“No matter how fierce the enemy seems–when fear cripples us, anger enrages us, or selfishness possesses us; when adversity crushes us, opposition hounds us, or temptation plagues us–God is greater.”Author― Katy Kauffman, (Read 2 Timothy)
I am a prayer mentor for God and I love to pray for people who are facing huge life challenges and I keep an ongoing encouraging relationship with them as they “grow through” very hard times. I have experienced that our God always gives us people in our lives to help hold us up, undergird us with His truth, instill His hope, and be the courage of His love when we so desperately need it. When someone comes alongside of you in prayer, support and hope, I call this a divine appointment with God’s prayer mentor. God is so good at arranging these divine appointments with people He uses to help others and I hope to always be His prayer mentor as I live to serve Him. If you are in the middle of a great trial, it can drain your hope and if I am in your life, you will always hear me say this to you:
“Cling to God, Dig Your Life Roots Deeply In His Kingdom.”
If you are in the middle of a very challenging life season that is stealing the hope in your soul, I pray God sends you a prayer mentor who will let you borrow their hope as you strengthen yours in the love and power of Jesus Christ. Listen:
“When we pray for the Spirit’s help … we will simply fall down at the Lord’s feet in our weakness. There we will find the victory and power that comes from His love.” Author~Murray
Clinging To God Through Prayer
If there is a battle raging in your life, it is spiritual and it is not against flesh and blood! When you are fighting a fight of faith against an unseen enemy, this is a really good prayer to pray:
Lord Jesus, I ask you to raise a standard of righteousness against the enemy in this situation! (Isaiah 59:19) I pray as the enemy is resisted, he will flee, (James 4:7) and as the good fight of faith is fought, You, Jesus will deliver us from our enemy and all of his devices. 1 Timothy 6:12; 1 Peter 5:9 Let it be so! AMEN!
Lord Jesus, You said that when the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of God will raise a standard against him! (Isa.59:19) But You also said that we should do OUR part. You said, “RESIST the Enemy and he shall flee from thee!” (Jam.4:7) I pray we will be found “FIGHTING the good fight of faith! — Resisting our adversary the Devil!” Lord help us to trust completely in YOU, Lord Jesus, to deliver us from our enemy and all of his devices! 1Tim.6:12; 1Pet.5:9.
“Like an echo from a ruined castle, prayer is an echo from the ruined human soul of the sweet promise of God.” Various Authors
Digging Your Life Roots Deeply In His Wisdom
Here is some great wisdom for you to take into your spirit today as you fight the good fight of faith:
“The enemy wants to make you believe that you are powerless over the circumstance of life, that God or no one else loves you and that you are all alone, you are going to lose your mind or that you are not smart enough to get out of this one. I call this the Divide and Conquer Strategy; I believe this one of the enemy’s most successful strategies. Simply because, if he can make you feel and believe that you are unloved, not needed, and alone; you become hopeless! But the enemy is a liar and the Bible calls Him the Father of all lies.” Author~Michelle Word Hollis
“The Word of God seems to be the only offensive weapon which you have in your spiritual armory. It is quite powerful, and in the words of Hebrews 4:12, “It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword” (NLT). You make use of this weapon when you speak God’s Word to the enemy concerning the situation you face. In spiritual warfare, faith is the currency that releases your prayer. It is the instrument (or weapon, if you like) that activates and sets loose the answers to your prayers. The authority that God has given you over Satan is ample, wide-ranging, thorough, all embracing.” Author~ Pedro Okoro
Fight The Good Fight By Clinging To God’s Promises
When I was a child, we would play this game called “King Of The Mountain” and it invariably included everyone trying to stay on the bed without being pushed off and the one who remained after all the shoving was done, was the king of the mountain. Jesus is the King of our mountains and as the enemy tries to push us around, if we cling to Jesus, we will remain with Him, endure and win the battle. There are many challenges in this life that our enemy will use to try to beat us down and that is why God has given us His Promises to cling to, because they stand strong in every and any situation, they prevail.
Read the Bible not as a newspaper, but as a letter from home. If a promise lies on the page as a blank check, cash it. If prayer is recorded, appropriate it and launch it as a feathered arrow from the bow of your desire. If an example of holiness gleams before you, ask God to do as much for you. Author~F.B. Meyer
