The spiritual war isn’t a fight that you have to win because it’s a battle that has already been won. God said that He would give every place where Joshua set his feet. This means that you are going into battle to plant the banner of victory. Your job is to plant the banner of Christ. Then, how must you do that?

1. The Message of the Resurrection The resurrected Jesus already promised that He would always be with you to the end of the age with all the authority of Heaven and earth(Matthew 28:18~20). He also promised that He would work through the blessings of the throne wherever you go(Mark 16:15~20). If you believe in this promise and receive the filling of the Holy Spirit while waiting for the works of God’s Kingdom, you’ll become a witness to the end of the earth(Acts 1:8).

2. An Ambassador(1 Peter 2:9) Children of God are “a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession.” You have been called so “that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.” You who are an ambassador of Christ and possess the authority of a prophet, priest, and king.
Children of God go into the field to plant the banner of authority that saves others and breaks darkness. If you hold onto the covenant and pray, the works of answers taking place will arise.

[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, may I plant the banner of victory in the battle that Christ has completely won. Please bind the darkness and help me to stand as a witness who establishes Your Kingdom. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

[Deep Questions] Q. What Is Limited Concentration?
Don’t try to do too much. Instead, you must place a limit on your concentration. However, there are many people who can’t do this well. In addition, they have no idea what this means.
This means that if you’re sick, you mustn’t do anything else. You must first gain strength. This is called “limited concentration.”
If a crisis emerges, it is an opportunity. This is a sign to pray. There’s no need to have useless thoughts. If you receive just one answer, you’ll be able to see something else. In the case of Godʼs children, if they receive even one answer, then everything else will follow.
