Standing in Authority: Overcoming the Enemy’s Attacks

"When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him." — Isaiah 59:19

We’re DONE letting the enemy mess with us. No more fear, no more doubt, no more playing small. Life throws storms our way, but guess what? We’re BUILT to withstand them. The enemy tries to shake us, distract us, and break us—but he’s already lost. We have authority, power, and the backing of the Almighty.

Too often, we get caught up feeling like victims to our circumstances. The pressure mounts, the struggle gets real, and we wonder if we’ll make it through. But let’s get one thing straight: we are NOT weak. We were made to win. When the enemy comes rushing in like a flood, thinking he’s got us cornered, God steps in and says, “Not today.”

It’s time to stop accepting defeat. No more sitting in silence while anxiety, fear, and negativity try to take over. We have authority—the kind that shuts down every lie the enemy tries to whisper. The kind that speaks victory in the face of opposition. The kind that breaks chains, destroys strongholds, and sends the enemy running.

So, here’s the move: walk like you know who you are. Stop doubting your strength. Stop letting fear hold you back. Speak life over yourself. Declare that no weapon formed against you will prosper. Hold your head high, knowing you carry divine power that NOTHING can stand against.

The flood might come, but it won’t drown us. The battle might rage, but we won’t be defeated. We are covered, protected, and armed with the authority to walk in victory. The enemy wants us tired and weak—but we say, “Enough is enough.”

This is OUR moment. OUR breakthrough. OUR time to rise. Amen.
