The devil is more afraid of us than we are afraid of him. He knows if we ever learn about who we are due to the work of the cross, he's finished.

It;s like Rahab informing the two spies of Israel how fearful Jericho was of Israel for forty years ever since they heard God dried up the Red Sea before them. Imagine their thoughts after knowing their parents feared Canaan forty years earlier! Had Israel known the enemy was that fearful of them....!!!

My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge.
Excellent! When we know who we are in Christ... there is a powerful source of strength in knowing that whatever happens, we are in Christ, and the battle is His. A true gamechanger!

It is all in our thinking! When we understand and know in our hearts who we are, the possibilities are unlimited in what Christ can do through us. '

Great preaching stuff for sure!
