Your enemies will fall

"I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee."

Exodus 23:27



Today's opening scripture reveals to us more benefits for serving the Lord. When you serve the Lord, He will send His fear before you. He will also make all your enemies turn their backs before you. This is why anyone that stands against a man that is serving the Lord faithfully has secured his own down fall.

In Daniel chapter 6, certain of the Presidents in Babylon conspired against Daniel who they greatly envied because he was a Jew and he served Jehovah who made him more excellent than them. In order to kill Daniel a faithful servant of Jehovah, they passed a law demanding that no person in the kingdom should pray to any God except the king for the next thirty days or such a person would be thrown into the lion's den. They knew that Daniel's faithful service to his God would cause him to break the law so he could be killed.

Just as they expected, Daniel went to pray and he opened his window as at other times facing Jerusalem. Not regarding their law, he prayed to His God. They saw him, reported him and persuaded the king to arrest him and throw him into the lion's den. Before Daniel was thrown into the den, the king said to him, "…Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee." Daniel 6:16. Sure enough, Daniel was delivered from the lions and all those men who accused him was cast into the lion's den with their children and their wives. This shows us that any one that stands against you has decided his own downfall.

Prayer.

Dear Father, I thank you because according to your Word, they shall surely gather, but not by you, therefore in the Name of Jesus, I declare that whosoever shall gather together against me shall fall for my sake. Amen.

Doing the Word

Let your heart be confident even if you hear that some persons have gathered against you.
