Title: Spiritual Warfare
Smith wiggles worth say’s
Many people dont not have there prayrers answered, because they truley never believe,
There has to be faith.
Everyone who asks, receives Matt 7:8.
He who is asking is receiving; What are you asking for?
he who is seeking is finding. Are you trully seeking the Lord?
The Door is being opened right now; That’s God’s present Word.
The bible does not say, Ask and you will not receive.
Believe that asking is receiving,
seeking is finding,
and to him who is knocking,
the door is being opened.
Will you dare to beleive with us?
Will you come into agreement in
prayer, faith and are growth in the word and his presence.
Genesis 25:22–28 (NLT)
22But the two children struggled with each other in her womb. So she went to ask the Lord about it.
Why is this happening to me?” she asked.
23And the Lord told her, “The sons in your womb will become two nations. From the very beginning, the two nations will be rivals.
One nation will be stronger than the other; and your older son will serve your younger son.”
24And when the time came to give birth, Rebekah discovered that she did indeed have twins!
25The first one was very red at birth and covered with thick hair like a fur coat. So they named him Esau.
26Then the other twin was born with his hand grasping Esau’s heel. So they named him Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when the twins were born.
As the boys grew up, Esau became a skillful hunter.
He was an outdoorsman, but Jacob had a quiet temperament, preferring to stay at home.
Isaac loved Esau because he enjoyed eating the wild game Esau brought home, but Rebekah loved Jacob.
Point 1 They were predestined
(VERY LOW TONE) TALK
Predestined Means?
An outcome or course of events in advance by divine will or fate.
For a particular fate or purpose
Which means we are created for a purpose
This family was Chosen by God to be apart of a bigger picture.
This story is a mirrrors of the battles we face daily.
Ephesians 1:5 (ESV)
he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will,
Romans 8:29 (ESV)
For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
We are in Spiritual war far, God will turn the battles into our victories....
This battle is an unseen world
Principalities of Evil trying to keep Gods people from Receiving there inheritance.
A.) We all have this thing called Sinful nature inside of us;
Spirit & Flesh
The right and the Wrong
The Good and the Bad
The spirit wants to become like the father and draw closer to the father
The flesh wants the oppiste of the Holyness of God
2.) From the womb the younger brother had to Rule over the chosen one.
Psalm 51:5 NLT
For I was born a sinner— yes, from the moment my mother conceived me.
Stop explain: Sin had’nt entered untell Rebekah had conceived.
This is a picture of how we were thought of from begining of Creation;
(Perfect)
but born with this nature that is trying to keep us from growing in
The LORD.
I going to show you have to over come this here in a bit.
1.) Did you know that the enemy is after the man and women of God that he is calling you to be?
2.) The enemy knows that if you are able to discover the power of God within your spirit how dangerouses you can be?
3.) He know’s that if we are able to tap into the Word, his presense....
The threat that we can become to his kingdom.......
Point 2 The fight from the womb
Ephesians 6:12 (ESV)
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
The Definition of the Word
Ruler: A person exercising government or Dominion;
- These are the forces thta were working in the spiritual Relam and from the (Womb) of Rebekah
against the authorities
The Word Authority: (The power) or right to give orders, make decisions, and enforce obedience
Is what was working in the younger infant
The Word :
cosmic powers Really stood out:
Forms of Energy which are unknown to Human Science
This is what is at work in the unseen spiritual Relam
Here the Key to overcome these battles
2 Corinthians 10:3–4 (NLT)
We are human, but we don’t wage war as humans do.
We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons,
to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments.
Conclusion: Bring your point together
The spiritual fight
Point 3 The flesh was born
26Then the other twin was born with his hand grasping Esau’s heel. So they named him Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when the twins were born.
A.) Grasping Esau’s heel- How Ironic That Jacob Grabbed Esau’s heel.
1.) The enemy will try to get you to keep a door open,
Perhaps A door has never been closed?
2.) We cant have one foot in or one foot out with the Lord......
- The enemy is not in this game to play with us by to kill still and destroy.
Ephesians 4:27–29 (ESV)
and give no opportunity to the devil.
Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need. Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.
Genesis 25:27–34 (NLT)
29 One day when Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau arrived home from the wilderness exhausted and hungry. 30Esau said to Jacob, “I’m starved! Give me some of that red stew!” (This is how Esau got his other name, Edom, which means “red.”)
31“All right,” Jacob replied, “but trade me your rights as the firstborn son.”
32“Look, I’m dying of starvation!” said Esau. “What good is my birthright to me now?”
33But Jacob said, “First you must swear that your birthright is mine.” So Esau swore an oath, thereby selling all his rights as the firstborn to his brother, Jacob.
34Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and lentil stew. Esau ate the meal, then got up and left. He showed contempt for his rights as the firstborn.
Conclusion: Lets stand to our feet
1.) There is a fight in the spiritual Relam
2.) There is a fight for you, not grow in the Lord
Discovering youself in him, your calling.......
3.) Some Generational curse are being broke, Patterns, habbits, sickness, that were handed down form our for fathers..... being broken
Deep Roots that have formed them selves within our lives.....
Romans 10:9 (ESV)
because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
