I heard a story about a guest teacher at a Bible school.  The guest teacher had come to teach on healing.  Various teachers and students had stopped him throughout his lesson with comments like: “Well, we don’t really believe in that healing stuff.”  He dug deeper in the Word and read even more scriptures about healing.  More students stopped him.  “We just don’t believe in that stuff,” they’d say.  The guest teacher paused and lifted the page of scripture he was reading from and ripped it out of the Bible, “Well then I guess we better get rid of this page.”  He went on and on, ripping out more pages about healing and other topics they disagreed with.  By the time he was done, the Bible was nothing more than a thin little book.  “Here’s your Bible,” he said.  Then he left.

Do you believe God’s Word?  All of God’s Word?  Or are your beliefs filtered by your emotions, experience, and the shaky teachings of others that you deem as “experts” in Christianity?

God came to give us absolute and complete authority over every single one of satan’s attacks.  Your first step is to stop blaming God for satan’s workings.  Your second step is to take authority over satan until you win.

Stop being an unbelieving believer.  Get in God’s Word!  Stop basing your Christian life on second-hand knowledge.  Get in there for yourself!  Either you believe all of God’s Word or you don’t.  There’s no gray area.  And if you don’t believe all of it, you are the very reason there is so much defeat in your life.

Get out your sword.  Use it!
