when God fights For You.

When God Fights For You

I Kings 13:4-6 NKJV

[4] So it came to pass when King Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, who cried out against the altar in Bethel, that he stretched out his hand from the altar, saying, “Arrest him!” Then his hand, which he stretched out toward him, withered, so that he could not pull it back to himself. [5] The altar also was split apart, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of the Lord. [6] Then the king answered and said to the man of God, “Please entreat the favor of the Lord your God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored to me.” So the man of God entreated the Lord, and the king’s hand was restored to him, and became as before. 

One of the devil's strongest weapon is fear. The other is ignorance.  Fear is an intense paralysing emotion responding to threats, pain  or harm. If the devil can make you afraid, it will create what is spoken. The words spoken by Jeroboam was to have sent shivers to the Man of God, destabilize him and declare him personal non-grata. That's when God took over. Moses told the people of Israel when they were near the Red Sea, " The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.”

Exo.14.14. There are two parts to that verse. One is that " the Lord will fight for you". God fought for the Man Of God. He still does.  Check out Deut. 3:22;  Isa.42:13; Psa.44:3. The other is that you will hold your peace. Now that's moyt easy if you're as active as I am.The CEV says, " you wont have to do a thing". Really? GNB says that " all you have to do is to keep still". Did you feel like asking: keep still? In essence, don't panic. Believe in God. This is God's standard practice. Check out, Prov. 20:22 and Rom.12:19. God fought for the Man Of God. The tables turned. I may not understand what you are experiencing. God does. He has decided to step into your condition today and give you victory. Hold your peace and see the victory of the Lord. All you need to do is allow God! Good morning.
