The Victory over the evil of the world

Hey all.... Good Morning.. its VaZe here....

i wanna share with u a new devotion i have here... Its a powerful one, i assure u... These scriptures which i gonna share with u ppl really pulled me out of the mud when i hit the lowest points of my life.... I wanna this to be a great encouragement to u ppl when u are facing the downs of ur lives....

Wat are some of the downs of my life:
1. Results nt going ur way... Plenty of hardwork and input, yet, small results. U feel unfair as u think to urself why the earth is this happening? Its nt like i never do anything wat!!

2. People giving u a lot of discouragment - Persecutions from "friends" who mock ur belief, question and insult the faith, parents who dun understand the things u're going thru and blast u with a lot of nagging...

3. U dun seem to be able to rise up to fight the strongholds (sin and temptations). There is a sense of dissapointment, failure and the CMI (cannot make it, cannot overcome it) attitude

Wat the scriptures says:

#1 (From the life of David, the very moment when he challenged Goliath), 1 Sam 17:35:
David said to Goliath, "You have come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom u have defied. This day the Lord will hand u over to me, and I'll strike u down and cut off your head

One of the anchor verses of my life.... Versatile and powerful.... I quote this scripture practically everytime someone tries to shoot down my faith by insulting my faith and when the devil tries to tempt me with any crap and nonsense.... These people and the devil come against me with their spears, javelins and swords, all the physical things that they throw at me... Be it the temptation of the lust of the eye when a skimpy-dressed girl walks by, or the vulgarities hurled, and the jeering by people at my faith.... Yet, i counter all these physical attacks when I apply this Scripture.

I COME AGAINST ALL OF YOU IN THE NAME OF THE LORD GOD ALIMGHTY, WHOSE RIGHT ARM WORKS JUSTICE FOR HIM, WHO WIELD THE IRON SCEPTER OF JUDGMENT, WHOSE WORDS PIERCES THROUGH EVERY DIVIDING SOUL AND SPIRIT, JOINTS AND MARROW.... SO NOW, THE LORD IS GONNA LIFT ME UP AGAINST THIS TEMPTATIONS AND INSULTS, AND IN HIS NAME I WILL EXTERMINATE ALL THESE FALSE ARGUMENTS THAT TRIES TO SET ITSELF UP AGAINST ME AND THE LORD!!

yup!!! When u start to quote scriptures to fight back the crap thrown to u by the devil, its very effective as the words from the scriptures are the very Holy words of God, spoken by Him, imbued with His Spirit. From Ephesians 6, the word of God is the sword of the Spirit, the one hit KO weapon much stronger than the nuclear missile or hydrogen bomb... So start spiritual warfare with power drawn from His word!!!
