Fight Head to Heart

The powers and principalities of the air are too strong for you. When you attempt to "turn over a new leaf" you put yourself onto their battlefield. You cannot fight them head to head, stop trying. Fight them head to heart. Your heavenly Father owns your heart. He purchased it through the sacrifice of His only begotten Son, and the power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead indwells Your heart through the Holy Spirit.

You cannot devise a battle plan that will thwart the enemy's strategies against you. You must operate on a different plane. Those who trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior have been given the ability to walk in the Spirit, and in the Spirit your enemies cannot touch you. It is your Holy Spirit fueled love for God that will cause their strongholds to fall.

The Cross has been placed as an immovable sign of absolute victory over the turmoil and grief in your heart.

Scripture: "And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross," (Colossians 2:15).

"Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires," (Romans 8:5).

"...the cross is an immovable sign of absolute victory..." Love that! Praise the Lord for it, for Him.
And I love that He "made a spectacle...," ha. That whole verse paints such a wonderfully charged, vibrant picture in my mind. Makes me wanna pump my fists and shout, "Oh yea baby. Who's laughin' now?!"
Such awesome stuff here, Aunt Linda. So very anointed. I am always blessed, comforted, and challenged when I read the words the Lord has given you (that you so generously and graciously share with us). Thanks be to He and to ye.
