Ephesians 6:16-18 In every battle, take faith as your wrap-around shield, for it is able to extinguish the blazing arrows coming at you from the Evil One! 17–18 Embrace the power of salvation’s full deliverance, like a helmet to protect your thoughts from lies. And take the mighty razor-sharp Spirit-sword of the spoken Word of God. Pray passionately in the Spirit, as you constantly intercede with every form of prayer at all times. Pray the blessings of God upon all his believers. The Passion Translation
Faith Or Fear? Which One Do Our Actions Reflect?
Are we permitting demonic empowered fear to cause us to retreat in the father of lies F.alse E.vidence A.ppearing R.eal? Are we retreating in fear or advancing in faith-followship? The enemy will use the unpredictable things of this world to create an atmosphere of fear in our soul that keeps us from advancing in followship-faith. Say YES to faith, no to fear. A fear reaction is retreat, a faith response is advancing. Which one are we doing? Retreating? Advancing The Kingdom Of God? Standing on the side of truth, praying and not relinquishing our holy ground? Are we reacting to the culture of a worldly viewpoint or are we responding to God’s intentionally kingdom culturing? Worldly Culture of fear or Kingdom culture of faith? Which one are we engaged in Bride of Christ? Fear or Faith? Which one do our actions reflect? Fear or Faith? Worldly Culture or Kingdom Culture? What say you? Change it up and advance courageously forward in faith, or retreat in fear?

2 Corinthians 5:4-7 So, while living in this “tent,” we groan under its burden, not because we want to die but because we want these new bodies. We crave for all that is mortal to be swallowed up by eternal life. 5 And this is no empty hope, for God himself is the one who has prepared us for this wonderful destiny. And to confirm this promise, he has given us the Holy Spirit, like an engagement ring, as a guarantee. 6 That’s why we’re always full of courage. Even while we’re at home in the body, we’re homesick to be with the Master— 7 for we live by faith, not by what we see with our eyes. The Passion Translation
Our Enemy Operates Illegally~Shut Him Down~Pray It UP
Are we letting the lies of the enemy operate illegally through our retreating fear? Demonic principalities thrive off of our fear generated by their assumptive, speculative presuppositions, fake reality and false narrative. The enemy is inflicting harm and we have the power and authority in Christ to stop it. Pray it up. There are so many divisive false narratives that confuse and cause chaotic reactions. Will we let this continue or will we yield our shield of faith and sword of the spirit and say: No More! Do we need to be advancing forward by followship-faith in times such as these? What say you? Will you give Jesus total access to your life and will you stand courageously with Him on the side of His Spirit and Truth? Yield The Sword Of God’s Spirit, The Reality Of Truth.

The Python Spirit~Acts 16:16-24 One day, as we were going to the house of prayer, we encountered a young slave girl who had an evil spirit of divination, the spirit of Python.[a] She had earned great profits for her owners by being a fortune-teller. 17 She kept following us, shouting, “These men are servants of the Great High God, and they’re telling us how to be saved!” 18 Day after day she continued to do this, until Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit indwelling her, “I command you in the name of Jesus, the Anointed One, to come out of her, now!” At that very moment, the spirit came out of her! 19 When her owners realized that their potential of making profit had vanished, they forcefully seized Paul and Silas and dragged them off to the city square to face the authorities. 20 When they appeared before the Roman soldiers and magistrates, the slave owners leveled accusations against them, saying, “These Jews are troublemakers. They’re throwing our city into confusion. 21 They’re pushing their Jewish religion down our throats. It’s wrong and unlawful for them to promote these Jewish ways, for we are Romans living in a Roman colony.” The Passion Translation
“As Paul continues his outreach to Jews and God-fearers, he is accosted by a slave girl who had a spirit by which she predicted the future (literally, “a spirit, Python”; see note). She is twice bound, spiritually and economically, for her masters are making quite a profit by exploiting her occult powers. Yet what engages Paul with her is her spiritual opposition to his mission. Day after day she follows Paul and his team, shouting (literally, “crying out repeatedly”), “These men are servants of the Most High God, who are telling you the way to be saved” (literally, “a way of salvation”). This announcement both helps and hinders the mission.” The Passion Commentary

Matthew 16:15 “But you—who do you say that I am?” Jesus asked. 16 Simon Peter spoke up and said, “You are the Anointed One, the Son of the living God!” 17 Jesus replied, “You are favored and privileged Simeon, son of Jonah! For you didn’t discover this on your own, but my Father in heaven has supernaturally revealed it to you. 18 I give you the name Peter, a stone. And this truth of who I am will be the bedrock foundation on which I will build my church—my legislative assembly, and the power of death will not be able to overpower it! 19 I will give you the keys of heaven’s kingdom realm to forbid on earth that which is forbidden in heaven, and to release on earth that which is released in heaven.
“Legislative Assembly ~This is not a religious term at all, but a political and governmental term that is used many times in classical Greek for a group of people who have been summoned and gathered together to govern the affairs of a city. For Jesus to use this term means he is giving the keys of governmental authority in his kingdom to the church.” The Passion Translation Commentary Matthew 16 Think On This Luke 10: 19 Now you understand that I have imparted to you all my authority to trample over his kingdom. You will trample upon every demon before you and overcome every power Satan possesses. Absolutely nothing will be able to harm you as you walk in this authority.

“There is no power of darkness that can stop the advancing church that Jesus builds.” The Passion Translation Commentary
Whatever you permit, on the earth, will be permitted. Pray it up! The church legislates and decides what continues to battle against us. Pray It Up! We have exercised cultural fear more than we have taken kingdom cultured dominion over this demon. Pray It Up! We must lock our shield of faith together; we must corporately stand in faith. Pray It Up! Exercising our spiritual authority, praying it up to God, yielding our Sword of the Spirit, shouting out to our enemy: NO MORE!
