As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites
were winning, but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning.
~ Exodus 17:11
Takeover
Such a simple word, and yet, so powerful! I love it when God reaches down and touches
us in simple, yet intimate ways. When
God calls you to greatness, calls you for His purposes and plan, it is His
desire that you will take back and takeover the places in which the enemy has
had control.
Last Tuesday, God showed me that when we stand with our
whole lives worshiping Him, the enemy is defeated, because he has no power. It is in that time, that the army of the Lord
begins to gain ground—to takeover—defeating the enemy. The chains of pity, defeat, depression,
anxiety and sickness are loosed from around you and begin to bind up your
enemy. Freed from those chains, with
your heart stayed on the Father, He is able to promote you from glory to glory,
as you grow in the image of the Son and the Father.
But when the details start to pick at you and you begin
to notice them more than you do the glory of the Father, when your life of
worship begins to fade and become stale, the chains that were binding your
enemy become loosed around him and begin to bind you, again. You stop gaining ground for the Lord and
begin to lose the battle you are in.
But there is yet hope, even for those bound in chains.
A life once lifted up in worship can be lifted up again! One small step toward the Father is a giant
leap toward victory. Each step we take
in our walk of faith is blow after blow in the enemy’s face.
Takeover
That was the word at my seat in a meeting that very same Tuesday.
Thank you, Father God for loving us so personally. Thank you for taking the time to touch us in
intimate ways, just to let us know that you are with us. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.
But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a
mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from
glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit. ~ 2 Corinthians 3:18
