THE MYSTERY OF THE BREACH IN THE BEAUTY:
DEALING WITH THE STRENGTH KILLER
REFERENCES: ROMANS 8:11, ISAIAH 7:5-7, ISAIAH 22:9-7, I JOHN 5:20-21, EPHESIANS 4:27, JOHN 14:30
Every breach in your life is a strength killer.
Every error - in career, marriage, destiny- kills strength. Just as breaches weaken the integrity of a building, they also exist in your life to weaken you by killing your strength.
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
There is the spirit of him who used wicked hands to kill Jesus. (Acts 2:23)
There is the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead…
God puts His Spirit in you in order to quicken you.
He quickens your body by His Spirit in you.
When you are born again, you have His Spirit in your spirit. Your body must also receive that Spirit, so that He can quicken- revive and strengthen- it.
The devil also seeks to put his spirit in your body. However, while God’s Spirit quickens your body, the devil works to weaken your body by his spirit within you.
The devil knows that his spirit cannot get to your spirit (since your spirit is already born of God), so he works to get his spirit into your body, and kill its strength.
This means that both God and the devil are looking for a space in your body.
A life in which God dwells will be full of life, strength, fire, and power. When His Spirit is in your body, you will enjoy a vigorous prayer life.
It is therefore your responsibility to deny the devil, and his weakening agenda- sin, sickness, prayerless-ness, powerlessness- any space in your body.
Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have taken evil counsel against thee, saying, let us go up against Judah, and vex it, and let us make a breach therein for us, and set a king in the midst of it, even the son of Tabeal
These adversaries knew that they could not achieve their evil agenda until there was a breach.
Until there is a breach in your life, the enemy cannot get his spirit into your life. He therefore looks out for an unguarded moment of error in your life, by which you give space to his spirit in you.
The devil cannot gain access to the secret of your power, strength and prosperity until there is a breach.
Through the breach, he sees. Through the breach, he gains access to douse your fire, to weaken your power, to scatter your prosperity.
When the enemy succeeds in creating a breach in your life, he will set a stranger therein. He will place one of his own in your world- your body, marriage, business, ministry, career- and use them to work weakness and loss into your life.
…Thus saith the LORD God, it shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass.
God knows what the success of their mission means to your strength and progress, and has therefore declared the divine judgement in your favour.
He declares that their agenda shall neither stand nor come to pass.
Sadly, the people of Judah did not wield the divine judgement against the enemies’ agenda…
Study the above portion of the scripture backwards. As you do, you will see the last revealing the first thing.
Ye have seen also the breaches of the city of David, that they are many: and ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool
The invasion upon the city of David came to be, because the enemy saw that there were many breaches- errors- in their midst.
When your adversaries see that their mission to vex you into committing error has succeeded- in creating many breaches in your life- they will move on to the next phase.
And he discovered the covering of Judah, and thou didst look in that day to the armour of the house of the forest.
Once the enemy sees breaches in your life, he is able to discover the secret of your strength; he will discover your protective cover, and all of your powerhouse.
And it shall come to pass, that thy choicest valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.
Then, they will launch their attack.
When you discover that your once beautiful places are now full of battles; that the things you once enjoyed have now become problematic; it is a sign that the enemy has found a place in you.
They created a place- a breach- for themselves in you, and planted a stranger there. That gave them access to discover and disarm your secret- your powerhouse.
Now that their patient planning has paid off; and you are exposed and vulnerable, they have launched their attack.
And we know that the son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
And we [have seen and] know [positively] that the Son of God has [actually] come to this world and had given us understanding and insight [progressively] to perceive (recognize) and com to know better and more clearly Him Who is true; and we are in Him Who is true- in His Son Jesus Christ (the Messiah). This [Man] is the true God and Life eternal. [AMP]
The letters of John were addressed to three categories of people: little children, young men, and fathers.
Here, he lets it be known that all are in Christ, no matter what category they belong to.
Brethren, you are still in Christ. Despite your present struggles with demonic attacks, or the spiritual, mental or physical afflictions you are enduring at present; you are in Christ.
Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
Little children, keep yourselves from idols (false gods)- [from anything and everything that would occupy the place in your heart due to God, form any sort of substitute for Him that would take first place in your life]. Amen (so let it be). [AMP]
You are in Christ.
You are not in idols or in ancestral powers.
However, they will come again, to seek a place in your life.
This warning is repeated by Christ…
…the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
…and by Paul.
Neither give place to the devil…
It is now your responsibility to keep yourself from them; to say no to them.
You must not give any place to these vile beings- sin, sickness, evil ancestral patterns, history, and experiences.
The fight is on for a space in your life; to quicken or weaken you.
The Word has sounded the warning.
The evil one is coming, and seeks something, a place in you.
DO NOT give him space.
Let nothing of the devil be found in you.
Little children, keep your soul, mind, body, marriage, business, career, children…from the devil. AMEN.
