Dear Child,
Adversities are the lessons of life, that exercise your spiritual muscles and make you healthy and strong. The more battles you fight, the more victories you will win!
Battles fought in the mind will eventually effect the physical, if not won in the battlefield of the mind, so bring every thought into the captivity of Christ.
Child, you are body, soul and spirit, be a good steward of each.
Exercise your body muscles and be strong physically!
Exercise your mind and be strong in your convictions!
Exercise your spiritual muscles and stand strong against the powers of darkness!
Thus saith Papa
In the PHYSICAL realm you must have a resistance program if you want healthy, strong muscles. Without resistance, strength cannot be produced.
In the MENTAL realm we must resist in the battlefield of the mind and bring every thought into the captivity of Christ. Only then will we have strong Godly convictions.
2 Corinthians.10:4-5 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
In the SPIRITUAL realm we also have a resistance program against the enemy of our souls. When we submit ourselves to God, we will have the power to resist the devil, which will result in strong, healthy spiritual muscles.
James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
1 Peter.5:8-10 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
CHALLENGE: Do you feel defeated when you try to resist the devil, because you haven’t first warmed up your spiritual muscles by submitting the situation to God?
