Spiritual Warfare - Why Most Christians are Powerless

Most Christians have no power against the devil.  They cannot even contain their own flesh, they don’t have self-control because they do not have the Holy Spirit.  They have not submitted themselves to JESUS and therefore they cannot stand against the devil.  Many of them think that they can stand in their own power.  Their weapon is their Bible, their Bible knowledge. Dear friends, you cannot fight the devil on the level of the intellect. Most Christians don’t even have the power to switch off the Television TV or to run their household affairs.  They don’t have the authority because they themselves are not SUBMITTED to the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD.
Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 He says: “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, and we are ready to punish all disobedience, whenever your obedience is complete.”  Dear friends, we do not fight against flesh and blood. Our struggle is against the invisible forces in the air that are controlling this world and most Christians are controlled by these demons because they are not SUBMITTED to the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD.  You cannot fight the devil on the level of your intellect.  Jesus said: Without Me you can do nothing. Some Scripture knowledge in your head and some verses that you quote cannot defeat the devil my friend. It is the SPIRIT of GOD that WORKS IN YOU that DESTROYS the forces of darkness. It is the discernment of the Holy Spirit that He imparts into you into your spirit.  According to the Spirit of God that works IN you that determines the power of God that flows through you.  As Paul also said that those who are led by the Spirit of God they are the sons of God, and few there are today that are truly sons of God. Majority of Christians are a push over, they run away from the devil.  They cannot even stop sinning.  Dear friend if you want to overcome, you need the Holy Spirit of God dwelling inside of you or else the devil will defeat you every time. You will not stand against sin, you will not stand against temptation, you will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.  You need the POWER of GOD to destroy the works of the devil. Firstly in your own life and then to work for the Kingdom of God UNDER the guidance of the HOLY SPIRIT.
REPENT of SIN, BE HOLY, SUBMIT yourself to GOD, RESIST the DEVIL and HE WILL FLEE from you and be LED by the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD and you will OVERCOME.
May Jesus bless you.
