FIX YOUR MIND ON HIM

Fix your mind on God and the truth that God alone offers you a truly good and abundant life. Understand the battle and the weapons used against you and the weapons you have (2 Cor. 10:3 & 4). You are blind to the spirit realm and fight until you understand the unseen; how it works and how you address it. You learn what to do from the Bible and Holy Spirit-led teaching. As you read along in this book, I’ll be throwing spotlights on various godly tried-and-true strategies.

God wants to give you spiritual gifts that will give you spiritual eyes, ears, and weapons. It may be that the spiritual gifts referred to in I Corinthians chapters 12, 13, & 14 exist to endow you with spiritual senses. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is an additional degree and special manifestation of the Holy Spirit. When gifts that come through the baptism and infilling of the Holy Spirit are fully functioning, the people of God are an effective offensive and defensive fighting unit. Since Life/life is much governed by Holy Spirit power vs. unclean spirit power, the battle of darkness is to limit the Holy Spirit’s influence over you as much as possible.

Through understanding your true environment, the authority you have in Christ Jesus and your decision to act (exercise your will in alignment with God’s will) you throw a monkey wrench to interrupt Satan’s plans. And much of what he achieves, you can undo through the power of the cross, your spiritual inheritance, spiritual gifts, and the great power of God that He uses to benefit you.
