Collaboration by: Holy Spirit + Wei Wei Chan
"Finally, my brethren,"
"Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil."
(Ephesian 6:10-11)

You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
(1 John 4:4)
...and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
(Philippians 3:9-11)
There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
(Romans 8:1)
Artist's Notes:
Testimony of "The Rising Warrior":
I first want to give HUGE thanks to Abba God Almighty for sparking this inspiration that became something I was not expecting to create. This was birthed through a personal trial/battle back in November 2019. As I was facing my emotions that felt like mocking Goliath, the spirit inside me felt the attitude that David had in
1 Samuel 17:26.
“....For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?”
A boil of resistance stirred inside me against the torment of lies that was shooting at me. For deep down I knew the truth of God's word, but I couldn't shake the emotions. So I decided to take a stand using my artistic ways of prayer with the Lord, I began to confront the giant by illustrating David and Goliath scene. "Is this giant truly big?"
I thought, as I began to illustrate it's mockery. Amazingly, as I was illustrating it all, the Lord truly came and ministered to me.
"No way! God is so much bigger! He is the MIGHTIEST!" And with that, the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead, is the same Spirit that I have, and it rose within me as the power force of God began to push back the darkness and lies.
And in that moment, all darkness and lies got annihilated by the Light and truth within.
Soon the Lord began to inspire me with new revelations
in how the enemy lies and how to counter-attack that. He taught me the subtle and sneaky lies that settle in as it attempts to build up within our soul and becoming what feels like "a giant".
Truth truly sets us free, and I praise God!
Truth truly sets us free, and I praise God!
I praise Jesus for setting us free and giving us the ultimate victory!
Encouragement:
As the Lord has given to me the amazing victory of this battle, my heart is to share this comic to encourage and help my fellow brethren, my Kingdom family along your journey and your walk with the Lord, and shed light on few tactics of the enemy.
Though, part 1 is a much more simplified form of battle, the reality of it is that it usually takes much more resistance against the negative thoughts and lies and going after God's word and truth.
Once we detect the lie that the enemy has attempted to plant in us, whether that be fear, condemnation, shame, guilt, depression, hopelessness (defeat), devalued, worried, stress, etc., it is God's word that helps us slice through the lies of the enemy as we continue to declare these truths and meditate these truths over our lives and stand strong in the Truth
And ultimately, no matter what situation or emotions come your way,
remember whose got your back. :D
remember whose got your back. :D
The GOD who is within you is GREATER than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4)
And as followers of Christ, Christ lives within us and we truly belong to Him. This means the same victorious Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives within us!
HALLELUJAH!
Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. To Him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
(1 Peter 5:8-11)For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
(1 John 5:4-5)
