FOUNDATION

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that

needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. — 2 TIMOTHY 2:15

Someone who reads about how I took my authority over the

spirits binding my brother might say, “I believe I’ll try that.” It

won’t work if you try it. I didn’t just try it — I did it!

Just because someone sees a traffic policeman exercising his

authority doesn’t mean they can run out in front of the cars and

say, “I believe I’ll try that.” No one would obey them. Now, if

they would put on a policeman’s uniform and put a whistle in

their mouth, people would stop. They would recognize the

authority behind the policeman.

Believers sometimes hear how someone else used their

authority, and they think, I’ll try that because I heard him say it.

It worked for him, so it will work for me. Satan knows they are

not convinced of their authority, and when they try to act on

God’s Word without really having the Word built into their

spirits, and without having the solid foundation of it built into

their lives, the devil will defeat them — and defeat them

soundly.

But when you’ve built a foundation of the Word of God in you,

and you act on God’s Word, you’ll defeat the devil in every

combat!

Confession:

I study to shew myself approved unto God. I build the truths

of God’s Word into my life and spirit. I am convinced by God’s

Word of my authority. I cannot be defeated. And the devil knows

it!
