A lot of Christians have not tapped into the power that God has placed inside of us; and this is why the enemy continues to get you at the same thing. For a long time I allowed the devil to chase me; and one day I found out who I was in Christ and when that happened I started chasing the devil. Don't get me wrong he still tries and mess with me; but I know the power that I have to tear him and his kingdom down. I use to think,man the devil is really taking over in the churches, but I was giving him to much power, God sent a man of wisdom to me and he told me, "don't confuse the local churches with the body of Christ". See a lot of times we as Christians....wait let me speak for myself; a lot of times I got discouraged in my spirit when I saw the devil operating in the "local church", but I have learned if you don't have no Holy Ghost Power to cast that devil out, and you entertain him, and pacify that mess then he do what he has come to do and that is : JOHN 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy... (and I know someone just said, "oh no she didn't, but honey yes I did...and if GALATIANS 4:16; Am I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth?) I have learned that everybody is not going to receive the word of God, because it's meat and I am not talking about the ones that are babes in Christ I am talking about the ones who have been saved for a long time, and know the word of God. And as you can tell I am still going to stand, even if I have to stand alone; I am trying to let people know you don't have to be like the children of Israel, God has given us a way out....because He is a Way maker!

2 CORINTHIANS 10:3-5

3) For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh

*Although we are flesh and bones, when we fight (spiritually) we do not fight in flesh and bone; we fight in the spirit; we live in this body, but we do not fight according to  human standards*

4) (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to pulling down of strongholds;)

5) 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.

God has given us this power; you do not have to keep getting beat by the enemy over and over again, you can let him know you cancel every assignment he has placed upon you, you can stand bold in the enemy face and let him know you declare the victory, you have the power to move that mountain that's hindering you....the devil has studied you for a long time, do not allow him to intiminate you, take the armor of God with you: (EPHESIANS 6:19-20; And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

EPHESIANS 6:10-18

12) For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

14) Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

*A holy character and moral conduct; obedience to the truth produces a godly life*

15) And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

*There's eagerness that comes from the gospel of peace, the gospel of peace gives peace to the believer, freeing him from anxiety through advances against the enemy*

16) Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

*Taking God at His word by believing His promises, such trust will protect one from doubts induced by the devil.*

17) And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

*The assurance of salvation, your mind is the battle field for the enemy keep it protected with the helmet of salvation; the sword of the Spirit is the word of God*

18) Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

*STAND; without prayer God's armor is inadequate to achieve victory, prayer is indispensable. In the Spirit means that with the Spirits help such prayer for divine aid is to be made. Watching thereforeunto means "being vigilant in this very matter" of prayer. Spiritual warfare is not just a individual thing it's corporate pray for yourself as well as the body of Christ.*
