The ways to strengthen ourselves in time of attacks

Sometimes, we experience our greatest attacks, when we are closest to our calling. I believe everyone experiences prolonged periods of waiting in certain areas. Mentioned below are few ways, we can strengthen ourselves in the Lord in these times.

 Strengthen Yourself In The Lord

 1. Sing to God - God who is holy, inhabits the praises of His people. His presence will come to you at that moment and change your atmosphere and perspective. When everything is going to chaos, if you want to be strong in the Lord, learn to sing to Him.

 2. Speak In Tongues - We are commanded to sing in tongues, speak in tongues, and pray in tongues. You have to actively engage with them to get strengthened.

3. Speak To Your Soul - David did this a lot, especially throughout the Psalms (Psalm 42:2-7). You have to realize that you are not your thoughts. You have thoughts. In the same way, you are not your emotions; you have emotions and you can speak to them.

4. Strengthen Others - We actually strengthen ourselves in the Lord, when we are feeling tired yet choose to strengthen others. The Bible makes it clear that he who waters others will be watered himself. There is strength in serving but there is no strength in self-pity.

5. Subdue The Enemy - We don't fight thoughts with thoughts; we fight thoughts with words. With demonic stress, you have to open your mouth and tell the devil to stop and get out of your way. Realize your oneness with Christ in His whole being i.e. Person, Position, Victory. We are not supposed to run from the devil; we are only supposed to run from sin. We stand and resist the devil and he flees from us.

 If you handle your hard times with care, they will become good times. How do you handle your hard times with care? Strengthen yourself in the Lord your God.

 

God bless you
