Read: 1 John 4:1-6
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4 KJV
Spiritual defeat happens when we think more about the negative things of life.
As Christians, we let our spiritual enemy, Satan, cause us to be afraid.
He has a way of getting us to focus on the bad more than the good.
Because he knows that the Word is true.
He is always trying to give us reason to doubt it.
He is a pro when it comes to false teachings.
That is why the Savior has told us to, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:” (1 Peter 5:8 KJV
Satan knows if he can get us to doubt the Word, we will do things the wrong way.
His mission is to conceal and misrepresent the truth.
Giving him the victory in our lives.
That is why we must focus on who we are in Christ.
We are His Children.
The Word is our guide to defeat Satan.
To defeat the many ways he tries to take control of our lives.
The Savior’s Divine teachings will always keep us humble.
His teachings will always give us the ability to know if something is not according to the Scriptures.
The more we read the Word, we can defeat all of the devil’s attempts to lead us in the wrong direction.
All our strength comes from the Lord.
We have the power of the Holy Ghost dwelling within us.
“Because greater is [He] that is in [us], than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4 KJV).
We will always have the guidance and understanding needed to live a prosperous life.
Victory will always be ours when we allow the Savior to take the lead in our lives.
A WORD OF PRAYER
Savior, the things the devil has planned for our lives are no match for the power we have through You. We are victorious. Especially, when we humble ourselves to Your teachings. We know the Word gives us the ability to recognize if something is not meant to be. How we have already overcome anything the devil can send our way. Help us to remain steadfast in the Word. The power of Your Word is great. Greater than anything we face in our lives. There is none like You. You are awesome in all Your ways. Thank You for the wisdom and knowledge You give us.
In Jesus’ Name We Pray, Amen
