Philippians 4:13 (NKJV) 13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
On our own, we are weak and feeble; Powerless.
But through Him, we are strong and mighty; Powerful!
Sometimes we don’t feel very strong or very mighty. And we definitely have many times when we don’t feel powerful.
Why? Because we get caught in the trap of the enemy and we start looking at things through our own eyes, instead of the eyes of God.
Our heads will always show us the worst of everything. Our minds will believe the lies of the enemy because we can’t make sense of something or because we can’t comprehend what God is telling us He is going to do for us.
But we don’t live by our heads, our understanding or our intellect. We live by the Spirit of God!
Romans 8:13 (NKJV) 13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
If we live by our heads, we will trust only what our eyes can see. But as we learn to live by God’s spirit, we will learn a new way of trusting Him. And as we learn to trust Him in everything, we will no longer rely on our eyes or our natural understanding.
Instead, we will begin to learn to walk by faith! And as we learn to walk in faith, our spiritual eyes will be opened and we will see things in a whole new light.
2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV) 7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.
Let’s not fall prey to the wiles of the enemy, which bring spiritual blindness and weakness. But, instead, put on the armor of God that we can stand in victory!
Ephesians 6:11 (NKJV) 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
