How to Defeat the Enemy – Part 3

Read I Peter 5:5-10

 

1 Peter 5:10 - But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. 

The word strengthen used in the above verse means to be able to stand. God wants us to stand strong in our defense of the Truth of His Word!

  • How to be strengthened

 

Romans 10:17 - Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God! We all need spiritual strength. 

 

We are to place ourselves in a position to learn more about the Good News of Jesus Christ and as we learn more, we are to teach others these same truths we have learned. 

 

The Lord strengthens us and helps us to grow in knowledge and understanding of Him and His Word, but He never intended us to be reservoirs that just take in and take in, He wants His Truths to flow through us to others. 

 

That’s why He tells us in 2 Timothy 2:2, “And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.”

 

I Timothy 4:8, “For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.”
