12/11/09 How Victories and Blessings are Lost.

How Victories and Blessings are Lost.
When Satan knows we are about to Win a Victory, he either
Accelerates the Attack (to overwhelm faith) or
Alters the Angle of Attack (to confuse faith).
When Satan knows God is about to Deliver a Blessing, he
Chokes the Channel (demonic resistance).
Fighting the Fight of Faith is the answer (1 Tm 6:12; 2 Tm 4:7).

VERSES...
1 Timothy 6:12
12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

2 Timothy 4:7
7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:

After the Mountain Top there is often a Valley. The Valley is not necessarily the problem, it is what happens in the Valley. Satan lies in wait, lurking in the Shadows, ready to Rob and Kill.

It is hard to defeat someone when they are at the top of their performance. That is why Satan has so many weapons in his arsenal.

While there are numerous verses that address this point, let me just share this passage...

1 Corinthians 10:12-13
12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he stand take heed lest he fall.
13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
