You must learn to grow beyond the weaknesses of the flesh. If appetite still rules you, if sleep still governs you, if basic discipline still defeats you, then you are not yet ready to engage deeper spiritual operations. The enemy knows where to touch a person who has not mastered self-control over the flesh.
Before you attempt to confront darkness or challenge patterns that are against the word of God, first conquer the weaknesses that keep you bound. Your spirit must be stronger than your habits. Your will must be stronger than your desires. Your discipline must be stronger than your flesh.
To walk in victory, your inner life must be guarded. Your moral purity must be guided by truth. Your conscience must remain clear so your spirit can stay light and sensitive. A heavy, guilty, or troubled heart cannot express faith. Spiritual warfare is fought from a place of clarity, peace, and inner harmony with the Holy Spirit.
Your identity in the presence of God must remain at the center of your consciousness. You must continually remind yourself of who you are, especially when the enemy tries to overwhelm your mind with fear, intimidation, or accusations. His attacks often come as suggestions, thoughts, dreams, or impressions designed to shift you from confidence to fear. He tries to pull you from rest into anxiety—because fear works in the mind, but faith works from the heart.
You must never abandon your heart posture of faith. And this is why you must deliberately take up the awareness of your salvation. You must remind yourself—intentionally, consciously, deliberately—of what God has declared about you. There will always be accusations, reminders of your past, and attempts to revive old guilt. But the verdict of God over your life stands higher than any evidence the enemy may try to present.
You are declared free. You are cleared. You are accepted. You are justified. Every accusation falls short of the authority of God’s declaration over you. You must walk daily with the consciousness of this identity. Your spiritual reality contains many dimensions—truths that you must embrace and remember. There are many aspects of who you are before God, and the more aware you are of them, the firmer you stand.
When you know who you are, you cannot be shaken by fear, temptation, or intimidation. You know how to respond. You know how to resist. You know how to overcome. So ask God to open your eyes to see according to the way He sees you. This is one of the messages that will help everyone on the journey of mind renewal, faith-building, and building capacity to exercise his or her spirit - it's an enlightening teaching by Apostle Arome Osayi on how to engage spiritual activities well and the mindset you must sustain before and during spiritual engagement - you can get the full message of this write-up in the comment section of this post.
Ask Him to show you your spiritual shape, form, the grace He has placed on you, the strength He has given you, and the identity you carry before Him. When you see yourself through His eyes, you will finally understand why the battles come the way they do—and why victory has always been your portion. For only those who are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God. This message is a channel of transformation that will bless you so greatly, help you to keep your faith strong, and keep your fire burning.
