Spirit Of This World

Today, we gathered in a spirit of worship and reverence, acknowledging the power and presence of God in our lives. We began by affirming that no weapon formed against us shall prosper, and that God is our protector and guide. We prayed for the removal of spiritual darkness and for the revelation of God's heavenly host surrounding us. We declared that Satan has no power over us, and that we are victorious through Christ who lives in us. We discussed the chaotic state of the world, emphasizing that Satan is the prince of the power of the air and the god of this world. This world system operates independently of God and is filled with evil, immorality, and rebellion. We must understand that the enemy has power but no authority; Jesus took all authority from Satan at the cross. Therefore, we worship God because we reverence Him, and this reverence is the foundation of our worship. We also touched on the importance of corporate worship and the power it holds. Worship is a weapon against the enemy, and it is crucial for us to gather and exalt the Lord. We highlighted the significance of Wednesday night worship services, where we come together without any agenda other than to worship God. The sermon also addressed the current events and the spirit of rebellion and indifference to God that exists in the world. We discussed the blasphemy and mockery of Christian symbols and practices, emphasizing that these actions stem from a lack of reverence for God. We are called to be a remnant, a group of believers who are always ready and filled with the Holy Spirit. We concluded by encouraging the congregation to be passionate and enthusiastic about their faith. The kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. This means we must be fervent and zealous in our pursuit of God, not allowing the enemy to deter us from our destiny. We are in a spiritual battle, but the battle belongs to the Lord, and we are assured of victory through Him.
