One of the biggest things that a child of God has to learn
is spiritual warfare. I remember when I was pretty new at
intercession prayer and prayer ministry, I would rejoice at
what the Lord did for the person we were praying for only to
get home and the enemy would beat me up (spiritually).
This happened until an older saint - a prayer warrior, asked me,
"Did you bind retaliation, defilement and assignments"? I said,
"I have never heard about that". Once I started doing that,
the attacks of the enemy were less frequent and less
violent! God bless.
The Battle is the Lord’s
How many times, brethren
have you battled with the enemy of your soul,
and hung on to people and precious possessions of which
you just wouldn’t let go?
And after those battles are over, the ole devil would take some
more tremendous blows at you,
a few spiritual black eyes and several bloody noses did occur
only to name a few.
Why you have done your best at boxing with him
and you have tried even to keep the rules,
only to find out that he doesn’t play fair
and besides, he is very, very cruel.
You have this bout and that one
and have lost a mate, money and fame,
and then slanderous stories are spread around about you
causing you to lose the integrity and confidence of your name.
But, have you read God’s Word of how Israel accomplished
the greatest of their battles,
David defeating one of Israel’s worst enemies, the Philistine army
without his nerves even getting too rattled.
Remember this, my brethren,
as you’d do well to never forget,
the battle is the Lord’s, child of God
as He is the only One Who the enemy can never outwit!
