The kind when we get on our knees, we confess our total bankruptcy in the situation, we surrender all our schemes, we allow a total Holy Spirit takeover, we invoke the cross and the blood of Christ against our enemy. When you do that, Satan crumbles to his knees. He's rendered powerless by the spiritual kryptonite of fervent prayer. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/how-good-soldiers-go-down-6192 2010-10-05T09:13:14-05:00 Putting on your armor means consciously choosing the spiritual resources of Jesus as the ways you will respond to every attack. Don't concentrate on the attack that's coming your way. Concentrate instead on the things that make you strong - the full armor of God that makes Satan retreat! http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians%206:10-18&version=NIV 2009-10-02T11:21:29-05:00 This passage describes the "armor of God"--the set of spiritual disciplines that, when equipped and practiced daily, protect us from spiritual harm and make us effective servants of Christ. These practices on their own might be useful, but they become a truly powerful "suit of armor" when they're wielded together. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Hindrances/The-Hand-in-the-Puppet-3852 2008-07-30T16:13:19-05:00 This was a very perceptive group of young people. They were somehow able to figure out that the blows were not really coming from the puppet - they were coming from the hand in the puppet. A conclusion that is not quite so obvious when the hand inside the puppet that's hitting you is actually your spiritual enemy - Satan. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Life-That-Matters/Radio-Program/The-Trouble-With-Ironman-8002 2008-07-21T10:33:27-05:00 Inside are battles we’ve not been able to win, with dark passions or maybe a temper that’s hurting people we love, depression or selfishness, addictions; things that ambush a life that matters.
