"The enemy is winning and darkness is increasing, so my prayers and faith don't really matter."
How it sounds in your head: I pray and nothing changes. I see evil everywhere, legislation against God, culture getting worse. What difference does my little faith make against all THAT? I feel like I'm screaming into a void.
"You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world."
-- 1 John 4:4Source: enemy - Spirit of powerlessness designed to make her retreat from spiritual authority she ACTUALLY carries as a believer.
News is bleak, prayers feel unanswered, and she feels like one tiny person against massive evil systems. Powerlessness feels like realism when you can't see the spiritual realm.
Servant saw the enemy army surrounding them and panicked. Elisha prayed his EYES be opened, and he saw the mountain FULL of horses and chariots of FIRE. The invisible army was BIGGER. What you can't see is GREATER than what you can.
I REFUSE the lie that darkness is winning. IT IS WRITTEN: 'He who is in me is GREATER than he who is in the world.' I am not powerless. I carry the GREATER ONE. The enemy is not ADVANCING, he is DEFEATED, and I enforce the victory Jesus already WON. IT IS WRITTEN: 'The gates of hell will NOT prevail against the church.' I am that church. My prayers MOVE heaven. My faith SHIFTS atmospheres. I am the head and not the tail, and the enemy is UNDER my feet where Jesus put him.
Your Father sees you feeling small and He's running toward you with the horses and chariots of fire you can't see yet, saying 'Daughter, those who are WITH you are MORE than those against you. You're not losing. You're LOADED with backup.'
