Resisting the Enemy Part 3

2 Cronicas 31:7-9
{Spanish RVR1960} "Esforzaos y animaos; no temáis, ni tengáis miedo del rey de Asiria, ni de toda la multitud que con él viene; porque más hay con nosotros que con él. Con él está el brazo de carne, mas con nosotros está Jehová nuestro Dios para ayudarnos y pelear nuestras batallas..."

{English NIV} "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged because of the king of Assyria and the vast army with him, for there is a greater power with us than with him. With him is only the arm of flesh, but with us is the LORD our God to help us and to fight our battles..."

IN the passage above we see a man of God (King Hezekiah) fighting one of his biggest battles ever. The king from Assyria and his letters of intimidation had caused the people to fear in the sight of his blasphemy's against God.

King Hezekiah was in the middle of a revival when this suddenly occurred. Why do you think the enemy stands up against you when you are in the best of times? Isn't it funny how when you are fasting and praying the most is when the enemy tends to stand up against you? Why if you are doing God's will does the enemy stand up so forcefully?

Let me tell you warrior of God... The only reason why the enemy is coming against you is because you are causing harm to his kingdom. Let it be known that when Hezekiah felt at his worst moment he... PRAYED! Consulted the prophet Isaiah and encouraged the people to believe in the Almighty.

Read the life of Hezekiah in the book of 2 Kings and compare it to the book of 2 Chronicles and you will see a man of faith and dedication towards God. He didn't give up even when challenged with an invading king...

Don't give up! Resist the Enemy!

Isaiah 59:19 "...When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him."
