I am absolutely
convinced that satan is so successful in frightening believers
today, that many things don't get done.
What do I mean?
Any time deliverance is involved,
the believer will see some mighty strange things. He must be
willing to ride out the storm and let the Lord calm the wind
and the waves.
Today's Christian usually quits
when he realizes he cannot calm the storm himself, and he feels
that he must either dive for shelter, or outrun the wind.
The enemy specializes in doing
things that seem totally normal, but when it comes to strongholds
being torn down, look out!
Can you take it?
Are you willing to step away from
convention and let the Lord have some room? Be careful to avoid
a glib answer, because when real deliverance is the case, it
takes supernatural patience and a determination to wait it out
even if you have a target painted on yourself.
Where there are those who will trust
God and stand firm, strongholds of the enemy are torn
down and there is much glory. There is a radiance that you do
not see in other contexts, and those folks can sing about some
things you would not understand, even if they gave you details.
In heaven, all those times will
seem small compared to the brilliance of His glorified presence.
But here, those times seem weird, and people do not like to be
involved - it is too costly.
Wasn't Jericho weird?
Wasn't Goliath weird?
Wasn't the Red Sea weird?
Wasn't the Crucifixion weird?
