GOD IS WITH YOU IN THE BATTLE
I am sure I don't have to remind you that we are in a war. We are in a battle between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of Satan, between light and darkness, truth and deception. Every day we wake up we go out to war against the enemy. Praise God, we don't go on our own. The Lord of hosts is with us to give us the victory.The children of Israel had become servants in the land God had given to them because they gave up warring. After eight years of servitude, they cried out to the Lord, and in His mercy, He gave them a deliverer called Othniel (Caleb's younger brother), a man who loved to face challenges (Judges 1:12-13).
Judges 3:10 says: "And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him (Othniel), and he ... went out to war." The Holy Spirit who lives in you is ready to go to war and defeat the enemy!
When you face a battle in your home or in your life, call upon the Holy Spirit. In His power you will defeat the enemy. In the name of Jesus, you will have the victory. Through the power of the blood of Jesus you will send the enemy running. Don't despise battles. They are for conquering. Every battle you win is another defeat for the enemy of our souls.
1 John 3:8 says: “For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.”
Revelation 6:2 describes Jesus going “forth conquering, and to conquer.” Jesus Christ lives in you to conquer the enemy. And because the conquering Christ lives in your Romans 8:37 reminds you that you are “MORE THAN A CONQUEROR through him that loved us.”
