God Almighty leads us in triumph, yes, more than conquerors!
Picture of a lion that roars - so is Satan - the evil! He has no reel power, when Jesus overcame him on the cross, took the keys and power from him. Now he has only "lion roar" again and spread fear with it!
Room. 8. 31 What shall we then say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also give us all things with him? 33 Who will accuse God's elect? It is God who justifies; 34 Who is he that condemns? It is Christ that died, yea, whatever more is, which is also risen, who is even at the right hand, who also maketh intercession for us; 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 But in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor things to come, nor any power, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
This passage in Romans, indeed, throughout Romans 8 is like a highlight along with ia 1 Corinthians 13 and Hebrews 11 in the Apostle Paul's teaching that we find in his letters.
Notice lessons here, as is the very deep and blessed. We should actually be in Christ and live in the Spirit. So basically all present.
I can not take everything, then your article will become a serial. But there are two things I want you to bite mark in it are the following:
V. 37 But in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor things to come, nor any power, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
We will win more than conquerors, and nothing shall be able to separate us. But how to win more than conquerors? Here we get richer and bigger than we really are. There is a "bonus." Yes, we find many examples in Scripture that we are doing "a little." Obey in the small, but that we win as "great" victory is God, and he alone!
Meanwhile, we must be aware of certain factors.
"Everything should be tried as by fire" ... !!!
... The devil is not bound or death, even if he is deprived of "Sheol keys" ... he "tremble" so teeth shakes and rattles, so we'll know where he is around the world ....
Jesus Christ, won an eternal victory; "And asked the devil openly";
You world so ignominious it must be for the Devil, Jesus took the better of him ... !!!
Scripture says:
1 Pet. 5. 8. Be sober, be vigilant; Because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour:
That's exactly what the wicked do. He walks around, like a lion without teeth. But he scares through fear!
Fear is Satan's foremost weapons against us believers!
Luke 12. 32 Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father to give you the kingdom.
The fact that things may seem small, small and inconspicuous is nothing like a drunkard with our relationship. The victory is ours, it applies only to stand firm in the faith, and we will win more than conquerors scripture says!
Jacob 4. 7 Be therefore to God! Resist the devil, and he will fly from you;
This is exactly what we must do, when the enemy comes. Resist him, for as long as we are in Christ and he in us, then we will win the victory. Yes, more than conquerors, praise be to God and the Lamb!
Here is an article I wrote about this a few years ago that I would bring:
Know and learn about Satan and his strategy and behavior!
Efes. 6. 12 For we have not a fight against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of this darkness, against spiritual wickedness in heavenly places.
2 Cor. 2. 10 Whoever you forgive, I also forgive. Yes, if I at all have anything to forgive, I have to face of Christ forgiven for your sake, 11 so Satan get deceive us. What he has in mind, we know.
Paul writes: "What he has in mind (Satan), we know." This should we as believers know and not be ignorant and ignorant about!
1) To not believe
Not to believe is perhaps our greatest sin and scarce. Lord speaks very strongly about how important it is to believe.
Heb. 11. 6 Without faith it is impossible to please God. For he that cometh to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
we live a life that is not in faith, we have actually opened up for Satan in our lives. Therefore he will do everything, not least to keep Spirit-filled and proper preaching away from our lives. He might like to hear about the religious Jesus who will not and can not. That accepts sin and everything. But Satan hates to hear about the biblical Jesus and biblical preaching \ teaching. That carries with it spiritual revelation. And healthy, proper and anointed preaching with a prophetic anointing upon him, it hates him because when he is revealed!
2.) Sin opens for Satan opportunity and for him.
If we start to play with sin, if only slightly. Then it will sooner or later play and rule with you. If we give him the little finger takes Satan kept whole hand and even more.
1. Genesis 4. 7 How is it? If you do well, will you raise your sights. But you do not do well, sin lieth at the door. It will have power over you, but you must master it. "
Satan want people to have fun, enjoy and live in sin. When one lives in sin and sins, and afterwards blames God and others for a failed life as a truly been deceived. This is Christian life ABC, that sin is to open up to Satan. We need not be ignorant towards what he wants and what intentions he has for us humans, and especially us believers. It's getting us to live in sin and sin. Though it is visible to others or not does not matter. Sooner or later it all comes to the surface and then we are gagged and paralyzed as believers!
3.) Invisible present.
Satan does not want to show their true face and seems generally through their henchmen, and so he will not be so recognized. He pulls the strings and stays hidden yet in full control.
4.) The roaring lion.
Satan goes around, but how?
1 Pet. 5. 8b. Your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
A toothless lion who plays on fear and want to manipulate.
5.) The carnal desire.
1. Joh.b. 2. 16 For everything in the world - carnal desires and lust of the eyes and the pride that comes of wealth - it is not of the Father but from the world.
Matt. 4. 1. Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 He fasted for forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3 The tempter came to him and said, "Are you the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread!" 4 Jesus answered, "It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from God mouth."
5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the farthest corner of the temple wall 6 and said, "Are you the Son of God, throw yourself down from here! For it is written:
He shall give his angels charge over you;
they will carry you on their hands,
lest you dash your foot against a stone. "
7 Jesus answered, "It is written, 'You shall not put the Lord your God to the test."
8 Then the devil took him up on a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory 9 and said, "All these I will give you if you fall down and worship me." 10 Then Jesus said to him, "Away from me, Satan! For it is written:
Lord thy God shalt thou adore,
and him only shalt thou serve. "
11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.
Here we meet three sorts of temptations that Satan operates through.
6.) The eyes bright.
Jesus was incredibly radical against this desire. Just one look at a woman and desires her as sins you. It was better to scrap this limb than to continue to sin. Money and wealth are also the lust of the eyes.
7.) Haughty praised.
Boast of themselves and desire to achieve even more personal success has many risks with it. There are those who make themselves invincible but they will be collected by their own sin before or since.
8.) Falsehood.
Who is Satan? A fallen angel who has become corrupt and the origin of all lies.
Joh.e. 8. 44 You have your father the devil, and you want to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth; there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father.
9.) Accusations.
Obvious. 12. 10 And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying: "The victory and the power and the kingdom of our God and his Christ have dominion. For accuser of our brethren is overthrown, who accused them before our God day and night.
Satan's foremost weapon is, or one of his foremost weapon is to accuse us. For what we have done, should do and what it otherwise might be.
10.) ignorance
Hosea 4 6 My people are destroyed because it has no knowledge; because thou hast rejected knowledge, I also reject you, and you shall not serve me as a priest; you forgot your God's law, I will also forget your children.
Not possessing knowledge can be our spiritual path. We believe that everything is not going well or we are not informed that Satan is a defeated foe. We are easily fooled by Satan. Therefore, Bible teaching and that we study the word of God is very important!
11) Sex
Satan be the weapon of sex in all shapes, varieties and everything outside how sex should be practiced.
Sex is allowed, then only in marriage!
Here are some of Satan's way of working, but there are also several others accept. But we need not be ignorant of his thoughts and behavior.
It is up to us, the individual believer to be enlightened.
Not least through the word of God and our Web site as there is so much information that everything should and can be available for us to be enlightened!
