Can you hear the battle-cry?

Dear brothers and sisters, let us be in prayer. We will be entering a season of spiritual warfare and testing. This is the rite of passage whenever we are to take new territory. Whether it be in our soul, family, finances, and or spirit. Maybe it is all of the above. Whenever we take new territory we need to be prepared for the battle. Jesus already won but we must dispossess the enemy. We do that by arming ourselves with the Word of God! We do that by prayer and fasting! We do that by thanking and praising God! Does it hurt? Yes! Is it going to be hard! Absolutely. Warriors are not born they are made. Don't expect the devil to leave you alone when you are down. Don't expect him to cut you a break. Quite the opposite. The devil comes in your wilderness. He comes when your hungry, tired, alone, and contending. We have only one thing to answer, "IT IS WRITTEN!" Doing all to stand. Do you know what that means? You don't budge. You don't even wink an eye. You don't retreat. You don't throw in the towel. Help is coming. God will send angels to minister to you. Stand in faith. I'm talking to me and many of you this morning. If you want new territory then you will need to pay the price. Don't expect everything to be handed to you. It doesn't work that way. Get up, stop feeling sorry for yourself, and playing the victim. Realize you have favor, blessing, and victory. Can you hear the battle cry! It's time to call a solemn assembly. It's time to bow our faces to the ground, in humility to God in repentance. Then we will hear from heaven. It will stop the devil right in his tracks. If that's what you want to happen in your life then that's what we need to do. It's time to go to God's throne room and win our battles in our knees.
