Oh Lord, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! That is my claim to fame today and that the blessings and favor of the Lord in my life far exceed the tactics of the enemy. Although, he is diligently on his job, doing whatever he can to distract, discourage, and disrupt, I am yet standing and I’m still strong! I have found him to be a liar and certainly, he is deemed the father of them. However, God has promised complete victory over our enemies according to His promises.
Not only did He tell the children of Israel, but it is for us as well today, that they would have victory and that they would tread on the enemies high places. Tread has two meanings and you can apply it to your life the way you see fit because you have that option, frankly, I love both definitions combined. To tread means to trample, walk on, step on, across, and to crush or damage; to proceed or behave in a particular way. So, here’s what I proclaim: I’m going to put the enemy under my feet, trample on his head and then proceed by the power that has been vested in me, to move on to greater and higher heights, above and beyond what I think or imagine and take possession of what God has purposed for my life. I am applying all of my energy to praising God for what He has done, currently doing, and about to do. Keeping close to my heart, the reminders in His word, that I am more than a conqueror, that my faith is also my shield, my protection, and the word is my sword; and that always and without fail, He is my defender. Regardless of my circumstances or situations, His truth stands up in my defense. Every word of God is truth and the enemy's a lie, because there is no truth in him.
We have to embrace, hold fast to our faith, for He is faithful that promised (Hebrew 10:23). We must serve him in righteousness, holiness and without fear as to what the enemy tries to do to us; knowing that we are covered by His word, covered by the whole amrour of God, as well as covered by the blood of Jesus. God will position us in the high places, places where we have stepped high over the enemies strong holds and crushed that which he has built up against us to tear us down. He reminded me that “every place that the sole of my feet shall tread upon, He has given to me" (Joshua 1:3). Now, that is a promise that the enemy can't touch, no matter what he throws my way, it shall be given to me. It's not only a promise to me, but a promise to you also. This should make us happy to know that we are God's people, the ones the Lord saved and is able to keep us from falling from the lies, the tricks, and the deceit of the enemy. I can rejoice knowing that I'm able to tread on the high places while going on to see what the Lord has for me!
Until the morning, be blessed,
Cynde
