“And I will give unto thee the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven” Matthew 16:19.

Sometimes we fail to realize the kingdom authority given to us by the Lord. He has given us the authority and the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven to war against the powers and principalities of darkness.

Sometimes when we are feeling discouraged and overwhelmed, we forget that we have the power through our Lord and savior, Christ Jesus, to rebuke the enemy who is warring against our spirit. Remember that we are already victorious and more than conquers through Christ Jesus.

Don’t be deceived into thinking that the enemy is just going to allow us to walk into the will and the blessings of God without giving us a fight. He is going to bring spiritual warfare and use all hindrances and obstacles that he can find in order to get us out of the flow of God’s will and great blessings.

He is bringing discouragement, depression, doubt and unbelief, spirits of division, confusion and strife. He is pulling out all that he can stop us from entering into the purpose and the plan of God for our lives. But from this day forward, we must discern and recognize the enemy before he backs us into a corner and cause us to feel hopeless and helpless!

Remember that when you see him coming, that you are a child of the king so put on the whole armor of God and use your Kingdom Authority through the power of the Christ Jesus!

The next time the enemy tries to back you down, stand your ground by submitting to the lord and resist that old devil. Begin to speak words through the power and the might of Almighty God. Then stand back and watch him flee from the presence of the Holy Spirit!

“Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us” Romans 8:37.

“Put on the whole armour of god, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil” Ephesians 6:11.
