Greetings:
As Christians, we become established in our righteousness by faith, not by our works.
If our works could make us righteous, then Jesus died in vain. When we believe we are the righteousness of God, sin has no more dominion over us.
In Colossians 1:13-14, it says we have been delivered from the realm of darkness.
In the realm of darkness, there is depression, sickness, poverty, and all types of lack. In the realm of light, there is joy, peace, love, prosperity, healing, righteousness, deliverance, and victory.
Our first reaction is going to determine the outcome of a crisis situation. Seldom do we have the luxury of sitting back and looking at things. The attitude we have when Satan comes against us is going to determine the final result. We have power over spiritual weapons fired at us.
The first thing we have to do when Satan comes against us is to make the decision that we are not going to let our heart be troubled.
The vast majority of people who are attacked by Satan don't really understand this. A lot of them believe that in a given situation, there is no way that they can help, but to be depressed and discouraged. They justify emotions that are contrary to God's Word.
We can learn about faith, we can learn about confession, we can learn everything the Bible says. Yet, in our heart, if we've taken offense, if we've been hurt, if we submit to feelings of depression or discouragement, we'll wipe out everything good. Nothing is going to work.
That's why some people can take all the steps people outline for them, memorize them and carry them out, but if their hearts are discouraged, to begin with, it won't work. They never were standing in faith.
The enemy plans to deceive us. He wants us to believe that God does not love us. We've got to fix our heart on Jesus so that no matter what the devil does, we're going to walk in victory.
Be blessed.
