WHY YOU KEEP LOSING SPIRITUAL BATTLES

Psalms one verse one, it said, "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in his law does he meditate day and night.

He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper." Like we said earlier on, that a blessed man, according to verse one, has a walking position, has a standing position, and has a sitting position.

And so if you go to the book of, um, Ef- Ephesians, Ephesians, from Ephesians chapter one and Ephesians chapter two, uh, the Bible speaks about the fact that we've been quickened by the Holy Ghost, and we've been made to sit with Christ in the heavenly places far above principalities and powers.

So I said to us that spiritually you sit first.

In the natural, if a child is born, the, the child sits first.

So that is also consistent with the supernatural.

You are made to sit with Christ.

And I said that in your sitting position, your weight is transferred to the seat.

And what it means is that your life as a Christian begins by taking advantage of what Jesus has already done.

It's no longer at your expense, but at his expense.

It's no longer by your works, but it's by his grace.

So you find someone like Apostle Paul says, "I am what I am by the grace of God," because he has ceased from his works.

He's now operating on grace.

When you begin to operate on grace, it means that the very Spirit of God is responsible for powering your reality.

And at that vintage position of operation, curses, ill luck, and all the attendant, um, limitations cannot survive the realm that grace will power you to operate in.

So if we have not yet fully plugged into grace, then our lives will be a sorry state of limitations and measured possibilities.

So you see, in, in sitting, we transmit our weight to the seat, and that's what Jesus said, "Casting all your cares upon me because I care for you." We were taking, um, a critical look at the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, and we realized that the death of Jesus was all-inclusive, meaning that it caters to any aspect of deficiency that you may have.

God anticipated.

In the death of Jesus, he anticipated your life, your troubles, your limitations, your warfares, your peculiar situation.

He anticipated that some people will be haunted by witches and warlocks.

Some will be manipulated by circumstances and situations.

Some will be victims of office witchcraft.

Some will be victims of family darkness and liabilities.

All of that was anticipated in the kind of payment that Jesus made in the sacrifice on the cross.
