I am presenting this material to fuel your determination to win in this first quarter of 2015. This is not the time to give up or be discouraged. It is the time to shed off weights that are slowing you down, stir up and step up your creative production to a whole new level. This is the time to go light so you can go high. You know, some of the inertia you are fighting are actually satanic gates that want to prevent or delay you from making an impact on the earth. But thanks be to Jesus the gates of hell shall not prevail.
Satan captured Man’s authority on the Earth through deception
1Timothy 2:14
‘… but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.’
The deceiver is still in the earth. Satan spoke the woman into believing his gospel. And then the woman influenced her husband to go against the Word of God. Through deception Satan captured the authority for ruling and subduing the earth which belonged to man.
He (Satan) protected the Authority through violence
Matthew 2:16
Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men.
Do you see how Satan inspired Herod to kill all children below two years? Now Herod thought he was doing that to protect his throne. But the truth is it was Satan trying to kill the baby messiah in order to hold unto the authority. He knew the messiah came to get back the authority.
What Satan got through deception, he used violence to protect it. He killed all children in ‘Bethlehem and in all the coasts thereof’. Satan is merciless. He is your real enemy and yet he always wants to disguise himself. Anything he has to offer steals, kills and destroys.
The Violent take it by force
Matthew 11:12
And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
I am asking you to rid yourself of every weight and to stir yourself up. Step up your game. Take your life to a totally different plane. You must win. You must succeed. Your victory is in the spirit. Your failure is in the flesh. You must unleash brutal spiritual violence on the works of the devil through severe and extreme intimacy with Jesus, unfeigned love, unspeakable joy, life in the spirit etc.
Increase your spiritual exercises to build the required capacity for God to flow through. God is determined to use you for something awesome in the earth. Be violent enough to be all that God wants you to be.
Rule and Subdue the Earth!
