Corinthians 15:50
2026-01-05
1 Corinthians 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. (KJV)
Are you still trying to win a fleshly war?
In this warfare, he who has the most toys does not win. This is not a battle for you to take the spoils. The victory is not getting what you want.
1 John 2:15-17 Don’t set the affections of your heart on this world or in loving the things of the world. The love of the Father and the love of the world are incompatible. 16 For all that the world can offer us—the gratification of our flesh, the allurement of the things of the world, and the obsession with status and importance—none of these things come from the Father but from the world. 17 This world and its desires are in the process of passing away, but those who love to do the will of God live forever. (TPT)
You are a soldier in the army of God. The victory is God’s and God’s alone. God’s victory is souls being saved, the broken being healed, and the bound being set free. You have to fight against the flesh and what it desires. How? I’m glad you asked.

Dedicate time to study and meditate every single day.

Joshua 1:8a This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall read [and meditate on] it day and night, so that you may be careful to do [everything] in accordance with all that is written in it. (AMP)

Pray at all times until it becomes a habit.

Ephesians 6:18 Pray at all times (on every occasion, in every season) in the Spirit, with all [manner of] prayer and entreaty. To that end keep alert and watch with strong purpose and perseverance, interceding in behalf of all the saints (AMPC).

Make sure your mind is on the right thing.

Philippians 4:8 Finally, believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable and worthy of respect, whatever is right and confirmed by God’s word, whatever is pure and wholesome, whatever is lovely and brings peace, whatever is admirable and of good repute; if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think continually on these things [center your mind on them, and implant them in your heart].(AMP)

Remember, you don’t have the power to resist the enemy; it is the God in you.

1 Corinthians 15:56-57 It is sin that gives death its sting and the law that gives sin its power. 57 But we thank God for giving us the victory as conquerors through our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One. (TPT)

Don’t validate yourself, get help.

Proverbs 11:14 Where there is no [wise, intelligent] guidance, the people fall [and go off course like a ship without a helm], But in the abundance of [wise and godly] counselors there is victory. (AMP)
Your flesh will return to the dust God created you from. Your spirit will be with the Lord. You have to fight like you understand that. Stop trying to amass “treasures” here on earth.
Please agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response:
Father, in the name of Jesus, I repent for trying to win a spiritual war in my flesh. Thank You for showing me I don’t need victory the way the world sees victory. I need victory in You. I am grateful to be a part of Your army. I no longer seek something for myself, prizes, treasures, things and stuff. Father God, I seek You and You alone. My only desire is to dwell in Your house all the days of my life, to gaze upon Your beauty and to seek You in Your temple…

Ephesians 3:10
2026-01-06
Ephesians 3:10 Every invisible authority and government in the arena of the heavenlies now witnesses the display of the wisdom of God. The church acts like a prism that disperses the varied magnitude of God in human form. (TMB)
Are you allowing the wisdom of God to shine through?
It is God’s desire for you to understand where the warfare is. He wants you to recognize the war is with principalities and powers in heavenly places. The battle goes on there. He wants you to access His wisdom in this fight. What you think, when you speak, and how you act, should reflect the love of God.
Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and recognize and honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven. (AMPC)
No matter how intelligent you may be or how much experience you may have, the only way you can show God’s love and be victorious is in, with, and through the wisdom of God. God’s wisdom shines through your lifestyle and choices you make. The world sees God and not you when:

You stop deciding on your own and ask for God’s wisdom.

James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. (NKJV)

You profess your salvation as representative of who God is and not who you are.

1 Corinthians 1:30 But it is from Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God [revealing His plan of salvation], and righteousness [making us acceptable to God], and sanctification [making us holy and setting us apart for God], and redemption [providing our ransom from the penalty for sin]. (AMP)

You trust in Christ and yield to the Holy Spirit.

