That's Enough!

"That's enough!" I said yesterday after several of my friends had sent me prayer requests.  It was time for some focused devil-defeating prayer!  When is enough of the enemy way too much of the enemy?  When we get fed up, stand up, and say, "That's enough!"  When we determine to stand in the gap for our friends and family members, that's when the devil goes running!

I implore you, don't let another day go by where you allow the devil to steal from you or the ones you love.  John 10:10 is crystal clear about the devil's M.O., "to kill, steal, and destroy," none of which we have to take lying down.  The Bible is also very clear about our position, "You are from God...greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world," (1 John 4:4).  But simply knowing our position isn't good enough; we must have follow-through to ward off the enemy. "Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil.  He prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.  Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith," (1 Peter 5:8-9).  The enemy knows that if he can't get you to back down from your stance on God's Word, then he's got nothing.  But if he can get you to waver, falter, and flee, then just like a lion pursues his prey, he knows he's got you.  That is why we must stand firm against him.

Today I challenge you: If you or a loved one is being attacked by the enemy, today is your day to stand up and say "No more!"  Don't let the enemy take any more ground than he's taken.  Today is your day to stand up and stand in the gap and defeat him!

Be strong and courageous.  Do not be afraid or discouraged because of the vast army.  For this battle is not yours but God's...Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you. ~ 2 Chronicles 20:15, 17
