07/06/2023 – “… The enemy has no power unless you let him… Live victoriously. You can if you follow God. You can’t be stopped because He that’s within you is far greater than he that’s in the world.” / The “Oh Yeah” Principle – Acts 4: 13-20

Calling His Bluff

Thursday, July 6, 2023

In Acts 4, the Sanhedrin commanded the apostles to stop preaching. But the Sanhedrin didn’t have the power politically or spiritually to stop them. If the apostles had listened to them or believed that they had the power, they would have, in effect, given them their power by their agreement. Instead they said, “We can’t stop speaking about what we’ve seen and heard,” which resulted in the spreading of the gospel of Messiah. The enemy tries to stop you with the same strategy. He says, “You can’t do God’s will; you can’t open your mouth and share; you can’t overcome; you can’t defeat that sin; you can’t live victoriously. But it’s all a bluff. If you believe the lies, you won’t live free, you’ll stay in bondage. The enemy has no power unless you let him. Be like the disciples, tell the enemy “I’m obeying God! You’re a liar, and all the more I’m going to follow God.” Fight the bluff. Live victoriously. You can if you follow God. You can’t be stopped, because He that’s within you is far greater than he that’s in the world.

From Message #478 – The “Oh Yeah” Principle 
Scripture: Acts 4:13-20
