Now the Lord said to Joshua: “Do not be afraid, nor be dismayed; take all the people of war with you, and arise, go up to Ai. See, I have given into your hand the king of Ai, his people, his city, and his land. Joshua 8:1 (sanctified, have faith, have victory before battle, give most to small city, receive not just give, same victory different approach, set the place on fire)

1. Everyone lives in spiritual world but few are engaged in spiritual warfare!

Benefits of spiritual warfare

Geo - lesbianism

Nabil - Leakimiah

Natural war kills people, spiritual war kills evil

This war takes place in our mind, in our prayer!

2. Don’t let your victories go into your head so that your defeats will not go into your heart.

Pride and paralysis

Momentum makes us look better, lack of makes us look worse

Victory is not endearment of our lifestyle.

When you talk about your victory don’t give credit to strategy but to Spirit

My defeat and God’s will are not the same.

When you lost a battle you did not lose a war. Losing in first quarter is not losing the game.

This defeat will not mess with my theology, identity and future

Overcoming your defeat is more important than winning a battle.

Defeat is not dangerous if it happened in your life, it’s deadly when it takes place in your heart

Judges 2:9-11

Story: Youth group leaders. Leader from another state lost brother to cancer

If you do not handle your good times well, they will turn into hard times but if you handle your hard times well, they will turn into good times. The way you handle your situation matters.

3. Don’t make covenant with the enemy God anointed you to conquer

If 99% is good enough? 15 minutes of no service. 1.7 million pieces of first class mail would be lost each day. 35,000 newborn babies would be dropped by doctors or nurses each year. 200,000 people would get the wrong drug prescriptions each year. We would have unsafe drinking water three days a year. And two million people would die from food poisoning each year. That’s if 99% were good enough.

Homosexuality case.

Don’t let your issue become your identity

When you make a deal with the devil, you start defending your enemy instead of overcoming it

Palm Tree!

4. Deliverance from the enemy, defeating the enemy

Deliverance from the enemy requires you to be a slave

Defeating the enemy requires you to be a soldier

Promise land was not conquered by slaves but by soldiers.

Don’t fight promise land battles with slave mentality

Renter evicted.

Omar….

I am police man, not a criminal! They don’t get discouraged.

It takes one mistake for criminal, and one lucky break for an office.

PRAYER:

I command any negative force, occupying my health, to be surmounted

I command any negative curse, holding blessing, to be vanquished

I command every evil spirit, operating in my family, to be evicted

Begin to march on your situation!

Any area of my life that I find difficult to penetrate - right now, I begin to penetrate in Jesus name!

Lord Jesus, make a way where there is no way!

Be it in my business, marriage, health, career, finances!

Any area of your life that you find difficult to penetrate - right now, begin to penetrate!

Make a way where there is no way!

Be it in your business, marriage, health, career, finances!

Open your lips and begin to part!

Those who knew me as failure will know me as success

Those who knew me as sick will know me as healthy person
