Attacks
“…nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:39
I believe God wants us to understand that attacks are a part of our spiritual warfare and we have to learn how to work through them while completing the task before us. The attacks will not stop because they come with our assignment. We have to learn how to encourage ourselves through the attacks. I picked up my bible and started to read.
Deliverance! I started reading in Romans and landed on chapter eight. I have read this passage many times but today the Word opened up to me in a new way. The whole chapter is amazing but the words “nothing can separate us from God’s love,” nailed itself in my soul! It does not matter what lies Satan uses or what truths he may bring up about us from our past or present sin…. all have been conquered at the cross! YES! When we seek forgiveness, it is given immediately!
Scripture says those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their personal savior, live in accordance with the Spirit and we have set our minds on what the Spirit desires. This does not mean we will not make mistakes but that our desire has changed to please God rather than ourselves. Satan attacks our mistakes, not the desires of our heart which are after God. He constantly reminds us of what we were in the flesh. Of course, we are a mess in the flesh! That is why we accept Christ Jesus. For we did not receive a spirit that makes us a slave again to fear, but we received the Spirit of sonship. In the same way the Spirit helps us in our weakness. Romans 8:15, 26, NIV
In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present not the future, not any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:37-39, NIV
Our spirits can get downcast, Satan can remind us of how bad we were, but nothing can separate us from God’s love. We have the power of the word of God to refute anything Satan throws in our spirit. There is nothing that will give us the power to overcome the devil like the word. The word is our sword. Romans 10:17 says, faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. The attacks of the enemy will never go away but we can overcome every attack through the word of God.
Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand; Psalm 149:6, NIV
