The Enemy Loses When…  By Christina Cannon.

The enemy loses when a life is transformed.

Romans 12:2 ESV

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”

The enemy loses when we praise God in the midst of difficult circumstances over blaming Him for them.

Psalms 34:1 ESV

“I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.”

The enemy loses when we choose joy over gloom.

Nehemiah 8:10 ESV

“Then he said to them, “Go your way. Eat the fat and drink sweet wine and send portions to anyone who has nothing ready, for this day is holy to our Lord. And do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”

The enemy loses when we turn our ears from him and listen to the voice of God!

Romans 8:6

“For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.”

The enemy loses when we choose forgiveness over bitterness and hate.

Ephesians 4:31-32 ESV

“Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted,

forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.”

The enemy loses when we choose trust over doubt and fear.

Proverbs 3:5-6 ESV

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.”

Jeremiah 17:7-8 ESV

“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.”

The enemy loses when we choose to be grateful over being unthankful.

Ephesians 5:20 ESV

“Always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

The enemy loses when hope is preserved in the midst of what seems hopeless.

2 Corinthians 4:18 ESV

“So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”

The enemy loses when we choose to love our enemies over dispersing what is deserved.

Matthew 5:43-48 ESV

“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.”

The enemy loses when ….. fill it in!

Let’s make sure that the enemy loses; make choices to give God glory in every area of our lives!
