Part-4: Rules of Engagement (Key Points) | Ashish Raichur
Channel: All Peoples Church Bangalore
Date: 2021-06-28

How do we bring the spiritual to bear upon the natural in everyday life
situations? How do we engage the spiritual realm, as believers, as spiritual
beings, to bear upon the natural? We discuss four main Rules of Engagement.
#1, The Cross of Jesus Christ - Always engage the natural world based on the
Cross. The message of the Cross is the power of God and the Wisdom of God.
Sin has been dealt with once and for all. Reject feelings of guilt, shame,
unworthiness, inferiority, etc. The Cross tells me that I am worth
everything to God. Sickness and disease was dealt with on the Cross.
Wholeness (shalom) was provided for us on the Cross. Sinful addictions and
bondages were broken on the Cross. Satan was defeated on the Cross. We are
enforcing the victory of the Cross in people's lives. The Cross established
us in blood covenant with God. We are in a blood covenant with God. We are
receiving what God has made available for us through the finished work of
Christ on the Cross.
#2, Submission to God - Walk in submission to the Father of spirits. A place
of yielding, consecration and dedication to God. God created us a beings
with a free-will. We willingly come into submission to God. Authority and
power flows through submission and consecration. God's kingdom is extended
through our submission. We obey the Word of God. We walk in obedience to His
Word. We live a life of holiness and purity. We express our consecration and
dedication to God in different ways. Praying, fasting, worship, giving, etc.
When we desire to change in the natural, we must first come into submission
to God.
#3, Faith in God - Jesus emphasized the importance of having faith in God.
We must learn to walk by faith in God. Take the shield of faith. Whoever is
born of God overcomes the world through faith. What can I do with my faith
in God, in this situation? How can I walk by faith in this situation? The
natural man says: seeing is believing. The spiritual man says: believing is
seeing. We believe and therefore will see.
#4, Words We Speak - God spoke the worlds into existence. Death and life are
in the power of the tongue. Our words engage the spiritual with the natural.
Dominion and authority are exercised through words. Your words are like a
connector of the spiritual into the natural.
