INVITE GOD TO OVERSPEAK THE CONDEMNING SPIRIT OF HELL

December 12

hild, did you ever doubt your salvation experience? Are you having a hard time with doubt and unbelief? My question to you is, “How can you allow the enemy to speak louder to you in your doubts than you allow me to speak of my pure assurance of your salvation? Did I not tell you, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved?” (Romans 10:9) To “believe on me is the same as “resting” in my word to you about your salvation.” If you don’t rest in my promises to you, you are deliberately choosing to allow yourself to be troubled by the enemy more than you are choosing to allow yourself to be blessed by your Father. Something is wrong with this picture! You are inviting the evil one to steal from you your own assurance in my promises to you. Here is a good way for you to confess and pray: “Father, in the name of Jesus I have played silly “head” games with the enemy. I have allowed his voice of doubt and fear to be louder to me than your voice of blessing and assurance. I will correct this with my repentance to you Father in Jesus’ name. For this sin I do repent, and I turn away from insulting you and your promises in Jesus’ name, amen!” Remember child, the evil one has a “one track” mind. He has come only to “steal, kill and destroy.” (John 10:10) If you have negative thoughts about your salvation, these thoughts are always from Satan. Your Father does not condemn or heap guilt upon His children. Satan always does! Now think, “I am not going to allow the enemy to steal from me one more day! I will get up from this bed of self-pity and walk with my Father in Heaven in total victory! I will declare: ‘Lord of Heaven, you have done a great thing by sending the Lord Jesus to save me and deliver me! I believe, and I receive it in the great name of Jesus!’” This should make you feel better. Repeat this several times until it drops down into your heart and spirit. If the evil one cannot steal your salvation (and he can’t), then he will do the next best thing, he will shut you down in fear and unbelief so that you will not bear fruit unto the Lord. Don’t let him do it! You are greatly loved by your Father in Heaven.

Prayer

Father, in the name of Jesus I praise you that you have far greater power to keep me and bless me and assure me than the evil one must steal these blessings from me. I will lean heavily on your arm and declare my salvation in Jesus openly, in Jesus’ name, amen!
