Equipped for the Fight -- Part I

91:15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I [will be] with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.



 


Did you know that there are times that you must stay in the fight? The word "deliver" in Psalm 91:15 means to equip for the fight. God will equip you for the battle. There are situations in your life in which He is simply not going to move you anywhere; He is not going to lift you up and carry you off anywhere; but He is going to give you the equipment to slug it out right where you are and win. That is why you must get before God to find out how He wants to deliver you in a particular situation. His will is to deliver you. You just need to ascertain from the Spirit how God wants to do it.


Many times we get tired of the people we work with, or tired of the job, or tired of the house we live in. Then we make decisions based on what we feel we should do. It very well may be that God wants you to stand right where you are. He wants to equip you to slug it out and win right there. But He will not leave you to do it alone.


He said clearly that He would be with you in trouble. God will be there with supernatural anointing: the anointing that removes whatever is a burden to you, and destroys whatever is a yoke to you. With that you have the ability to stay there and slug it out until the devil high tails it and runs.
 

A good example of this kind of deliverance is found in Deuteronomy 28. It says your enemies will come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways. Picture it. If your enemies are coming against you, and then fleeing in seven different directions, what are you doing? You are standing ? not running ? but standing. You're not being removed. You are standing. You are so equipped because you have a covenant with God, and you whipped that situation so bad in the Holy Ghost that the enemy is going in every direction trying to get away from you. That is why you need to find out if this is the time to stay and fight. It is not an anti-Christian act to stay and fight. It depends on what the Lord said to do.
 

So, find out in your prayer time before God what His direction is for you whenever you face a difficult situation. You can be confident in God that when He says to stay, that means He will equip you with all you need to win the battle. In God, you are the triumphant church. That means that you win every time.

I always tell my members to remember that the devil is more afraid of us then we are of him. Satan knows that when we have a relationship with the Lord, "greater is he that in in us than he that is in the world."

Thanks my friend for this today.

A very encouraging message.  It's always wonderful to meet someone who you know, knows that Jesus is the Fathers' Anointed...His King.  We do not go where we feel like going, we do not live where we feel like living, we don't associated with people that we feel like associating with...we serve at the sufferance of The King; and know that everything that exists, exists through him and for him.  And not only does he not leave us alone, but He himself is our very life...power made perfect in weakness!   What an awesome adventure and what an awesome God we serve!

The really wonderful thing is that when we let him be Lord and King instead of our own reasonings and feelings, the next thing we know...we are given understanding and our feeling come in line with the Spirit and we have righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit...no matter what our circumstances are!

Yours in Him,
Craig

"Equip to fight." Now that's an interesting concept mstovall - because when faced with situations, maybe out of love, maybe because they don't want to face it, or maybe because they don't want to rock the boat or get involved - is to run away from it. Putting all that aside, there are some things in life whereby you have to stand your ground.  And when people decide to do that, God equips them for the road (or fight) ahead, and in some areas of life - people would admire other people more for standing their ground - than backing away from it.  And by the way (just in case people get the wrong inmpression of what I've written), you don't have to fight to fight.  People just need to stand their ground and not quit.
