THE VIOLENT TAKE IT BY FORCE

Matthew 11:12(And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and only the violent take it by force).

Isaiah 9:5(For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire).

Life is indeed a battlefield not a funfair; your adversary (Satan) who has hijacked your destiny is not a gentleman and you should not be a gentleman either. The only language he understands is violent. It takes violence of Faith to possess your possession. He was referred to as a strongman and to disarm him you need power (Matthew 12:29). This power we are talking about does not come cheaply; it requires a lot of sacrifice. Your enemies need to be afraid of you that as soon as they hear your name they will take cover. Let him know that you are no longer a cheap meat for him. You are destined to live a heaven on earth life but he has vow that you are not going to enjoy life here and also make heaven. It is your responsibility to stop him from denying you of what God has prepared for you (1 Corinthians 2:9). The bible makes us understand that it takes a stronger man to disarm the strongman, and we all know that Jesus Christ is the strongest man that can defeat him. So, it is wise to align ourselves with him by following his footstep because without him we can do nothing (John 15:5). Jesus said that we will do greater works than him, which means we have the potential to disarm the strongman (John 14:12). As many that received and believed him, he gave them power to become a son of God (John 1:12). The power needs to be activated before it can work. Satan is not going to surrender to you just like that; you need to force him violently.  Jesus Christ has taught us what to do. He is our mirror and a perfect example. He rolled his garment in blood with burning and fuel of fire because that’s what is expected from a warrior and he has taught us the same thing. He started his journey with fasting and prayer. The only way to acquire power and retain it is through prayer and fasting, because some situations will not give up without prayer and fasting (Matthew 17:21). Jesus continues with prayer unto the end. Luke 22:44(And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground). The psalmist says through the greatness of thy power shall thy enemy summit themselves unto thee (Psalms 66:3). That means the enemies can actually summit themselves but not without a fight. You will fulfill your destiny in Jesus name. Your enemies will surrender to you in Jesus name. Faith is very important because that’s what all these things we are talking about are built upon. You need to believe in God and his word. And also believe in Jesus and the victory he has won for you and me in the cross of Calvary. Faith comes by hearing the word of God. If you don’t believe in Jesus you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven, there is no other way to go about it and you cannot follow the footsteps of the person you don’t believe in. The first battle you need to win is salvation. By giving your life to Jesus, you have given Satan your first blow and the defeats continue. Take this first step today and be blessed in Jesus name.

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
