If you must change your status, if you want to leave your present state
of insufficiency and oppression to a place of abundance and security, you must
be ready for a fight. I do not speak of physical fights with fists and guns.
Ephesians 6:12 says “For we do not wrestle against
flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers
of the darkness of this age, against spiritual wickedness in heavenly places.” This
is a battle settled upon your knees in the place of prayer.
Stop complaining about the situation, rather confront the opposition and
get your victory. In the Exodus chapter 7, when Moses and Aaron went before
Pharaoh to demand the freedom of the Israelite's, Aaron dropped his rod on the
ground as God commanded them and the rod became a serpent. In verse Exodus 11
and 12, Pharaoh called on his Wise men and sorcerers and their rods turned to
serpents as well by enchantment. Then
there was a battle.
What if Aaron’s rod had just stayed down without fighting, the rods of
the magicians would have devoured that of Aaron. There are many forces fighting
your testimony, but will you sit and fold your arms, or will you face the
forces in the place of prayer and defeat them.
The bible says in Matthew 11:12“And from the days of John the Baptist until
now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.”
Stand up, be aggressive in the spirit and move to your next level.
