God said it, I believe it.
That settles it. x2
Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication. 2 Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise; 3 Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me. 4 My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me. 5 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me… 16 As for me, I will call upon God; and the Lord shall save me. 17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice Psalms 55: 1-5, 16-17 (KJV)
Father, we thank You for all You have done for us, Your Word is Yea and Amen. You are our helper in time of need. All power belongs to You. You are more than conquering to them that fears You. We bow before Your Majesty, let all glory, honour, adoration be unto You alone Who is worthy of our praise.
Dearly beloved, have you made up your mind to be enlisted among the intercessors? Pray for the grace to be available. There is no tenable excuse, every family needs atleast one. However, in order not break the chain, I will suggest you prayerfully join someone. Someone who will keep you on your toes or join a group in your local church to make sure that the fire keep burning and will never go down in Jesus Name.
Beloved, do you know that any child of God is dear to God. Ever being worried about the threat of the enemies, their schemes and laughter at your ordeal? Woe unto them that calls or make you their enemies, for they have made themselves God’s own enemy. God had promised to fight your battle for you so be still and see His enemies fall and bow before Him. They will know that you are serving a Living God that never fails, sleep nor slumber. He will keep your going and coming back in Jesus Christ Name. Come and see how they fall as card pack.
“The Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord.” Exod. 7:5
The ungodly world is hard to teach. Egypt does not know Jehovah, and therefore dares to set up its idols, and even ventures to ask — “Who is the Lord?” Yet the Lord means to break proud hearts, whether they will or not. When His judgments thunder over their heads, darken their skies, destroy their harvests, and slay their sons, they begin to discern somewhat of Jehovah’s power. There will yet be such things done in the earth as shall bring skeptics to their knees. Let us not be dismayed because of their blasphemies, for the Lord can take care of His own name, and He will do so in a very effectual manner.
The salvation of His own people was another potent means of making Egypt know that the God of Israel was Jehovah, the living and true God. No Israelite died by any one of the ten plagues. None of the chosen seed were drowned in the Red Sea. Even so, the salvation of the elect, and the sure glorification of all true believers, will make the most obstinate of God’s enemies acknowledge that Jehovah He is the God.
Oh, that His convincing power would go forth by His Holy Spirit in the preaching of the gospel, till all nations shall bow at the name of Jesus, and call Him Lord! Amen.
There are some promises of God that put on my dancing shoes. Listen to these the God’s enemy will bow, not only will the Lord’s enemy bow, God himself will deliver you from the fowler snare. It will not come near you your dwelling in case you step in unknowingly, He will still make a way of escape:
“Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler.” Psalm 91:3
God delivers His people from the snare of the fowler in two senses. From, and out of. First, He delivers them from the snare—does not let them enter it; and secondly, if they should be caught therein, He delivers them out of it. The first promise is the most precious to some; the second is the best to others.
“He shall deliver thee from the snare.” How? Trouble is often the means whereby God delivers us. God knows that our backsliding will soon end in our destruction, and He in mercy sends the rod. We say, “Lord, why is this?” not knowing that our trouble has been the means of delivering us from far greater evil. Many have been thus saved from ruin by their sorrows and their crosses; these have frightened the birds from the net. At other times, God keeps His people from the snare of the fowler by giving them great spiritual strength, so that when they are tempted to do evil they say, “How can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?” But what a blessed thing it is that if the believer shall, in an evil hour, come into the net, yet God will bring him out of it!
O backslider, be cast down, but do not despair. Wanderer though thou hast been, hear what thy Redeemer saith—”Return, O backsliding children; I will have mercy upon you.” But you say you cannot return, for you are a captive. Then listen to the promise—”Surely He shall deliver thee out of the snare of the fowler.” Thou shalt yet be brought out of all evil into which thou hast fallen, and though thou shalt never cease to repent of thy ways, yet He that hath loved thee will not cast thee away; He will receive thee, and give thee joy and gladness, that the bones which He has broken may rejoice. No bird of paradise shall die in the fowler’s net.
This is the written Word of the Lord and it can never be broken. Are you afraid of any situation? Is the enemies boosting at camp, taunting and laughing at you? Hear me child of God, No child of God shall die in the fowler’s net. He will surely take care of His Name. P-r-a-i-s-e the Lord.
