You Can and Will Win

The devil is King of the Flesh. Ha, no wonder our bodies fail us all the time. Ever wonder why your body is saying no but you're saying yes. This is the reason. God rules the Spirit. God is the Spirit. God is our Spirit. We are all one.

Ever laid in bed and knew you needed to get up but either couldn't or found yourself never getting up as time went by. I know I've slept all day before because I felt I couldn't face the world. Because I thought the world would care less. This is exactly what our flesh wants us to believe.

When you're trying to do something and are having trouble and something inside of you is saying you can't this is your flesh speaking over your spirit. The flesh is drowning out your Spirit so you can't hear It. Why would your spirit, the very being that is you, tell you that you can't do something. Your spirit wants you to win at everything you do, conquer the earth and rule over the things of this world. Your spirit, the essence of God, wants you to excel in everything. Whether a small task of brushing your teeth or a large task of climbing Mount Everest.

Now, your ideas of small and large tasks are all different depending on where you're at in your life. And these will change as you progress and accomplish new things. One day just getting out of bed may be a HUGE task for you. Another day standing up in front of a huge crowd to do a performance may be your huge task, or giving a huge presentation to the top dogs of your company. Simply meeting new people or opening up to learn something new may be huge for you. No matter what the task is the Spirit wants us to conquer it. What are your huge tasks right now? Figure them out, write them down, then conquer them. You know you can.

The Devil will also always try and bring you back to thinking these are huge tasks when you've conquered them a long time ago. He will always be whispering to you and always be thinking of new ways to keep you down, to keep you thinking you'll never win. He uses the flesh to make you think you can't do these things. He causes you to be sore when you need to keep going. He causes you to get sick just before a big day. He tells your body to stop when your Spirit will tell you to go. You must learn to keep in tune with your Spirit. To keep in tune with God. The moment you stop being in tune, the moment you let your guard down is the exact instant the flesh comes in to play. The devil will win but only if you let him.

Constantly read the Bible. Constantly pray. Constantly talk to God. Constantly strive to be better. Constantly tell your flesh it won't win. Constantly send the Devil back to hell in Jesus' name. Whatever it takes to win you must do it. You must use every weapon you've been given to fight off the enemy. Spiritual warfare is so real and the moment you think you've won is the moment the Devil gets back up and will attack again.

We have not won until we're walking through the gates of Heaven to be with our Father. Until then keep your weapons sharp, use them wisely and frequently. Keep your mind and eyes open for new weapons. Continue to listen closely to your Spirit. The flesh is always telling you, "You can't." God is always telling you, "You can." Pay attention. Never give up. Never say never. Always listen to your spirit and not your flesh.
