Attack VS Attacked!
Today's prayer meeting was really very refreshing. Nope! I didn't cry though. I don't have to always cry in the presence of God. I don't think anybody would cry everytime he/she sees the person he/she loves. Right? So if you cry almost every cell group meeting or every service, there's something which you need to do about. :)
Anyway, I can't remember if it was when Pst Zhuang was talking to us or when he was praying, but I heard something about attacking the kingdom of darkness.
It came to me as a revelation!
Have you noticed that most people would say something like, "Recently I had a spiritual attack." or "The devil is attacking me. He's attacking my family."?
Why should the devil always be the one to attack us, the believers first? I think we need to 检讨检讨。 Meaning, we have to do some reflection. While Jesus died for three days, He didn't just die. He went down to hell to fight the devil, and of course, our dear Jesus won the battle! He already has the victory! We should just go on and attack HELL!
There may still be spiritual attacks, but instead of waiting for the devil to attack us, lets attack them first!
I don't mean you should let down your guard while attacking. Defence is also very important. Notice what are the equipments in the Armour of God? The helmet, shield, breastplate, girdle, shoes. These are defence equipments. But we also have the sword, which is used to attack!
Let us not be afraid of attacking the devil. The bible says," God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of love, POWER and of a sound mind."
How much can we lose out in this spiritual battle? I think we'll 100% win.
But think about it. If your sword is blunt, how many little demons can u slash? Therefore, we must also be diligent to sharpen our only weapon. Bible says, "Be ready in season and out of season. Preach....." Yes! Use the Word of God! Pray! SPEAK! CONFESS! That's how we can sharpen the sword of the spirit in our lives.
Period.
