“The God of peace will soon crush satan under your feet.”

 

Romans 16:20 

The peace that God gives is more powerful than the noise of the adversary. When Jesus in the boat spoke to the storm, the howling winds and waves obeyed His voice. (Matthew 8:26) What is your storm today? When you put your problems into God’s hands, He will put His peace in your heart and that is the real victory because if you truly believe, your heart will be at rest.

 

The battleground is your heart and that is why the enemy does not come against you with natural weapons but with fear, doubt, worry and unbelief in your heart.

 

 

Remember we are not fighting a natural battle but spiritual entities that cause pressure and tension in our heart and mind. (Ephesians 6:12) We have no sufficient strength of our own. Our natural courage is as perfect cowardice and our natural strength as perfect weakness but all our sufficiency is of God. In His strength, we must go forth and go on. So, when you learn not to fight your own battle but to leave the battle to God, that is when His peace will crush satan under your feet. 

WHAT BELONGS TO GOD

This instruction of Jesus reminds us that whatever we do in this earth, whatever we encounter and whatever comes our way, nothing should take our heart from God. Different responsibilities, challenges and pressures may fight for our attention but nothing should take the place of God in our heart, because our heart belongs to Him.

ALLOW THE HOLY SPIRIT TO LEAD YOU

When we pay attention to the Word of God, seeing it not as an ordinary word but the Word of God, then our mind will be renewed and our heart will begin to desire the things from above. We must be spiritually inclined to discover spiritual things.

THE GARDEN OF DECISION

In the garden of Eden, a place of pleasure, a place of abundance, a place of intimacy with God, Adam disobeyed.
In the garden of Gethsemane, a place of pain, a place of sorrow, a place of suffering where before Him was the weight of the sins of the world and rejection from God, Jesus obeyed.