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord completely, and do not rely on your own opinions. With all your heart rely on him to guide you, and he will lead you in every decision you make. (TPT)
When the love of God transforms your life, the wisdom of God will shine through.
Please agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response:
Father, in the name of Jesus, I recognize I can live the life You have called me to because of Your wisdom and Your power. My trusting and living in You causes principalities and powers to see You manifested in me. I am sorry and I ask You to forgive me for relying on my wisdom. When the world sees You moving in my speech and my actions, I am glorifying You by how I live. It is not because of me; it is because of Your majesty; I have victory. In Your infinite provision, I don’t stand alone; You stand up in me along with every other Christian in the kingdom. Thank You!…

Jeremiah 29:11
2026-01-07
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. (KJV)
Do you know God is thinking about you?
The warfare you are in causes you to be anxious about who you will become, what you will accomplish, etc. Please know, you don’t have to map out your life. You don’t have to figure out the end. There is a plan for your life. You may not fully know what the plan is.
Just continue to seek God.
Acts 17:27 This was so that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grasp for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us. (AMP)
Keep in mind, He has ordered your steps.
Psalm 37:23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, And He delights in his way. (NKJV)
What you might think of as random or happenstance is in fact overseen by a sovereign, omniscient God who knows the number of hairs on your head. There are no coincidences. He created you, and He knows exactly why He created you.
Philippians 2:13 For it is [not your strength, but it is] God who is effectively at work in you, both to will and to work [that is, strengthening, energizing, and creating in you the longing and the ability to fulfill your purpose] for His good pleasure. (AMP)
He knows what you need to learn, what you need to experience, who you need to meet, etc. He laid the plan to accomplish your purpose and He will.
Isaiah 55:11 So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. (NKJV)
You can drop your shoulders and rest in God.
Please agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response:
Thank You, Father, for giving me peace about my life. Thank You for the plan You designed for my life. You created me and gave me tasks and purpose. I repent for acting like You don’t have my steps ordered and I am not under Your protection. The enemy used to whisper uncertainty in my ear. I bless You because the devil cannot torment me about what I have done or have not accomplished. I will continue to seek You. I will rejoice in each day and live it as You designed for it to be lived. I will learn what You already ordained for me to learn, and I will grow in You. You will get the victory. What You already accomplished in heaven will be manifested in me. In the name of Jesus…

Revelation 1:18
2026-01-08
Revelation 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. (KJV)
Are you living a defeated life?
Is it possible to know Christ, believe in your heart God saved you, but also be a long way from living as God intended? Is it enough to know that you are free from sin and death? Here are a few questions to ask yourself:

Do you believe bad luck is the reason terrible things happen to you?

Psalm 37:23-25 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. 24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand. 25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. (KJV)

Do you get angry and blame others for things you can’t control?

1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation [regardless of its source] has overtaken or enticed you that is not common to human experience [nor is any temptation unusual or beyond human resistance]; but God is faithful [to His word—He is compassionate and trustworthy], and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability [to resist], but along with the temptation He [has in the past and is now and] will [always] provide the way out as well, so that you will be able to endure it [without yielding, and will overcome temptation with joy]. (AMP)

Is your glass half full or half empty?

Jeremiah 29:11-13 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. 12 Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. (NKJV)

Are you still looking for God’s blessings in your life?

Psalm 103: 1- 6 O my soul, come, praise the Eternal with all that is in me—body, emotions, mind, and will—every part of who I am — praise His holy name. 2 O my soul, come, praise the Eternal; sing a song from a grateful heart; sing and never forget all the good He has done. 3 Despite all your many offenses, He forgives and releases you. More than any doctor, He heals your diseases. 4 He reaches deep into the pit to deliver you from death. He crowns you with unfailing love and compassion like a king. 5 When your soul is famished and withering, He fills you with good and beautiful things, satisfying you as long as you live. He makes you strong like an eagle, restoring your youth. 6 When people are crushed, wronged, enslaved, raped, murdered, the Eternal is just; He makes the wrongs right. (TVT)
Though you are in this warfare, understand the victory is already yours. The Lord God has defeated the principalities and powers that come against you daily. Stand on this truth because the enemy wants you to believe he is victorious. If you don’t understand God already has the victory, you will struggle and always feel overwhelmed by life. Your words will betray your heart and speak of a God who is not omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, and sovereign. God has already won the battle. Know it, think about it, and speak about it.
Please agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response:
Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank You for reminding me You already have the victory. Please forgive me for acting like You don’t. As I go through each day, help me remember I am victorious through You. Help me not to be moved by what I see, no matter how terrible and no matter how devastating. Help me hide who You are in my heart and I speak the right words about You. There is no being or force in existence anywhere that can compare in power to You. All wisdom and knowledge belong to You. You are present everywhere and at all times. The world, heaven, and earth are in Your hands. You created everything, not time nor space limits You. Help me change my focus. When I see You at work in every situation; I will trust You more…

