“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.”
However strong our faith might be we know that there are times when our minds and thoughts can be dominated by demonic influence.
No one is perfect.
For non Christians their radar detects hypocrisy and they are further off put if we profess we know God but our lives do not portray that.
The enemy actively torments minds attempting to separate us and keep us away from stepping into belief in God but comparatively he is weak and desperate.
Our denial and commitment to Jesus ousts and overthrows his attempts to rob us of what God has laid down for us.
Right now God is opening up His armoury and releasing weapons of warfare for our survival.
Our key is to be aware.
We have become war weary especially over the last couple of years. Daniel prophesied this would happen.
“He shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and shall think to change the times and the law; and they shall be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time.”
Feeling knocked back on our heels happens when we are warred against when we are not aware of it.
Being aware makes us change our stance and become more equipped for battle.
We only have to establish a victory already won.
The weapons the enemy forges can be turned around for good in God’s kingdom.
Where Satan creates a cross for torture and death Jesus turns it into a symbol of hope and life.
When David slayed Goliath with a stone but then took Goliath’s own sword to sever his head from his body.
What the enemy has we turn around for defeat.
“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.”
God is opening portals for military provision in prayer.
Prayer riding on revelation unveils and uncovers more understanding and strategy.
Each small tweak leads to a greater peak. God’s rations and provisions are key.
Worship evokes our awareness of God’s presence and sense of His Spirit resting upon us as well as residing within.
Bridges are built between dimensions of heaven and earth.
Our need, hunger and desire manifests His presence for us to align with His vision.
We are people of faith. We do not walk by sight but by faith.
“for we walk by faith, not by sight.”
He is our source of strength and we are over-comers.
We have new horizons of unknown adventure.
We can pray for God’s will and timing to be done to stop the enemy making changes.
God is always ahead of time and gives us time to intervene and partner.
He equips and strengthens when we look for God’s story line and mobilise His Kingdom.
When we know His heart we see His hand and plan and can go there in prayer.
“And he said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a while.” For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat.”
The place of rest in Christ is our seat of power.
It is a place of unceasing prayer and communion heart to heart with Him.
We have solitude but yet are not alone. A place of silence where we can listen to Him. A place where we are transformed by Him.
“and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds,”
The illustration shows resting in prayer and presence to turn around evil for good emanating light that pushes back the darkness.
