How to Break Satan's Cycle of Defeat (part 2)

 God is not looking for ways to short circuit your destiny. God is looking for ways to fulfill your destiny! • Satan wants to short-circuit the Word from producing the faith that is necessary for the Word to be fulfilled in our life. • The greatest battle over your life is what you believe about God and what you believe God believes about you! • It is the absence of doubt that gives us the power, and when there is no doubt in the heart, faith is manifested, and faith is portrayed, and faith comes into action. • We can not defeat an enemy we have not identified! • The Greek word for mind is nous. N-O-U-S. Now, that word is used to describe the mental functions of perception, understanding, knowing, feeling, judging, determining. The mind is comprised of the will, the emotions, the thoughts, the imaginations. • God said, “I’m going to bring a new strength into My people”! • The devil’s not going to win the battle in my mind by default. I am not going to have a passive mind. • If the devil can get you to give up, you may be just that far away from a miracle, but if he can get you to give up, you’ll never experience what God had in store for you. He will have short-circuited it. Someone say, I will not give up! Gal 6:9 • "The mind is where the battle must be won and where the battle can be lost!" - Morris Cerullo • Satan will try to attack us where we receive God’s Word and where faith must be conceived. • The moment your spiritual life relaxes, and you become unloosed, that’s Satan’s opportunity to come in and to weaken you. • God has made it possible for you to have a 100 percent victorious mind! • If the devil can get you to stop resisting his attacks, he can defeat you. • Satan does not have the power to make you sin against your will! • Recognize the battlefield. It is my heart the devil is after. It is my mind the devil is after. I vow before God not to be passive … not to be complacent … but to stand up … and take aggressive action! • Satan wants you to let up on your intensified prayer times... • We are not ignorant concerning the devices of the enemy! • We are in a battle for what we think! • Satan wants you to cut down on the time you read and study the Word of God.
