THEREFORE, [there is] now no condemnation (no adjudging guilty of wrong) for those who are in Christ Jesus, who live [and] walk not after the dictates of the flesh, but after the dictates of the Spirit.
The enemy demands that our hearts condemn us. If our hearts don't condemn us, then we're dangerous to the kingdom of darkness.
Ever wake up in the morning and feel bombarded with everything that you have done wrong? That's what I'm talking about.
Have you ever felt like you were a fool for believing in a dream or vision? That's what I'm talking about.
And have you ever spent the morning in prayer, worship, fellowship and then by the end of the day wondered if you were even a Christian? That's what I'm talking about. To the enemy, it is essential to him that we condemn ourselves.
If you answered yes to those questions above, then I ask another question:
Have you ever stood and watched the thoughts that come to you from the left, and then from the right, condemning you on one subject, and then trying another topic? I find this quite amazing. This is when the enemy is panicking, and it becomes quite obvious what's going on.
It's like one minute you were just fine and then all of a sudden you get this bombardment of questions. You begin to second guess yourself on so many topics, one right after the other, it's your head spinning. And then, the final blow, one more thought comes to your head… "All this Jesus stuff is making you plum crazy… you need to quit while you're ahead and get your feet bolted back to the ground."
Yes sir, the enemy says you have got to be convinced that you've done something wrong, and you'll never get anything right. This is a strategy the enemy uses on every child of God. We Christians are very dangerous to the kingdom of darkness when we know the truth about who we are in the Lord Jesus Christ.
How dangerous could it be to the kingdom of darkness if we fully knew we were the children of God?
How dangerous could it be to the kingdom of darkness if we acted as more than conquerors?
How dangerous could we be to the kingdom of darkness if we knew that by his stripes we were healed?
Or if we knew that we were wise in Christ, we have the mind of Christ, we have all resources available to us, we are cleansed by the blood, we have free access to our heavenly father, if God is for us who can be against us, that Jesus said he would never for sake us, that we are under the eyes of our heavenly father all the time, that we have a heap of brothers and sisters in the kingdom of God that the Holy Spirit can call on to pray for us at any time, ...
And that we have authority over the enemy and his kingdom of darkness.
Oops, I think that's a clue of why we are so dangerous to the enemy. We are given authority in the name of Jesus Christ over the enemy and over all of the kingdom of darkness.
Learn who you are in Christ.
