There is no free zone anymore in this world for anyone to hide from the evil prying eyes of the devil, from the wicked destructive thoughts of men, from shameful words, weapons and actions of corrupt minds, and from the dehumanizing ideas from the pit of hell under the control of the devil. Believers are not spared from this wicked and evil onslaught against humanity and even our churches are not exempt from seeing, experiencing and following along with the attacks.
There are many things that offends the mind every day everywhere, things that seeks to corrupt good and godly morals, things that seeks to take the innocents captive and destroy the knowledge of the learned. There is no place that you will not find something that is disgusting and offensive to the soul and to the good ways of God as stated in the scriptures, there is no place that one can be free from temptation not even in the church, there is no place that is absent from the radar of this evil destroyer.
Despite what you are, the profession you are engaged in, who you are, the office you occupy and where you are located under the sun, there will always be something there to offend you. You will always find things, people, places and situations that will not go well with your kind of life as you want, but what you do when this enemies comes matters so much to what will happen thereafter. God is ready to give you the victory when you give Him the leadership in such a situation. What to do when the enemy comes?
Do not be surprise, there is no free zone on earth but you can stand against anything that wants to infringe on your zone of freedom in Christ Jesus and absolutely obtain the victory. The enemy is never expected and never welcomed; they are wicked intruder to your domain of physical and spiritual freedom. This unwelcome enemy had left many devastated and destroyed financially and morally, it had left many confused, wretched and completely incapacitated in various ways. It comes in many ways with various symptoms and magnitude to people in every location and profession. It does not respect national boundaries, does not respect educational class, social status and profession. It remains unfriendly in its activities and is very dangerous. When the enemy comes, what do you do or what should you do?
When the enemy comes through the usual or unusual ways, when it comes through its familiar vessel or the unfamiliar ones, when it broke loose on you, what should you do? I am so glad that our Father in heaven did not leave us without an effective method of dealing with this enemy irrespective of our location, profession, color and language. This is what He said; “When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.” Isaiah 59:19 b
God said His spirit which you will deliberately allow to dwell inside of you and be willing to obey all the instructions that you will receive from Him, will definitely stand up and lift up a standard within you that will be able to overcome the destructive tendencies of such enemies.
God did not say your strong passion, your excellent wisdom, your good knowledge, your wealth, the position you have, the office you occupy, your beloved spouse, your humble children, your good neighbors, the current government, your associates, friends and colleagues, your church, your pastor, the spiritual songs you sing, the daily bible reading and studies, or your employer will stand up against this enemy; all the items mentioned above are essential but God said, it is the Spirit of the Lord that will do it perfectly.
Ask God today for that overcoming Spirit to dwell in your live every day and every time. He will abundantly answer you. Click here to submit prayer request.
