1. HOW TO OVERCOME
WHAT
IS
OVERCOMING YOU!
MATTHEW 10:16
16 “I AM SENDING YOU OUT LIKE SHEEP AMONG
WOLVES. THEREFORE BE AS SHREWD AS SNAKES AND AS
INNOCENT AS DOVES.
3. 2 Corinthians 4:4
4 The god of this age has blinded the minds of
unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the
gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image
of God.
‘god’ with a small ‘g’ is human instated authority.
By choosing to serve evil, we vote the entity of evil into
power and thus end up in the kingdom of that entity.
SATAN IS THE GOD OF
THIS AGE.
4. THE CITIZENS OF THIS
KINGDOM DESPISE PURITY.
John 15:19
If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own.
As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen
you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.
Every Kingdom has rules. The rules of this kingdom are:
Selfish greed. Every man for himself. Charity begins at
home. It will stay that way until we vote Christ into
power.
Mark 6:4-6
4 Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town,
among his relatives and in his own home.” 5 He could not do any miracles there,
except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them. 6 He was amazed at their
lack of faith.
5. 2) USE WHAT
WAS MEANT
FOR EVIL.
YOU CANNOT CHANGE WHAT HAPPENED
TO YOU. YOU CAN ONLY CHANGE WHAT
HAPPENS NEXT.
6. Isaiah 61:3-7
3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes,
the oil of joy instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD
for the display of his splendor.
4 They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long
devastated;
they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for
generations.
5 Strangers will shepherd your flocks; foreigners will work your fields
and vineyards.
6 And you will be called priests of the LORD, you will be named
ministers of our God.
You will feed on the wealth of nations, and in their riches you will
boast.
7 Instead of your shame you will receive a double portion,
and instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your inheritance.
And so you will inherit a double portion in your land,
and everlasting joy will be yours.
8. IT IS A CLEAR CHOICE.
Joshua 24:15
15 But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then
choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve,
whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the
Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land
you are living. But as for me and my household, we will
serve the LORD.”
10. HOW WE ARE TAUGHT
TO PRAY.
Matthew 6:10
10 your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
This is our assignment. We are to bring God into authority
over this world so that the rules of HIS kingdom may flourish!
