Ways To Overcome Satan's Power

By Catherine Luicer

Do you realize that God's power is fabulous and robust over Satan's? When you fail in life, do you ask yourself a question that it's your take away power to be simply defeated by Satan's power? As a child of Jesus, you have got to make sure you fight a good fight for your God is powerful and nothing can be difficult with Him all the time!

When we read in the book of Luke 4:18-19, we get clear information of the object of Jesus Christ. This scripture gives the intention of Him coming to this world. Among others, He came to set free those enslaved by sin since they are encircled by Satan.

When Jesus Christ was on the cross, He gave Satan a technical knockout. He has now also given His children the power over evil spirits that Satan keeps sending to them. Any person who is filled with the Holy Spirit of the Lord God and always lives by the Spirit has no right to or no access to the devil's spirit. The Lord only dwells in those that are ready to accept Christ in their lives and not Satan the demonic possessor!

Methods to Maintain Your Powers Over Satan

Do you want to fight and defeat the demonic power? In what tactics do you maintain your power and authority over the devil? Here are some of the ways:

1.) As a Christian, you should live a consistent holy life.

2.) You have got to be persistent in prayer. That is, being prayerful.

3.) You ought to be alert, prepared and watchful. Never be idle as Satan likes people who are idle.

4.) You have to recognise you're in a conflict against non secular forces and malignant power. Without this, the power of pure evil might attack you in a unexpected way.

As a kid of God, there's a tendency for you to be affected by the ungodly practices of sceptics who Satan uses around you, your house, college and society. But you've got to keep this under consideration that you're in the world but you aren't of the world.

You ought then to live with cognizance of the victory secured by Christ for you. You have got to habitually fight the bent towards malicious and beware that Satan always and always will attack you for He only operates through the sins we do each day. Therefore we have to take care and walk according to God's spirit in our lives.

Grief Counseling - Suffering Leads to Awakening

By Jason Lincoln Jeffers

If you are living a nightmarish life then your chances for a spiritual awakening are pretty good. More often than not, awakenings occur during or after times of great grief, crisis, or turmoil where inner and outer structures are shattered. What we used to rely or depend on are no longer available for us and so we are forced to fall back onto our own devices, our own personal resources to survive. This could be indicative of a death in the family, a divorce, or a financial loss. The rug is pulled out from underneath us -- so to speak -- and we're left feeling confused, stressed, and helpless.

For me, I experienced a loss of status and income (job), loss of a spouse (divorce), and the loss of my father all within the same year. Shortly afterward I experienced the loss of my health when I became physically debilitated by chronic fatigue syndrome. All of these factors contributed to my eventual awakening but it certainly didn't happen overnight. In fact, it took about twenty years for the metamorphosis to complete. During that time, I suffered severely on many levels. Looking back, I am extremely grateful for my suffering because without it I would have remained lost. My life would have been an uneasy truce.

So it wasn't until everything came crashing down around me that I awakened to what was truly real. As a result, my values changed dramatically. The meaning I had placed on meaningless things seemed ludicrous and absurd. I was no longer ruled or controlled by my possessions or status. That part of me, the part that identified my sense of self with my accomplishments, how much money I made, or material things I owned, had to die. This death allowed for a new sense of Self to emerge. A higher and more powerful Self.

For many people, loss is also experienced as a loss of meaning or purpose. A mental fog settles in because life no longer makes any sense. It seems random, chaotic, hostile. Loss of health makes you feel this way because it strips you of all sense of control. You begin to realize your own mortality. For me, I couldn't attract the right healers to me until I learned how to surrender myself to the illness. In other words, I had to stop fighting it and begin accepting it. When this shift in consciousness occurred, I began attracting the right healing methods to me within a very short period of time.

I also realized that my health was the most important thing in my life. I began to put my health first. Not just my physical health. I'm also talking about my mental health. In fact, my physically body never could truly heal until I healed my emotional pain-body first. And that required a herculean effort accompanied by lots of courage and faith. It also took many years of seeking guidance, inner work, and paying attention to everything life was trying to teach me. Eventually, I began to see myself in a totally different light. I understood that my preconditioned thoughts, beliefs, and behavior had created the suffering in the first place and because of that, I was, in fact, perpetuating it. After that, I realized that if I had created the suffering, it must also mean that I had the power to end it, and all that was required of me was to wake up to that underlying truth.
