The Enemy Is Cut Off

We as believers are the most fortunate among men. We have someone that looks out for us that has the ability and desire to so do. That is our God. Since He is Creator of all things, He is greater than all things. And He watches over us. There are so many times in life that we are faced with challenges that seem to big for us. The truth is, if we were alone to fight this darkness, we would be to small for that task. But we are not alone, and we do not have to fight our enemies, because God will fight for us. Nahum spoke of this in the Old Testament, speaking to and of our enemy that tries to defeat us and telling us to rejoice in the good news.

Nahum 1:11 There is one come out of thee, that imagineth evil against the Lord, a wicked counsellor.
12 Thus saith the Lord; Though they be quiet, and likewise many, yet thus shall they be cut down, when he shall pass through. Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.
13 For now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder.
14 And the Lord hath given a commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name be sown: out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the graven image and the molten image: I will make thy grave; for thou art vile.
15 Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace! O Judah, keep thy solemn feasts, perform thy vows: for the wicked shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.

God is on our side and sees what the enemy tries to do to us. He will not let this happen. He rises us when we walk in His ways and destroys our enemy. He will utterly cut off our adversary from our midst. Truly we are a blessed people!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You as our King. You alone stand between us and the enemy. You alone will defend us, and we praise You for it. Please forgive us when we stray. Please help us today. Send Your healing, deliverance, and provision today. In Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) name. Amen.
