Blessings in the Mighty Name of Yeshua Hamashiach!
Psalms 18:30-34 AMP
" As for God, His way is blameless. The word of the Lord is tested [it is perfect, it is faultless]; He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him. [31] For who is God, but the Lord? Or who is a rock, except our God, [32] The God who encircles me with strength And makes my way blameless? [33] He makes my feet like hinds’ feet [able to stand firmly and tread safely on paths of testing and trouble]; He sets me [securely] upon my high places. [34] He trains my hands for war, So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze".
Instead of functioning in Christ's authority, we often fail to discern and confront our enemies. It is this passive stance that hinders us from becoming effective in spiritual warfare. This is the primary reason for weariness in the Church. Some of us, instead of moving towards victory, settle for temporary relief. We ask God to make the devil leave us alone; the Lord, however, is telling us to pursue our enemies and scatter them like dust! We must pray with vision, courage, and confidence; with equal confidence, we must answer the call when Adonai summons us to stand and face our enemy. We do this by taking up the weapon of spiritual authority.
Shalom