Ephesians 2:2
2026-01-09
Ephesians 2:2 You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil—the commander of the powers in the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God. (NLT)
Do remember who you used to be?
Are there times when you forget who you were before salvation? Don’t allow the enemy to take away your testimony. Your heavenly Father has forgiven you. Your sins are in the sea of forgetfulness. God promised to remember them no more. Those are all reasons to celebrate. Your celebration is your testimony. If the devil has his way, you won’t tell it. You will conveniently leave out the ugly parts of your past.
Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved by faith. Nothing you did could ever earn this salvation, for it was the love gift from God that brought us to Christ! 9 So no one will ever be able to boast, for salvation is never a reward for good works or human striving. (TPT)
You don’t want to “act like” you did not need to be saved. Be careful that when you place your past in the sea of forgetfulness, you don’t forget what God did for you. If you do, you won’t have grace for those who are doing things you have forgotten you used to do.
Psalm 143:5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all that You have done; I ponder the work of Your hands. (AMP)
Without the memory of what God did for you, you will evaluate the actions of others, continually finding fault. As you observe friends, children, coworkers, etc., make sure you don’t give in to judgment. Read the parable of the unmerciful servant (Matthew 18:21-35 below).You don’t remember your past to be tormented by it. You remember your past to show mercy to others through your testimony.
Psalm 145:6-8 We confess—there is nothing greater than You, God, nothing mightier than Your awesome works. I will tell of Your greatness as long as I have breath. 7 The news of Your rich goodness is no secret — Your people love to recall it and sing songs of joy to celebrate Your righteousness. (TVT)
When you reflect on what God did for you, you give Him glory for who you are now. When you meet someone who is in the same place where you used to be, you understand everything he/she is going through. You can use where you were and what God did for you to speak life into the situation. Your transformation provides the foundation for the hope of your future. It also provides hope for anyone who hears your testimony.
Revelation 12:11 And they overcame and conquered him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, for they did not love their life and renounce their faith even when faced with death. (AMP)
You have no testimony without tests. Remember what God did for you; He can and will do the same for others.
Please agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response:
Dear Father God, I admit for every time I have been judgmental of the flaws and the stumbles in the lives of those around me. I remember I repented when You convicted me. Even as I think of it, I repent again right now. I am grateful for Your saving power. I am thankful for Your ability to deliver. I stand as a testimony to the miracle work You have done and continue to do in me, as I submit myself to You. Help me tell my story. Someone else can experience the transformation and joy You provide; please use me, I believe that is Your desire.

Matthew 18:23-34 (NKJV)
23 Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. 24 And when he had begun to settle accounts, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. 25 But as he was not able to pay, his master commanded that he be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and that payment be made. 26 The servant therefore fell down before him, saying, ‘Master, have patience with me, and I will pay you all.’ 27 Then the master of that servant was moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt. 28 “But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hands on him and took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe!’ 29 So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.’ 30 And he would not, but went and threw him into prison till he should pay the debt. 31 So when his fellow servants saw what had been done, they were very grieved, and came and told their master all that had been done. 32 Then his master, after he had called him, said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me. 33 Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?’ 34 And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him.”

Job 2:2
2026-01-10
Job 2:2 And the LORD said unto Satan, whence comest thou? And Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. (KJV)
Do you realize the enemy is stalking you?
Make no mistake about it, the enemy knows who you are. He understands, as he watches you, how you normally respond to stress and difficult situations. He takes note of the things you usually do to manage your life, handle situations, deal with problems, etc. Because his job is to steal, kill and destroy, he is looking for the opportunity to catch you unaware.
1 Peter 5:8 Be well balanced (temperate, sober of mind), be vigilant and cautious at all times; for that enemy of yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring [in fierce hunger], seeking someone to seize upon and devour. (AMPC)
There is a reason Peter compared the devil to a lion. Not only is the devil the great deceiver; he is also a skilled, confident, and experienced hunter. Like the lion, he patiently stalks his prey, invisible to them. He works best “at night”. By night, I mean when you are doing things you think no one sees. The devil possesses other lion-like attributes, he:

Tries to pick you off when you are weak and/or sick.

Matthew 4:2-3 And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry. 3 Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” (NKJV)

Sets traps to catch you when you have grown weary.

