Gen 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
Gen 3:2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
Gen 3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
Luke 4:3 And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. 4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
Luke 4:13 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.
If you take a look at these two accounts of the devil's approach to Eve, and what HER response was to the serpent, than his approach to Jesus, and take a look at what Jesus said to the devil. "It is written"
Eve used her own reasoning and her own words, while Jesus spoke the word of God.
The victory in living the Christian life is walking with God and agreeing with Him. Jesus said, if you abide in Me and My words abide in you, you shall ask what you will and it shall be done unto you. John 15:7
2 Cor 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
I'm going to be flat out truthful to you, Your words defeat you, sis. Your words are working against you. You are cursing yourself by agreeing with the devil.
The devil walks around like a roaring lion seeking those whom he may devour. Who is he seeking? Those who agree with him.
Can two walk together, except they be agreed? Amos 3:3
Isaiah 53:1 Who hast believed the report of the Lord and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
Start speaking the words of life. This is the day that the Lord hast made, I WILL REJOICE AND BE GLAD IN IT.
That is a daily decision. I will bless the Lord at all times, His praise shall continually be in my mouth, my soul shall make it's boast in the Lord.
Father, I don't care what the report of the world says, I agree with you, that I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me, for He is the vine and I am the branch, and His life flows through me. I am a new creation, old things have passed away. My past no longer exists, for I am born again, Jesus is Lord. I thank you that You are my provider and you do meet all my needs. I will begin to keep my mind and thoughts on things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely and praiseworthy. I make a conscious decision to speak life. No more death, for Christ has redeemed me from the curse of the law. The fullness of God abides in me. Holy Spirit baptize me with power, in the name of Jesus! I submit myself to you, for your ways are better than my ways, and I choose to think your thoughts after you because your word says I have the mind of Christ. IN THE NAME OF JESUS FEAR AND DEPRESSION GO FROM ME! I DO NOT ACCEPT YOU AND I CANCEL YOUR ASSIGNMENT AGAINST ME! I am a child of God, blood washed, and it is in Him that I live and move and have my being. I am not a cast off but I am adopted into the family of God. I belong to God and He is good to me. I have been made the righteousness of God in Christ. I have wisdom because I have Jesus. I have redemption because I have Jesus. I have the love of God shed abroad on my heart. I have Peace, because the Prince of Peace lives in me. He is the vine, and I am the branch and it is HIS peace that is mine. Thank you Lord for redeeming me, for quickening me, raising me and seating me in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Thank you that you have called out LIGHT BE and the light of the glorious gospel shines brightly in my heart and mind.
Your word IS A LAMP UNTO MY FEET AND A LIGHT UNTO MY PATH. Arise shine, for thy light hast come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you!
in the name of Jesus. Amen.
