Conquering the Enemy [podcast]

The Conquering Cross of Christ [podcast]

Your greatest enemy is self, not Satan. Satan is only conquered as self is crucified and Christ is reigning in your life.

Those who have sin have demons. Read 1 John 3:3-10. And we can yell and scream at Satan till we’re blue in the face but he doesn’t have to leave as long as sin reigns in the life of the person being prayed for – whether self or someone else. The principle of the cross, dying and being buried, is the only solution to conquering sin and Satan. Works every time! See James 4:7.

BECAUSE JESUS CHRIST ROSE AGAIN, ALL WHO ARE BORN AGAIN IN HIM ARE RAISED UP SPIRITUALLY IN THIS LIFE TO OVERCOME ALL SIN, SATAN, AND THE WORLD, AND WILL BE SOON RAISED UP INTO ETERNAL GLORY WITH HEAVEN’S KING.

The best and most important and most fruitful thing you will ever do is to seek the face of the LORD.

“Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.” 1 Chronicles 16:11 

Nothing yields higher dividends both now and forever.

“Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.” Psalms 42:7

Those who truly love God are learning today to endure sound doctrine – to peer into and migrate to raw, hard biblical truth, holding themselves accountable to it! Read 2 Timothy 4:2-4. True disciples of Jesus don’t seek out FAKE “BIBLES” or fake preachers to tickle their ear. In contrast, counterfeits evade, migrate away from hard truth to their own eternal demise. Instead of crucifying the deeds of the body, they run to fake preachers, wolves who feed their lusts and their love for the things of this world (James 4:4; 1 John 2:15). Eternal damnation awaits.

The cross vision is the vision of how God ordains your life to work. As you love, worship, and obey the LORD, worshiping Him with the whole of your being, His love is going to fill you and be poured out through you to others. In the cross-life, self-absorption is replaced with Savior consumption. As death works in you, Christ’s life is going to work through you!

“So then death worketh in us, but life in you.” 2 Corinthians 4:12 

As we choose to “take root downward” He who is “the resurrection and the life” is going to cause us to “bear fruit upward” (John 11:25).

“And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward (death and burial), and bear fruit upward (resurrection):” Isaiah 37:31

When we allow God to consume and conquer self, the Savior will raise up and reign in our lives!

Feel like hell is unleashed on you? Being oppressed? God is using this season to bring you afresh to Himself, to repent afresh, return fully, wholly, without reservation to Him. Lay down your life today and submit to the cross Christ commanded you to take up. Submit to being truly crucified with Christ. Resurrection victory will follow, without exception.

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. 25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. 26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.” John 12:24-26

The cross life means we are following Jesus who conquered sin and Satan by dying.

“Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.” Hebrews 2:14-15

Jesus conquered by dying and not by rising up in His own self-will.

You can say the words “Get thee behind me Satan” all day long to no avail (Luke 4:8). It’s only as you are submitted to God in the cross life that Satan must flee from the rebuke of your life and mouth! Read the following verse carefully:

“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:7

“Submit is the key in order to resist…..when I came to an understanding of ‘submit’ I knew then I could resist the devil and he did flee….WOW, how powerful is The Word Of God…” Marlene

Only when you are humbled downward, submitted to God in dying, will Christ’s authority possess you, and the devil must flee due to having no more legal right to you.

“For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” Romans 8:13-14

Read prayerfully about your co-death with Christ in Romans 6.

“The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down.” Psalms 145:14

“Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.” 2 Corinthians 4:10-12
