that: “. . . we speak wisdom among themthat are perfect [mature or full grown]:yet not the wisdom of this world. . . . Butwe speak THE WISDOM OF GOD. . .”(1 Cor. 2:6–7).The wisdom of God is the wisdomof His Word. Your mind will have to berenewed to the wisdom of God—thewisdom of God’s Word—to see whatJesus has already wrought for youin your redemption. That’s what willmake you mature in your knowledge ofbeing in Christ.When believers have the eyes oftheir understanding enlightened, theywill understand exactly how completethe plan of redemption really is. Thosewho are still waging war on the devilhaven’t had the eyes of their understandingenlightened to see the wisdomof God. But when you are mature inthe Word and have the wisdom ofGod—Bible wisdom—you know Satanand his hosts are already conquered,defeated, dethroned, and deprived oftheir power and that you are the triumphantone in Christ.You will have to stand your groundwith the Word of God against Satanbecause his wiles are deceptive, andhe will try to blind your eyes to makeyou think he has power and authorityover you. He will always try to get youout of the realm of faith in God’s WordYou will have to stand your ground with the Word of Godagainst Satan because his wiles are deceptive, and hewill try to blind your eyes to make youthink he has power andauthority over you.by making you doubt the Word, doubtGod, and doubt what God has toldyou. That’s why the fight against himis in the arena of faith—faith in Godand faith in God’s Word—not in tryingto defeat an enemy who is alreadydefeated.One reason many believers arehaving so much trouble with the devilis that they are always trying to dosomething themselves about the devil,instead of acting on what the Wordsays Jesus already did about the devil.That means they aren’t doers of theWord. They say, “Let’s declare war onthe devil!” and they try to carry outsome kind of combat against him.But when you understand thatSatan is dethroned, you know war hasalready been declared on the devil,and the victory has been won by theLord Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ arosethe Victor! So just take your position ofjoint-seating with Christ in his victoryover the devil.If Satan and his cohorts have beendethroned, then why are the hosts ofdarkness ruling over so many believers?Either believers don’t know theirauthority in Christ, or they aren’t exercisingtheir authority in Christ.Satan will keep on ruling people inthe world who aren’t saved, of course,because they don’t know any better.But if believers will preach the Gospelto unsaved folks, those non-believerscan get saved and come out from underSatan’s dominion.The Church is to preach the GoodNews to every person and tell themthat they don’t have to be dominatedby the devil anymore. That’s how weare to “wage war” on the devil. Whenpeople get hold of the Good News inChrist and are born again, Satan won’tbe able to rule over them anymore.That is how believers are to put Satan’skingdom to nought and reduce it tonothing.Becoming a part of the family of God has many benefits—you have a heavenly inheritance that you can tap into rightnow.

John Wesley, one of the founders of the MethodistChurch, once said, “It seems God is limited by ourprayer life—that He can do nothing for humanityunless someone asks Him.” It is vital that Christians pray,not just for themselves and their own needs, but also fortheir nation and those in authority.In the United States, 2008 is a presidential election year,and during election years, we are constantly bombardedwith radio and television ads telling us whom we should andshould not vote for. But it is of utmost importance that weseek the wisdom and direction of our Heavenly Father beforevoting for our future national, state, and local leaders so thatwe may lead a quiet and peaceable life (1 Tim. 2:1–2).The Bible tells us in James 5:16 (NLT), “The earnestprayer of a righteous person has great power and produceswonderful results.” With that in mind, pray for our leaders,our nation, our military, and the upcoming elections. Listedon this page are points to focus on during your prayer time.When you pray, believe that you receive the answers to yourprayers (Mark 11:24). And let the following scriptures guideand encourage you as you pray.2 Chronicles 7:14–15 (ASV) If my people, who are calledby my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seekmy face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hearfrom heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal theirland. Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent,unto the prayer that is made in this place.1 Timothy 2:1–2 (Amplified) First of all, then, Iadmonish and urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions,and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of all men, For kingsand all who are in positions of authority or high responsibility,that [outwardly] we may pass a quiet and undisturbedlife [and inwardly] a peaceable one in all godliness and erence and seriousness in everyrevway.PrayerPrayerPoints✓ The President✓❑✓❑✓❑ The President❑ Congress❑ ✓❑ The U.S. Supreme Court❑ ✓❑ State & Local Authorities❑ ✓❑ The Military❑✓❑ Intelligence Agencies❑✓❑ Presidential Primaries &✓✓✓✓✓✓✓ Intelligence Agencies✓ Presidential Primaries &Intelligence AgenciesConventions✓ The Upcoming 2008❑ ✓❑✓❑ The Upcoming 2008Presidential ElectionStirred Up to PrayYou can change your nation and your world with theprinciples of prayer outlined in Stirred Up to Pray, a 4-CDseries by Lynette Hagin.
