TD Jakes (December-30-2023) Daily Devotional: The Fight for Spiritual Territory.
Bible Quote: "Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand." - Ephesians 6:13
The spiritual battle we engage in as believers is not just a passive affair; it's an active fight for our destiny and the territory God has given us.
The enemy is content when we are mere spectators in our faith, passively attending church without genuine engagement or worship.
But the moment we transition from being spectators to active participants in worship, raising our hands and hearts to God, we step onto the battlefield for our spiritual territory.
This shift in our approach to faith – from passive observation to active worship – signifies a threat to the enemy's hold on our lives and our destinies.
It's a declaration of war against the forces that seek to keep us from fulfilling God's purpose for us.
Your active worship, your raised hands, and your heartfelt praises are weapons in this spiritual warfare, reclaiming the territory the enemy has tried to steal.
It’s crucial to understand that the intensity of the battle is a sign of the value of the territory you are fighting for.
Your "shall be," your destiny, your purpose in Christ – these are the lands you are called to hold and cultivate.
The struggles and opposition you face are indicative of the significance of what God has in store for you.
Therefore, in these moments of spiritual warfare, we are called not to retreat but to stand firm.
Equipped with the full armor of God, we are to hold our ground, steadfast in faith, knowing that the battle is not just for our present but for the future God has ordained for us.
Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord – this fight for the territory is an assurance that you are on the brink of claiming what is rightfully yours in Christ.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, empower us to be active participants in our faith, engaging in worship and standing firm against the enemy. Remind us that the battles we face are indicators of the valuable territory You have assigned to us. Help us to hold our ground, clothed in Your armor, confident in the victory that is ours in Christ. May we stand firm, witnessing Your salvation and claiming our God-given destiny. Amen.
