MAINTAINING THE RIGHT ATMOSPHERE
ISAIAH 26:3
Let the peace of God be your umpire, Colossians 3:15. Who is an umpire? A person chosen torender a decision in a dispute; judge; arbiter.
The promise of peace is what Jesus gave to us, "My peace I give unto you", you must watch and guard that peace closely, John 14:27.
One proof that your heart is stayed on him is perfect peace, Isaiah 26:3. Let this peace of God be your judge or arbitrar in any decision making process.
Let peace settle it. Jesus is tge prince of peace. When He is in a place, peace is present.
Anytime the devil wants to strike he must first change your atmosphere to look like his own.
Always make sure that these 5 things are present in your atmosphere and environment, peace, joy, gratitude/thanksgiving, love.
Lack of gratitude is how the devil hardens our heart towards God and magnify our problems, situation, circumstances and challenges, 2Timothy3:1&2.
If you can maintain these 5 things in any kind of situation you will win. Before you can lose you must lose these 5 things first.
Always check these 5 things in the morning in the middle of the day and at night begore you sleep.
They are like the basic things that you should check in a car before driving out in the morning.
They are what will ensure you have a smooth running day.
You may say the right things but not have a right environment or atmosphere in your heart.
That wrong heart atmosphere will cancel your confession and open the door of your life to the devil, Proverbs 23:7.
It is the God of peace that will crush satan under your feet shortly, Romans 16:20.
The joy of the lord is your strength in any spiritual battle and spiritual battles has physical manifestation, Nehemiah 8:10.
Lack of gratitude is a sign that you are low on faith and that your heart is gradually becoming hardened towards God, Romans 4:20
Lack of thanksgiving weakens your faith and open the door to fear.
You abound in faith through thanksgiving, Colossians 2:5-7, Romans 4:19&20.
Love is possible under any kind of situation and circumstance not because people are lovable or because the situation and circumstance are friendly but because the love of God has been shed abroad in our heart by the Holy Spirit, Acts 7:59&60.
A kind of love that is not people or situation dependent is possible for every believer, because the Holy Spirit shed it abroad in our heart when he came to indwell us, Romans 5:5
If you know what position love holds in your walk with God and in your keeping the right environment and sending the devil away frim you, you will fight to protect the love of God in your heart.
Anything that wants to corrupt your love and motive you will fight because that is how the devil works.
He brings offences to corrupt our love and motive. So you must be on the watch against corruption of your love for God and for men as well as your motive.
We are not free at any time; lucifer started with a pure heart until corruption was found in him and he became satan, Ezekiel 28:15.
Watch out against anything that corrupt your love for God and His work and men. The chiefest is offences and next to offences is pride, Matthew 11:6.
There is provision in the kingdom for mortality to be swallowed up by immortality , corruption by incorruption.
No corruption could be found in Jesus, Psalms 16.
The fifth is the power of testimony. You want to overcome the devil, keep the testimonies of Gods faithfulness in your life and that of others before you at all times.
Let the testimonies of Gods goodness be your atmosphere that you are constantly basking in.
Before the devil can attack you and win in any battle. He will have to strip you of these five things first, peace, joy, love, thanksgiving/gratitude, keeping the testimonies before you at all times.
When your peace is under attack and is stolen. What it is replaced with is worry, anxiety, doubt; fear, unbelief.
When your heart is set upon Jesus at all times, perfect peace is the result, Isaiah 26:3.
When your joy is under attack, what replaces it is discouragement, sorrow, depression.
When these things are present, what is stolen or under attack is joy. If not quickly restored it will eventually lead to a state of hopelessness, despondency and suicide.
When your love is under attack or stolen; what replaces it is hatred for God, His things and His people, hatred for men, you will be remebring things he has not done and the evil that others have done for you rather than the good they have done.
What follows is bitterness, anger, jealousy, envy e.t.c.
When your thanksgiving life is under attack what is stolen is the testimony of the faithfulness of God in your life. Your heart becomes hardened against God, Romans 1:21.
Then you will become vain in your imaginations what these means is that you will exalt things above God and attribute the glory that should go to God to things or men.
The result is a darkened heart. When your heart is darkened you are like a man in a room with no light.
The devil can strike you from anywhere and you won't know where he is attacking from because you are in the dark.
When you begin to become unthankful, know that what the devil is trying to do to you is to switch off all the light and keep you in the dark before he launches his attack, Romans 1:21&22.
Come to think of it, if the devil can actually attack anyhow he wants; he won't spend time planning and fashioning which weapon to use against you, 1Peter 5:8
He has to study and study and study before he launches his attack.
He is not as powerful, he has been stripped of his powers. Deception, ignorance and your living in sin are the only power he has to use against you, 2Thessalonians 2:10
This is why you must fight ignorance in your life by getting knowledge, knowledge is light, Isaiah 33:6
You must fight sin because it leaves an opening in your life that the devil can come through.
When you understood this nobody will beg you to get knowledge or not to sin. You will do it because, you now know their implication, Ephesians 4:17&18
PRAYER: FATHER UNMASK THE DEVIL AND HIS SCHEMES IN MY LIFE. OPEN MY EYES TO SEE THE STRATEGY HE IS USONH AGAINST ME. I SHUT DOWN EVERY ACCESS THAT THE DEVIL HAS INTO MY LIFE BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS.
PEACE
SALVATION PRAYER
Anything short of you being born again and living a life of holiness and purity hurt Jesus so much. But you can make things right here and now by saying this simple prayer and mean it genuinely from your heart:
Lord Jesus I come to you today. I acknowledge that I am a sinner and I cannot help myself. I repent of all my sins and I forsake them. Jesus, I invite you into my life, be my Lord, be my Saviour.
Wash me by your precious blood, forgive my sins and write my name in the book of life. From this day, I promise to follow you all the rest of my life. Help me Lord, in Jesus name, Amen. Congratulations you are now born again!
PEACE
