The attack is within

                      The attack is within

  This maybe hard to read/hear!  The armour is to be put on before the attack; maybe during the attack.  Now what if the attacker is already inside the fort(house).  Now I am aware that there is a view that the evil ones can not enter a Christian; the point is that how ever we want to look at it, it seems that the evil one(s) have gotten in.  More than that they have a grip.  Their holding on and doing the things they do. Now it maybe just one reeking havoc or more. 

  We must remember that they are strong!  As with the armour it is not any regular armour; it is the armour of God!  The strength needed comes from God through the Son and from Son the to the Holy Spirit and from the Holy Spirit to us.  Yes we still proclaim the name of Jesus Christ...  Let's look at Eph.4:28 One has a problem with stealing; what does one do?  You renounce and ask for forgiveness,  the renounce here it kick out that spirit.  But you can not stop there.  There is a void/hole that needs to be filled.  Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. There is work to be done(not always physical work) and with that work a manifestation of giving.  In the name of Jesus  Christ is the power to tell evil spirits to leave and than as we surrender to Jesus He directs us to put on a new trait/work to minister to others.  That is what is meant in Eph4:22-24.  As our example one needs to stop stealing then one needs to do something, work but not just work, give.  It is simple but there needs to be faith in our God and Jesus Christ our savior.  A short out line:

1. Conviction (A sermon, a believer, friend...  THE HOLY SPIRIT)

2. Repentance: Asking God for forgiveness 1john1:9 read all of 1john

3. Recognizing the threat and armour up

4. renounce the threat  cast out or repel

5. Take control of the area and protect it.

6. Replace the action with Godly actions

7. Be on the alert put on the armour

8.  Repeat:  Let's be real it is hard!  Be that we start at 1. again or we are at 3. or 5. or 6. The key is the Word of God and Prayer and Faith and Trust in God and do not give up!  Ask for prayer.
