his affliction (Job 1:6-21;
Job 2: 1-10).
b. Faith
Our faith is our source of life in the Father Almighty.
Satan Lucifer the devil tries to steal our faith because
without faith, we cannot please God (Hebrews 11:6).
We must therefore hold on to our faith because the
devil wants to destroy our faith to lead us to
condemnation. God is there to strengthen our faith,
as it is our means of communication with Him.
2. To kill
Satan Lucifer the devil has been a murderer since from the
beginning. He never holds onto the truth; for there is no truth in
him. (John 8:44).
3. To destroy
II. What is our role in this spiritual battle? Or how would you
fight your enemies spiritually?
Every Son and Daughter plays a major role in this spiritual conflict.
B. By Prayer
Prayer has done wonders when used in combination with faith
and trust. It helps to attain power over our enemies, and helps
develop faith (Matthew 4:1-11; Matthew 17:14-21).
We must not rely or trust in our own strength but instead trust
and lean
on the power of the Father. Let us always invoke the Father in
our
everyday activity; and praise Him no matter what circumstances
we may
have (Romans 8:28).
1. The Lord will give us ultimate triumph over evil influence of men.
(Peer pressure). Psalm 44:5
2. The Lord will give us ultimate triumph over malign spiritual
forces. Luke 10:19
3. The Lord will give us power to triumph over all satanic forces.
Revelation 15:2
4. The Lord promised us robes of righteousness. Revelation 3:5
5. The Lord promised to make us a pillar in the temple of God.
6. They that overcome will be enthroned together with Him.
Revelation 3:21
7. The Father promised us our eternal inheritance. Revelation 2:7.
Conclusion
Just like what the Appointed Son of God has said, As I have done it,
you can do it also.
