You will discover that the invasion of the enemies against the righteous is not conditional, it says ''when the enemies'' meaning that the enemies will surely come. But when they gather, they shall fall for your sake. When they come in like a flood, the spirit of the Lord raises a banner of defense against them. Therefore do not engage yourself trying to defend against the enemy, God's spirit handles that. Engage yourself trying to develop intimacy with the Holy Spirit. But how does God protect his own by the spirit and the word, in verse 21 of Isaiah 59, ''As for me this is my covenant with them, saith the lord, my spirit that is upon thee, and my word which I have put in thy mouth shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed saith the Lord, from henceforth and forever''. His promise to save began from verse 1 where He like John the Baptist have to make the way straight by bringing down every mountain, exalting every valley, making every rough part smooth and every rugged part straight before we can see the glory or the salvation of the Lord. God's hand is not too short to save nor his ear hard to hear our call. Sin and iniquity separates between us and Him.
Questions
1. What do we do to access and be accessed by God for our help?
2. When the enemy comes in like a flood, how does God promise to defend us?
3. Can the flood of the enemy be strong enough to tear down God's standard, wall or banner of defence over us?
Prayer
O Lord God of a truth enemies abound, ''remember the word unto thy servant upon which thou hast caused me to hope'' Psm 119:49; Let thy word quicken me in Jesus name.
