So shall I have an answer for him who reproaches me, For I trust in Your word.   Psalm 119:42

The Lord´s mercy is His favor regarding the person who sinned and who currently is away from His presence. On their own, they know that they will never be able to please God to the point of Him working His will in their life. But, since His favor was extended to them, the person can confess their error and ask for forgiveness. So, if this is your case, take advantage of this, for the Father is working in your favor. 

Each Word that God revives in you is a favor, a mercy, a new path, that inside the Way (the Lord Jesus), will give you the conditions to solve your problems. Despising divine favor is like signing a surrender document to the devil and your own sentence. The order of the Lord is that the righteous person shall live by faith, and if they draw back, God´s soul will have no more pleasure in him (Hebrews 10:38).  

Behind every temptation there is a demon sent by Satan to oppress you. Any abnormality is a sign of demonic operation at work. It is necessary to take hold of divine favor in order to have the conditions to rebuke the enemy, or else your words will be no more than empty sounds that will not bother the agent from Hell. Your Word had to be Yes, yes; no, no (Matthew 5:37). 

The one sent by the devil comes to mock the servant of the Most High and tell them that the Lord does not love them; therefore, He will not deliver them from evil. If you don’t do anything against him, then in the kingdom of darkness you are known as an open door for more evil spirits to come in and invest against your life with more woes. The biblical order is for us to submit to God and resist the devil until he flees from us (James 4:7). He who does not obey the Lord will not be answered by Him. 

Remember that the Father also sends you salvation, the work Jesus did once and for all for the benefit of mankind. Once you are revealed something in the Word, God´s part is finished, and you must begin your part. To start off, to those who never used their faith, this can seem to be a little bit hard or complicated; however, if you persevere in doing good, you will discover that it is easy to meet with the order of the Most High. 

Once you receive direction about how the mercies work as well as salvation, you will be sufficiently armed to rebuke whoever affronts you. So then, do not fear. Invest against the evil one with all your courage, demanding him and it´s ailments to leave your life. There is no way the enemy can win the battle against the children of God, as long as they are using the biblical weapons. 

In the spiritual life, we do not have to keep asking the Lord all the time to heal us and deliver us from problems, but, with boldness, we must demand the one who affronts us to cease his evil work, taking all that belongs to him and leave to never come back again. Never has there been a person who trusted God and came out defeated. You will not be the first one!

In Christ, with love,
