LIFTED
Whenever the ability of God is spoken of, it is always in superlative terms. Eph. 3:20. There is no amount of word you can put together to capture it. God can only be limited by your resistance and resistance comes from the carnal (unregenerate) will of man. Text – Psalm 40:1-5. Vs 1 – “I waited patiently for the Lord and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry”. Anywhere God intervenes, there is wonder and if it is not wonderful then it cannot be God.

Confronting the Strongman (cont.)
Things you need to know – Only those who are in Christ, those who are genuinely born again, can confront the strongman. Psa. 44:4-7. Without divine connection through Jesus Christ, without being deeply rooted in Christ, nobody can confront the strongman. Every strongman is entrenched in a stronghold; he is the spiritual Bin Laden operating from Kandahar. Before you can overthrow the strongman, you must receive power from above. You need to understand the believer’s authority – Matt. 28:18-20 “… all power is given unto me in heaven and in the earth, go ye therefore and teach all nations …world”. Luke 10:19. All power here means authority and dynamic power;…
