Bible verses: the power of God and prayers-part 2

We cannot defeat the devil in the flesh

Look in the book of:

2 Corinthians 10:4 

For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds,

The only way we can win this battle is by using Spiritual Weapons such as Prayer and Fasting.

We cannot defeat the devil with our flesh because he is not flesh

When we were out in the world we used to think we were in control we could conquer everything

Using our own strength.

But I’ve got news for you now as a Christian this kind of thinking is wrong

We cannot defeat the devil with our flesh.

It is only by God’s strength and might that enables us to win the battles in our lives and others.

Ephesians 6:10 - 11

10.  Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

11.  Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

There are a lot of Christians that are trying to win the battles in their lives and in others

Without the Armor of God.

This is the worst decision a Christian can make in their spiritual life.

Many Christians are spiritually streaking; they have no offense or defense against the powers of the devil.

Without the Armor of God it is easy for us to be defeated.

Think about this you have no protection you don’t have a weapon how are you going to fight?

All you will be able to do is run.

God did not intend for the Christian to run in battle

This is why the Bible says:

“Greater is he that is in me, than he that is in the world” It’s time for the church to get into the battle.

Deuteronomy 20:4  For the Lord your God is he that Goethe with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.

Remember this, above all things you never go into the battle alone.

The battle, for a Christian is not won outside of your closet.

It is more likely for you to win the battles of this world from the inside of your closet.

This is why the Bible says:

Matthew 6:6

  But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
