CHALLENGING THE ENEMY
I challenged the enemy's
territory according to Your
conviction, Holy Spirit, and I
don't know yet the outcome of
that step.  I do know that the
enemy came in like a flood, and
for a time overwhelmed me with
fear and dread.  But You, Holy
Spirit, raised up a standard
against him.  You reminded me
of Your loving faithfulness and
power.  You spoke comfort and
peace to my heart.  You are
faithful to Your word, and I thank
You.
      The devil, your enemy, may know some things that give him enough ability to think he

can attack you, and he will try.  But you are always safe in My care.  I hold you in the palm of

My hand; you and those you pray for are never out of My sight and reach.  Do not allow him

to make you afraid with his threats.  He is a defeated foe, a barking dog kept on a leash that

I hold.  Do not think you can casually play near the borders of his territory, for he is fierce

and eager to kill.  But My child needs only to hold My hand and walk with Me to be perfectly

safe even when he it trying to attack.  Your emotions may feel the nearness of the threat, but

you must rest in and trust in My word which promises that I am the good shepherd Who

watches over and keeps His own.

       As I give you discernment and you recognize the schemes of the evil one, I will call on

you to stand against him to keep what he would steal and even reclaim what has been lost to

him.  I will guide you in this and you must listen to My voice.  Know for certain that when you

obey Me, you have full authority over powers of darkness because of My blood and My

name.  There is nothing that is beyond My reach and power.  Walk where I lead you and

shine My light into darkness.  Do not fear reprisal or consequences when you are obeying

Me, for I already know the outcome, and I am working for My purposes and kingdom.

      Stay close to My side and depend on My protection.  I will never leave you or forsake

you.  Take up the weapons of your warfare and clothe yourself with Me.  Always renew your

mind in the truth, for the unrenewed  mind is vulnerable to lies and attacks.  Love Me and

praise Me with all your heart and strength, for I inhabit your praises and make Myself known.

Be humble, but not fearful.  Be strong, but not arrogant.  Let Me live through you, and I will

overcome.
