Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered? Isaiah 49:24
Praise the Lord. Dear brothers and sisters in the above verse it was written as “Shall the prey be taken from the mighty “. Asking this question to you. What is your answer?. The answer is Yes. Almighty has given authority for us to take, to rule this world. When our ways are HIS ways then no need to become panic. Let us go through three incidents given in Old testament
1. Abram’s victory Genesis 14:16. And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his a brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people When we gone through the 14th chapter we are able to see the war between the Kings in the Valley of Siddim. The Kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled and the enemies took captives of all the things. They took Lot Abram’ s brother’s son and his belongings. What a difficult situation?. When Abram heard about it He defeated the King and return back all the things taken by them as captives. He regain all the things by 318 members. Returning from the war he got heavenly blessings from Melchizedek. What a wonderful God we have. Lord almighty will fight for us and HE will give victory over the situation and also heavenly blessings.
2. David and Goliath 1 Samuel 17:51. Then David took the Philistine’s head and brought it to Jerusalem, but he put his weapons in his tent. Here in this passage we saw a war between Philistines and Israliets at Valley of Elah. Goliath was a strong man stood on behalf of Philistines and he used words to defame and to erase the belief of Israelites . At last it was the time of David he reached the Valley and heard the words uttered by Goliath. Being a Godly man and anointed one he strengthened himself and fought for Israelites and got the victory
3. David at Ziklag. 1 Samuel 30: 20 David got back everything the Amalekites had taken, and he rescued his two wives. Nothing was missing: small or great, son or daughter, nor anything else that had been taken. David brought everything back. Here the Amalekites destroyed Ziklag and took all the human beings and their belongings as Captives. David was engaged in another war. When David returned he came to know about it and was in distress. He strengthens himself in God’s presence and enquired at the Lord. With the clear guidance from the Lord he defeated the enemy and returned all the belongings stolen by them. He got victory over his enemies.
Brothers and sisters we are serving Powerful God who cares for us in the time of trouble. HE is expecting us to strengthen ourselves before going for the war and to pursue all the things stolen from us. Devil has stolen our worship time, bible reading time, meditation time and he gave fear and unfaithfulness.
Beware! . Never give up. What we have to do is strengthen ourselves in God’s presence and get a word from Him and go for Battle. So many times we are defeated because we are not spending time in HIS presence for the particular situation.
Prayer
Heavenly Father we come before you and asking you to forgive our thoughts, that I cannot do everything. From the above passage I could understand everything is Possible if God is on my side. Fill us with new anointing this day to strengthen us and to overcome the situation we come across. In the name of Lord Jesus Christ I rebuke all the negative thoughts and false belief. Claiming victory over my situation through Jesus and accepting the things He has done for me. In Jesus name
Amen.