Isaiah 40:30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall. (NKJV)

Is aware when you have isolated yourself because of circumstances in your life.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. 10 If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble. (NLT)

Plays with you, instead of immediately going in for the kill.

Luke 4:13 And when the devil had ended every [the complete cycle of] temptation, he [temporarily] left Him [that is, stood off from Him] until another more opportune and favorable time. (AMPC)

Wants to trick you into responding in a way you thought God delivered you from.

Romans 7:15 For I do not understand my own actions [I am baffled and bewildered by them]. I do not practice what I want to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate [and yielding to my human nature, my worldliness—my sinful capacity]. (AMP)
Like the lion, he is constantly watching, looking for some opening into your life where he can try to wreak havoc and devour you. Your responsibility is to be on your guard. However, if he catches you from time to time, while in his grasp, you can call out for help.
Psalm 91:15 I will answer your cry for help every time you pray, and you will feel my presence in your time of trouble. I will deliver you and bring you honor. (TPT)
Please agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response:
Father, in the name of Jesus, I come thanking You for helping me recognize the enemy for who he is. He is unrelenting in his pursuit of me and is continually devising ways to destroy me. I also know I have to be just as unrelenting in my pursuit of You. I repent and ask You to please forgive me when I am not. Help me see the doors I have opened for the enemy to walk in and out of at will. Do in me what is necessary to be done and those doors will be closed permanently. Help me recognize my part. When he tries to get the upper hand, help me see how far You have brought me. Help me use his tactics against him and in Your favor. I commit to be more diligent in my walk and I thank You in advance for victory…

Acts 26:18
2026-01-11
Acts 26:18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. (KJV)
Are you willing to repent?
As you are coming to an understanding of what spiritual warfare actually is; the Lord God is opening your eyes. Repentance is a revelation, and it changed your life when the Lord saved you. If you are not saved, there is no better time than right now.
You can stop reading and go to the box at the bottom of page 5. Follow the instructions and return to this page; Saved!!!
If you returned, saved, congratulations. Please know, repentance is not just a onetime thing, it is an all the time thing. Repentance makes you rethink your choices. What used to be okay will not be okay anymore. God, through His infinite wisdom and unfailing mercy, will allow you to see what you thought was light was actually darkness. His forgiveness is wonderful and is available for you and to you because of His love.
1 John 1:9 If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just [true to His own nature and promises], and will forgive our sins and cleanse us continually from all unrighteousness [our wrongdoing, everything not in conformity with His will and purpose]. (AMP)
Confession and repentance break the strongholds the enemy created because of past activities. Then the Father will forgive you of your sins. However, He does not stop there. He will also cleanse and purifying you from the pollution of all the sins you have committed (unrighteousness). His boundless love provides even more blessing and benefits of repentance.

God will refresh you.

Acts 3:19 So repent [change your inner self—your old way of thinking, regret past sins] and return [to God—seek His purpose for your life], so that your sins may be wiped away [blotted out, completely erased], so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord [restoring you like a cool wind on a hot day]. (AMP)

You will draw closer to your Father in Heaven, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.

Zechariah 1:3a Therefore say to them [the Jews of this day], Thus says the Lord of hosts: Return to Me, says the Lord of hosts, and I will return to you. (AMPC)

You won’t just talk the talk; you will walk the walk.

Matthew 3:8 So produce fruit that is consistent with repentance [demonstrating new behavior that proves a change of heart, and a conscious decision to turn away from sin]. (AMP)

You will prosper.

Proverbs 28:13 He who conceals his transgressions will not prosper, But whoever confesses and turns away from his sins will find compassion and mercy. (AMP)
When you think about what repentance has done for you, you can open the eyes of others. It is just like any other good thing that happens to you. You want to share it. You will want to be a part of someone else’s breakthrough. If you don’t repent, you won’t be able to share the blessings.
Please agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response:
Heavenly Father, I am overwhelmed and excited because of Your love for me. You care enough to give me revelation on the continual need for repentance. In doing so, You brought me out of darkness into Your light. Right now, I repent for the time I could have been living for You in a deeper way if repentance was a way of life. You love me enough to forgive me for my ignorance and disobedience and cleanse me from all unrighteousness. I am extremely grateful for the ability to repent; it puts me back in right standing with You. My faith is increasing with each day that passes, with each wrong I confess, and with each time You forgive me. Thank You!…
