Satan is nothing but a finished devil; he is a mere master deceiver!

The Nature of Wickedness

• The world lies in deep wickedness, orchestrated by Satan—the master of evil.
• Wickedness has increased globally because Satan knows his time is short (Rev. 12:12).
• Satan is not omnipresent or omnipotent—he works through deception, fear, and manipulation.
• Many mistakenly fear Satan’s power because they do not understand their authority in Christ.
• The only scripturally acknowledged enemy is Satan—not humans, witches, or circumstances.
• When you misidentify your enemy, you empower Satan to oppress you unchecked.
• God has designed believers to live victoriously over all acts of wickedness.
• Understanding Satan’s tactics and God’s power in you is the key to dominion.

A drum full of tears cannot move a molehill. What you need is the knowledge of how to subdue the enemy’s incursions.

Your Path to Victory

• Victory begins with knowledge—strength comes from understanding God’s Word.
• Many Christians faint in adversity because they lack spiritual strength rooted in revelation.
• Soldiers train before battle; likewise, you must be prepared ahead with the Word.
• God promises to be with us in the fire and floods, indicating adversity will come, but victory is certain for the prepared.
• Tears do not move God; faith-filled declarations based on the Word do.
• Jesus has already defeated Satan through His death, resurrection, and triumph in hell.
• Christ’s victory at Calvary was total—He spoiled principalities and powers and handed over that victory to us.
• As a believer, you’re seated in heavenly places, far above the devil’s domain, and must live in this consciousness.

You must carry this consciousness about—that you are indeed a god in the form of a man.

 Know Who You Are!

• To walk in victory, you must understand your identity in Christ and your redemptive rights.
• As a born-again believer, you are a new creation—completely transformed and brought into God’s family.
• You have been translated from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of God’s dear Son.
• Believers are peculiar people—special, different, chosen to manifest God’s glory.
• You are from above and therefore above all powers of darkness and life’s limitations.
• Victory is your nature now because you are born of God; defeat is no longer your portion.
• You are not just a child of God—you are a god on the earth, empowered to dominate situations.
• Carrying this divine consciousness helps you enforce your authority and silence Satan.
  

Only the power strong enough to break the covenant of day and night can break God’s covenant of protection with you.

Your Covenant Covering

• God’s covenant of protection is available to every believer and is superior to any form of satanic oppression.
• The covenant is unbreakable and functions like the cycle of day and night—it cannot fail (Jer. 33:20–21).
• When you’re in covenant with God, your exemption from the wickedness of the world is guaranteed.
• Obedience and righteousness are the believer’s responsibilities in maintaining covenant alignment.
• Being born again brings you under this divine covering, but active engagement in obedience to the demands of God’s promises or covenant is what secures your protection.
• Every provision in Scripture that promises protection is part of your covenant rights.
• You’re not meant to fight for yourself; the covenant places you under God’s defense system.
• The covenant ensures that no matter the intensity of evil in the world, you are safe and preserved.

Satan has no real power; all he does is deceive you into disarming yourself.

Watch Out For Satan’s Tricks

• Satan’s primary weapon is deception—not power. He tricks believers into giving up their authority.
• Ignorance of the Word is one of the devil’s major tools to keep people bound and defeated.
  He manipulates situations to create fear, doubt, guilt, and condemnation, weakening the believer’s confidence in God.
• The devil uses subtle lies, half-truths, and religious traditions to derail spiritual understanding.
• Emotional instability and offense are common entry points the enemy uses to plant seeds of destruction.
• Satan thrives where there is a lack of revelation—light always exposes and expels his works.
• Believers must be spiritually alert and rooted in truth to discern and resist the devil’s strategies.
• Victory begins with unmasking his devices and standing firmly on the truth of God’s Word.

Every storm has an end, but your faith determines how long it stays.

Combating the Storms of Life

• Life is full of storms—unexpected trials, satanic attacks, and intense opposition—but believers are not helpless.
• Jesus never promised a storm-free life, but He guaranteed victory through faith and spiritual engagement.
• The storms of life are not signs of abandonment; they are often the battlegrounds where faith is proven.
• God has provided believers with spiritual tools to overcome any storm: prayer, the Word, covenant mentality, and the Holy Spirit.
• Fear magnifies the storm; however, faith silences it. A heart rooted in God’s promises remains unshaken.
• Many lose battles because they panic or give in to pressure, forgetting their covenant rights.
• The force of praise, scriptural declarations, and prophetic insight can turn storms into testimonies.
• You must note that every storm has an expiry date. What matters is your posture in the midst of it.

No prophecy fulfills itself. You must rise and engage it with faith and action.

Engaging the Force of Prophecy

• Prophecy is a powerful spiritual force for enforcing God’s plan and defeating the devil’s agenda.
• Every genuine prophecy reveals God’s intention and opens a window for manifestation when properly engaged.
• Prophecies don’t fulfill themselves automatically—they must be believed, received, and warred with.
• God confirms the word of His servants; when spoken in faith, prophetic utterances release divine authority.
• Prophetic words are weapons—they stir faith, destroy fear, and expose satanic resistance.
• Doubting prophecy shuts down its power, but faith turns it into a living force.
• Prophetic declarations must align with Scripture; God only backs what He has said or sent.
• You can also declare prophetic words over your own life when inspired by the Spirit and rooted in truth.

