THE LORD CAUSES HIS CHURCH TO TRIUMPH OVER THE ENEMY
*************************************************************
1.THE LORD IS BUILDING HIS CHURCH AND THE ENEMY WILL NOT PREVAIL OVER THE CHURCH
The Lord is building His church and the gates of Hell shall not not overcome it. Since the day of Pentecost the church has faced attacks from satan , but the church has continued to grow and multiply and fill the earth because Christ is building His church.The Lord has given us the keys to the kingdom of heaven. We must use these keys to bind the works and the plans of the enemy and release the blessings and the purposes of God.
SCRIPTURE REFERENCES
***************************
And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.
I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."
2. THE LORD HAS DESTROYED THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL AND WANTS US TO TRIUMPH OVER THE DEVIL.
The Lord has triumphed over the devil on the cross of calvary. The Lord Jesus came to this world to destroy the work of the devil. He went around healing all who were under the oppression of the devil. We must not think that God has caused the suffering we face when it is really the attack of the devil. We must use our faith and spiritual authority to destroy the works of the devil.
SCRIPTURE REFERENCES
***************************
And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.
He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.
how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.
3. THE LORD SETS US FREE FROM OUR BONGAGES THROUGH THE REVELATION OF THE TRUTH
The Lord wants to set us free from the bondages in our life. The devil tries to keep us in bondage through lies and deception. People keep us in bondage through man made traditions which do not have the sanction of the word of God. The Lord set us free from these bondages through the revelation of the truth. The Son of God sets us free. The Holy Spirit leads us into freedom and liberty.
SCRIPTURE REFERENCES
***************************
JOHN 8: 32 , 36
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
4. THE LORD WILL REMOVE THE YOKE OF THE ENEMY THROUGH THE ANOINTING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Lord wants to destroy the yoke of the enemy in our lives through the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Whatever mountain we may face in our life can be made into level ground by the power of the Holy Spirit. The Lord will bring retribution to His enemies and cause them to fear His name. His Spirit will drive away the enemy. The Lord has made a covenant to put His Spirit and His word in His people from generation to generation.
SCRIPTURE REFERENCES
***************************
And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.
So he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: ’Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD Almighty.
