In Christ, with every new advancing comes new withstandings and new challenges, and with each new spiritual progression and fruit comes fresh temptations. The enemy is always trying to set us back or to keep us from moving forward. So be alert and on your guard for they are coming. Coming in the form of a hello, a messaging, a conversation, a song, a dance, a text, a phone call. Coming by friction, by fire, by discord, by strife, by the desires of the eyes, and of the flesh, in a pair of shoes, on the screen, from uttering lips, and the serpents sway, hisses, and other formations of his presented to you powers set in motion against you.
Every sin that goes un-resisted is another walk around spiritual Mt. Sinai, the mountain where all the Jewish people for 40 years spun their tires in the mud because their sins from unbelief never allowed their feet to make progressions positive traction. Things had to die off of their lives before their feet finally gripped the ground of grace offered without slipping and then, and only then to the promise land they went to obtain its milk and honey. But even there they still had to FIGHT to lay holt of the blessings of the milk and the HONEY.
Note.... Just because Israel, Gods people, just because their feet landed in the promise land, that landing did not mean the battle was over and it did not cause the land to automatically give up over to them, or hand over to them all its resources, treasures, goods pile ups, milk and honey (or the Spiritual riches of Grace and Blessing). There were opposing enemies that were going to resist them to keep them from taking full possession of the treasures, the goods, the milk and the HONEY. They had to be of good courage and in faith go with God and fight all those spiritual and physical BEES to possess it all. We fight and win by obeying Jesus, and we fight and win by believing God.
Jesus taught us himself how important it is for all of us to say GET THEE BEHIND ME SATAN AND MEAN IT. Notice with me that AFTER Jesus had resisted the devil and put him BEHIND HIM, the bible says Jesus left temptations mountain and returned to the people IN THE POWER OF THE SPIRIT (Luke 4:13-15). Jesus resisted victoriously therefore he tasted the HONEY OF THE ANOINTING, of the Power of God in his life and divine calling as both Lord and Christ. He resisted the devil. He stayed single minded on his calling and in pleasing and serving God and us. He believed and obeyed God the Father. Jesus lived everyday in the HONEY of the Blessings of the Spirit and Presence of God from the Anointing, from the blessing of God in his life.
When Satan the king bee came to oppose Jesus, Jesus resisted him and put him behind him. When the lesser imps/bees came against him, Jesus controlled them and cast them out and not the other way around. Jesus got to the Honey of the Presence of Gods Spirit and Blessings by prayer/fasting/resisting the devil/by believing and obeying God faithfully/keeping his eyes on the work that God called him to do and never taking his hands off that plow. Every day Jesus was walking to the Cross and he never turned back.
The Blessing of the Lord was upon Jesus and in his life without measure. Anything He asked the Father happened and His blessing poured over beyond his banks into many others lives thru light, thru wisdom, thru the power of God, thru healing's, provisions, and miracles of deliverance's , etc.....deno.....share freely.