When you are genuinely planted in the house of God, no destroyer can break in on you.

The Force of the City of Refuge

• The City of Refuge is a spiritual symbol representing divine safety and preservation for the believer.
• In Scripture, it was a place where individuals under threat could run to for protection from avengers.
• Today, the local church and God’s presence represent our City of Refuge—where the enemy cannot reach us.
• Belonging to a spiritual family and staying under prophetic covering are vital for divine defense.
• When you are planted in your God-ordained church, you come under a covenant canopy of preservation.
• Many believers fall victim to spiritual attacks because they live disconnected from their spiritual shelter.
• The force of the City of Refuge silences threats, breaks curses, and secures generational preservation.
• Your safety is not in physical strength but in being rightly positioned in God’s refuge system.

Murmuring stops angels; faith and obedience keep them active.

The Ministry of Angels

• Angels are ministering spirits sent by God to serve and defend those who are heirs of salvation (Hebrews 1:14).
• They play a key role in spiritual warfare, protection, deliverance, and provision.
• The ministry of angels is activated through faith, obedience, and the spoken Word.
• Many believers neglect or are unaware of this powerful resource available to them.
• Angels respond to God’s instructions and move at the sound of His Word, especially when spoken by believers.
• When you murmur, doubt, or walk in disobedience, you deactivate angelic operations unknowingly.
• You must be spiritually conscious of the angelic presence and partner with them through a lifestyle of holiness and divine alignment.

The yoke-destroying power of God flows through the mystery of the anointing oil.

The Anointing Oil Weapon

• The anointing oil is a divine mystery and spiritual weapon instituted by God for deliverance, healing, and empowerment.
• It carries the power of the Holy Spirit and transmits supernatural virtue when applied in faith.
• In Mark 6:13 and James 5:14, the early Church used oil to heal the sick and cast out devils.
• The anointing destroys yokes—whether spiritual, physical, emotional, or generational (Isaiah 10:27).
• It is not a religious ritual but a covenant weapon that requires revelation and faith to work.
• When blessed and applied correctly, the oil sanctifies your home, preserves your body, and enforces divine protection.
• God’s power flows through the medium of the oil to establish His will in the believer’s life.
• The anointing oil is not a substitute for a relationship with God but a channel for enforcing His promises.

The blood of Jesus is God’s last card—the devil cannot cross it.

Overcoming by the Blood of Jesus

• The blood of Jesus is a covenant weapon of victory, redemption, and deliverance for every believer.
• Revelation 12:11 declares that we overcome the devil “by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony.”
• The blood speaks—just as Abel’s blood cried out, Jesus’ blood speaks mercy, protection, and vengeance over our enemies.
• It is the seal of our eternal covenant and a mark of exemption from destruction.
• When pleaded in faith, the blood of Jesus neutralizes satanic attacks and silences accusations of the enemy.
• The blood protects your territory—home, family, health, and destiny—from demonic intrusion.
• It is to be engaged through prayer, declarations, communion, and spiritual warfare.
• The blood doesn’t just redeem; it enforces judgment against all satanic resistance.

Every winning instrument is for your use—God won’t use them for you.

Other Instruments For Spiritual Warfare

• God has made available various spiritual instruments that guarantee victory in the battles of life.
• These include: the force of joy, the weapon of praise, the power of testimony, the ministry of the Holy Ghost, and the fire of the Word.
• Joy is a spiritual force that empowers you to draw strength and frustrate the enemy’s strategies.
• Praise invokes divine presence, which automatically silences the enemy and brings deliverance.
• Testimonies reproduce after their kind—what God has done before, He will do again when you declare it in faith.
• The Holy Ghost is your spiritual advantage—He reveals, empowers, and gives you insight into battle.
• The Word is a fire and a hammer (Jer. 23:29)—capable of breaking satanic resistance.
• These instruments must be used intentionally and consistently to secure continuous victory.

Until you say ‘enough is enough,’ the devil keeps stealing ground.

It’s Time to Walk Out on the Devil!

• You have the power to walk out of satanic oppression, bondage, or limitation, because of your covenant position in Christ.
• The devil thrives on ignorance; once you discover your authority, his grip is broken.
• You don’t need permission from the devil to be free—your liberty is a settled reality in Christ.
• Until you accept responsibility for enforcing your freedom, the enemy may continue to harass you unlawfully.
• Your spiritual posture—boldness, faith, knowledge, and righteous living—determines your walking in victory.
• You must reject every lie of the devil and stand on God’s Word as the final authority.
• Victory requires decision, determination, and engagement of the spiritual forces God has provided.
• Walking out on the devil is not emotional—it is intentional, covenant-based, and Word-activated.

The truth is, you were never meant to be a victim in life. Through the revelation in Winning Invisible Battles, you are reminded that Satan has been defeated and stripped of his power. By understanding your identity, applying the Word, engaging the blood of Jesus, and activating angelic assistance, you can live a life of continual victory. Your dominion is not a theory—it’s your covenant right. Rise up, take your place, and win every invisible battle that comes your way.
