About the sure defeat of the enemy…
Nehemiah 6:15 So the wall was completed on the twenty-fifth of Elul, in fifty-two days.
16 When all our enemies heard about this, all the surrounding nations were afraid and lost
their self-confidence, because they realized that this work had been done with the help of
our God. (NIV)
There is no power greater than the power of God. We all seek power. We seek power over
our circumstances. We seek power over our trials. We seek power over the burdens of life.
As we seek power, we often seek power in the wrong places. The ultimate power of life is
in Christ Jesus. Every foe and every enemy of your life should be met with His power. For
every foe you must battle and for every enemy you must confront, call upon God the Father,
Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit who lives within you. When the power of darkness
comes against you, call upon God. When there is illness, sickness, death, disease,
threats, fears, doubts, and insecurities, call upon God. When you call upon God by casting
your cares, worries, fears, and all of your life upon Christ…then enemies are
defeated, and foes are truly vanquished. Yes, you may have to carry other burdens, but
when you carry these other burdens then the glory of God will fill you. When the enemy
begins to advance toward you, then trust in God to help you. It is not an easy thing to
trust in God. It is not easy to trust in God because the enemy wants you to trust only in
yourself. However, no matter how much the enemy wants you to turn selfish, ask the Lord to
help you and He will bring you victory.
