Don't Wait for the Attack

Psalm 18:37
I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.


Isn't it interesting that it says "I have pursued mine enemies"? (emphasis mine) We are not to put on our battle gear and wait for our enemies to come to us. We are to chase after them, overtake them, and not stop until they are consumed.


Do not assume the job is done when you chased the enemy. Do not assume the job is done even after you overtake them. The job is only done when the enemy has been consumed to the point that they cannot rise against you ever again.


I am speaking of the spiritual battle that rages around us all of the time. Do you think that simply because we cannot see the spiritual battle that is isn't really there? That it won't affect us? Doesn't one single rotting orange among many affect the others around it? The longer you allow this molding and rotting fruit to lay with the others the more fruit around it also begins to decay.


Do not believe you cannot accomplish this. For our victory has already risen with our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus. STAND IN HIM. Christ Jesus has already won the war for us. If He is in you, hesitate no longer in boldly reminding the enemy who you belong to!


You really don't have to let the devil bully you. Resist him and he WILL FLEE from you!


James 4:7
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
