The understanding you receive from God's Word is your promised land. In the Lord, you can and should enjoy the good things He has made available to you. God is only waiting for your determination to declare yourself victorious: If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land. But if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword”; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.  (Isaiah 1:19 -20).

This promised land is lovingly cared for by the Lord, and we possess it through the faith that comes from hearing His Word (Romans 10:17). As we live in obedience to the Father, just as Jesus lived, the presence of the one true God enables us to enjoy everything that is good and best in this land. We must not fail to enter the Lord’s garden and experience the abundant life He offers (John 10:10b). Take possession of all that Christ has accomplished!

The Lord never takes His eyes off this wonderful land, destined to be the dwelling place of those who put their faith in Jesus. In it, there is healing for the sick, deliverance for those oppressed by the devil, and authority for the citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven to defend themselves against the attacks of the kingdom of darkness. Those who align themselves with God’s plan can, and should, use the weapons of righteousness to overcome evil (2 Corinthians 10:4).

God never takes His eyes off those who trust in His love and live according to His will. Such people are able to remain free from the forces of evil. There is no power greater than the Lord’s, who works according to the faith we place in Him. Through this faith, we can live in the authority we have in Christ Jesus. The devil will never defeat those who trust in the Lord and, by faith, exercise the authority He has given them (Luke 10:19).

No matter what situation you are facing, if you are being attacked by any force of evil, use the Name of Jesus to rebuke it. Then rest in the Lord. Even if the enemy appears invincible, in the end he will surrender, and you will come out victorious (Romans 8:31–37). The devil knows he has already been defeated by Jesus. Therefore, stand firm in your faith in the Son of God and never bow to the adversary. The Lord is with you at all times!

The devil cannot destroy you because the Almighty is at your side, fighting for you. Therefore, discern how the enemy is attacking your life and, with faith and resolve, rebuke him and command him to leave. Even when there seems to be no cure or deliverance, declare freedom from evil and remain firm. Truly, God fights on your behalf!

God is present in our lives every day, which means He will never leave us nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5). Believe this and quietly trust in His Word. The Most High will enter the battle to give you victory. God is the strength of your life so never fear the threats of the enemy!
