There is No Battle

Galatians 2:20 NKJV

I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

So many believers waste efforts daily battling with Satan. They memorize scripture to throw at him. And yet where is the battle?

If we are walking in the spirit there is no battle. The only battle is Satan trying to control the dead man.

We are alive in Christ. He already won the battle. As we stay in the flesh And allow a battle to go on we have walked away from who we are in Christ.

There is only Christ in me and I in him. As I read his word and communicate with Him my old mind is renewed and there is no battle with Satan.

So when Satan attacks we don't go on the defensive. We remember who we are in Christ and repeat those scriptures getting out of our old way of thinking and into who we are in Christ.

Thank you Jesus for winning the battle at the cross. Thank you Jesus for abiding in me.

Work Effort

Our work effort in the world is a reflection of our relationship with our Heavenly Father. He wants us to serve our fellow man and Him enthusiastically. He wants our best in all we do. ~ DickEvans.org

Resist

As believers, we have the power to resist temptation to sin. Error still tries to creep into our lives, but we can say no, get behind me satan and he has to leave us alone. With Holy Spirit we have the power to resist. ~ DickEvans.org

Pointing Fingers

It is so easy to point fingers at others before judging ourselves. Yet every finger pointed condemns another. It is far better to place an arm around another person then to point a finger. We need to encourage; not discourage. We need to light up the paths for others to travel on; not place obstacles in their way. ~ DickEvans.org

Support

God made each of us with different skill sets. He made us to fit together with others. Together we support and fulfill each other towards the goal He has for us, the purpose He made us for. But without the head, Christ, we are incomplete. With Christ, there is nothing we cannot accomplish. ~ DickEvans.org

Change Us

As believers we are each striving to be more Christ like, to change. But just because we allow ourselves to appear changed does not mean that we have. The Apostle Paul not only spoke the truth, he lived the truth. He is tells us to do the same. We need to allow the Holy Spirit to guide us and change us. ~ DickEvans.org

Encourage

I believe God wants us to use the deposits He has made in us and for them to be reflected in the words that come out of our mouths. He wants us to be encouragers that nourish lives in the world today. ~ DickEvans.org
