Jesus is different than every other religion. Every other religion's principles could exist without their founders, but Christianity could not exist without Jesus. Christianity is not simply a doctrine; it is a person. It is more than rules; it is a marriage with Jesus that changes us from the inside out. 

Our battle is not won by fighting in our own flesh and blood strength but by fighting the enemy in God's strength. Even though we are fighting in God's strength, it is still OUR struggle. It is OUR warfare, and we must learn how to fight and overcome the enemy. If we don't know we are fighting with principalities and powers, we are already losing. Until the power of Satan is broken, there are different strongholds over individuals, homes, churches, communities, regions, and nations. According to 2 Corinthians 10:5, it is OUR job to pull down strongholds that exalt themselves above the knowledge of God. 

Self-pity is a magnet that draws bad things to you. It keeps you immobile, always looking inward and rarely toward God. When God didn’t approve of Cain’s offering, he got into self-pity instead of asking God where he was wrong. He continued down the road of self-pity and then self-destruction.

Are you recognizing the generational curses in your life and family line? Many believers do not see their problems as generational curses. They do not realize that God has given them the authority to break curses that have been passed down. The good news is that God has redeemed us from the curse and wants to move us into His blessings. 

When we let offense set in our hearts, it can become deadly. How you handle opportunities to be offended will determine whether you grow or not spiritually. Offense can trip us up, cause us to stumble, and ultimately entice us into sin. Offense is something we need to get rid of completely. Ask the Lord if there is any area where you have been offended, and then repent to the Lord until you feel that area is cleared up. 

Do you really believe that God is for you? What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? -Romans 8:31-32. God is not a man that He should lie. His Words are true, but we have a choice to either take God's Words to heart or the enemy's. 

It is so very important for us to know the character of God. Do you know how your heavenly Father acts? Do you know God's character well enough to know when someone says something wrong about Him? When we blame or get disappointed with God for things that are coming from the enemy, we open a door that is very hard to close. But thankfully, now we are under a better covenant where we can see the true character of God and shut the doors open to the enemy.

No matter the attack, don't stop on what God has assigned you to build. God will do the heavy lifting if we submit to Him and His plan. But it is important to remember that even God's plans come under attack from the enemy. There are attitudes (the enemy) and actions (from people) that will come against us when we begin God's work. We must stay on the wall and keep building!
