I have read that the eagle does not fight the snake on the ground. Instead, it picks it up into the sky and changes the battle ground and then it releases the snake while in the sky. When the snake is left in the air it loses its power, stamina, and balance. In midair it becomes weak, useless, and vulnerable. Unlike on the ground where it is powerful, wise, and deadly.
Likewise, the enemy has no power and is useless if you take your fight into the spiritual realm by praying the word of God. When you do so, God takes over your battles and begins to fight for you. Don’t fight the enemy in his comfort zone. Change your battle ground like the eagle and allow God to take charge through your earnest prayer and worship. The enemy loves to make you a playground. Show him your new game by fervently praying the word of God’s promises.
Pray this prayer. “Father, your word is forever true. And your promise of blessings and multiplication that you have given me throughout the ages (Genesis 22:17, Hebrews 6:14) is forever mine, in Jesus’ name. You have promised to bless me exceedingly and it is your heart’s desire to enlarge my coast. Every satanic covenant that is going against your continual and uninterrupted blessing, I command the power of God to consume them, in Jesus’ name. I pray against every spirit of lack and wretchedness. Oh Lord, let your peace, joy, happiness, and comfort saturate me now, in Jesus’ name.”
The anointing of the Lord through His word and the blood of Jesus is going to shatter every demonic power that tries to keep you from the place God has planned for you. The battle you are facing is preparing you for the blessing that’s coming. Keep fighting and don’t give up. I know it feels like sometimes you are breaking, but God is building you up for greater days ahead! These trials are not meant to break you, but to refine and strengthen you for the path that God has set before you. Trust in His purpose and lean on His grace. Stay on the battlefield for the Lord. Victory is coming. You are a winner every time.
Your prayer, praise, and worship will be the game changer that will bring sweet victory. Stand fast in your profession every day.
Amen! So be it!
